Photo Captions

Photo captions are commonplace for giving more information about an image or crediting an artist, but that small bit of text below a splashy photo can so easily get lost. With components you can stylize photo captions so your reader is actually drawn to what they have to say.

Examples

Caption on the side

How to make caption on the side

Caption below the photo

<figure class="stk-snippets-caption-01 stk-reset stk-image-figure" data-ce-tag="image-figure">
  <div data-ce-tag="mask" class="stk-mask"></div>
  <figcaption class="stk-reset stk-description" data-ce-tag="description"></figcaption>
</figure>

Content Experience Impact

With components, you have the power to place your caption anywhere you want in relation to the photo to ensure it makes sense with your layout, and include so much more than plain text to ensure your caption doesn’t get lost.

You can also integrate your brand fonts, colors, or even illustrative elements to create small moments of reinforcing who you are, helping to create a more consistent brand experience across your site.
