Hi Valerie,
The convention among people who create image (or audio) descriptions
professionally is that until the person is named in the text (or movie), you
refer to the person in the picture as "young boy" or "woman" or whatever. That
way, you don't give away an information ahead of when it's presented in the
text (or movie). Make sense?
Carrie

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] question on picture captions
If you know who is in a picture based on the story, do you identify them by
name or do you label them by sex and age like "young boy" or "woman" so that
the picture is text independent?
Often when I am proofing the second is done, but I am inclined instead to name
the person. How does everyone feel about this and what are preferences?
Thanks for your help and input!
