Note 'Alt' Text: Providing a short description of the photo is important for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and screen readers.
SEO helps search engines such as Google identify information within a website for better search results.
Screen Reader software is assistive technology that is sometimes used by persons who have a difficult time seeing or reading a screen. Providing 'Alt' text provides a description of the photo that the screen reader can read out loud to the user.
