+# PhotoCarousel
+
+The `PhotoCarousel` component creates a simple and accessible photo carousel with built-in lazy-loading and mobile swipe.
+
+```svelte
+<script>
+  import { PhotoCarousel } from '@reuters-graphics/graphics-components';
+
+  const photos = [
+    {
+      src: 'https://.../myImage.jpg',
+      altText: 'A picture of...',
+      caption: 'My caption...', // Optional
+      credit: 'REUTERS/Jane Doe', // Optional
+      objectFit: 'contain', // Optional
+      objectPosition: '50% 50%', // Optional
+    },
+  ];
+</script>
+
+<PhotoCarousel {photos} />
+```
+
+<Canvas of={PhotoCarouselStories.Demo} />
+
+## Using with ArchieML docs
+
+With the Graphics Kit, you'll likely get your text value from an ArchieML doc...
+
+```yaml
+# ArchieML doc
+[blocks]
+type: photo-carousel
+
+# List of photo data
+[.photos]
+  # Photo 1
+  src: 'images/myImage.jpg', # The source path can be a URL or a local path
+  altText: 'A picture of...',
+  caption: 'My caption...', // Optional
+  credit: 'REUTERS/Jane Doe', // Optional
+  objectFit: 'contain', // Optional
+  objectPosition: '50% 50%', // Optional
+
+  # Photo 2
+  src: 'images/myImage2.jpg',
+  altText: 'A picture of...',
+  caption: 'My caption...', // Optional
+  credit: 'REUTERS/Jane Doe', // Optional
+  objectFit: 'contain', // Optional
+  objectPosition: '50% 50%', // Optional
+  ...
+[]
+[]
+```
+
+... which you'll parse out of a ArchieML block object before passing to the `PhotoCarousel` component.
+
+> **Important❗:** If you're using the Graphics Kit and your photos are saved locally in `src/statics` instead of being on the web, pass the Svelte-kit `assets` string to `PhotoCarousel` to get the correct path. You can't mix and match, though -- all photos must be either local or web-hosted.
+
+```svelte
+<!-- App.svelte -->
+<script>
+  import { PhotoCarousel } from '@reuters-graphics/graphics-components';
+  import { assets } from '$app/paths'; // 👈 If using in the Graphics Kit...
+
+  import content from '$locales/en/content.json';
+</script>
+
+{#each content.blocks as block}
+  {#if block.type === 'photo-carousel'}
+  <!-- Pass `assets` if using photos saved in your Graphics Kit project folder -->
+    <PhotoCarousel {block.photos} {assets} />
+  {/if}
+{/each}
+
+```
+
+<Canvas of={PhotoCarouselStories.Demo} />
+
+## Custom text
+
+To customise the credit and/or caption style, use the `credit` and `caption` [snippets](https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/snippet) and pass `photo` as an argument.
+
+```svelte
+<PhotoCarousel {photos}>
+  <!-- Pass `photo` and use the `photo.credit` string in the HTML -->
+  {#snippet credit(photo)}
+    <p class="custom-credit">{photo.credit}</p>
+  {/snippet}
+
+  <!-- Pass `photo` and use the `photo.caption` string in the HTML -->
+  {#snippet caption(photo)}
+    <p class="custom-caption">{photo.caption}</p>
+  {/snippet}
+</PhotoCarousel>
+
+<!-- Customise credit and caption styles -->
+<style lang="scss">
+  p {
+    position: absolute;
+    color: white;
+    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
+    font-family: sans-serif;
+    font-size: 0.8rem;
+    padding: 0 5px;
+    &.custom-credit {
+      top: 0;
+      right: 0;
+    }
+    &.custom-caption {
+      bottom: 5px;
+      left: 0;
+    }
+  }
