Write a publication-ready photo caption from an image description and story context — following the conventions of news photography captioning (who, what, where, when, plus a context sentence).

Researches and compares potential locations for a filmed or recorded interview, evaluating each against practical criteria — visual suitability, acoustic quality, access, and narrative fit — and producing a ranked shortlist with a recommendation.
