Well, here goes:
How an entity (company or periodical) handles issues like photo
captions might be more of an issue of style rather than effective
communication. Style in this sense means how they handle photo
captions, spacing, names of sources, et al—think of the various style
manuals: APA, MLA, AP, Chicago Manual of Style, NYT Style etc.
I should still have my copy of "Strunk & White" from Freshman English
around here somewhere. Nineteen-Sixty-Five edition I think. Don't refer
to it much now, because it was drilled into me back then.
Captions for group photos are easy -
Top row: Name, Name, Name Top row: Name, Name, Name
Middle Row: Name, Name, Name *OR* Middle Row: Name, Name, Name
Front Row: Name, Name, Name Front Row: Name, Name, Name
... so the faces "line up" with the names in the caption (and vice versa).
If your kid is listed third in "Middle Row:", look for the third kid from
the left in the middle row.
Years from now if someone in the class becomes famous or notorious they'll
still be easy to find in their Third Grade class photo.
