| | Does the image include a character in the story, or a person in a fiction book? Is this the first time you are introduced to them? If this is the first time the character/person appears in the book, you will want to describe what they look like in greater detail. Afterwards, you can reference them by name and you only have to describe what is different (age, clothing, etc.). Don't name a character/person before they are named in the surrounding text.

If it is a book full of team photos of athletes standing in three or more rows, you can repeat this information over different yet similar the images throughout the book as it fits the context.

Remember, at the end of the day we are replacing images with text. [[public:nnels:etext:images:alt-text_q_a|When in doubt, ask!]]</note> | <note>Sometimes repetition can not be avoided.
