Actually you can just write the emotion or mood on the subject in the picture, but you have to confirm it directly at the source. Also pay attention to the actions of the subject or those around the subject.
2. Don't Be Too Real
Avoid phrases that tell the reader about very obvious actions, such as shaking hands, looking, gestures, chatting, and so on. This, of course, can be seen by the readers. Caption text that is too real like, 'Director A and Director B shake hands', or 'The principal of SMA J is looking at the computer pointed to by teacher B'.

Avoid clichΓ©s or trite words. Avoid using words that describe actions with feelings, such as excited, rejoicing, jumping with joy, clapping happily, and so on.
