For an upcoming trip, I want to use Photos in my iPhone 13 to back up RAW images from my DSLR camera. My question is: Is there a way to add keywords or captions to the images once they are in Photos? Thank you so much.

iPhone 13, iOS 17
The ability to add captions to photos has only recently been added to the iPhone and iPad with iOS 15. And it is not very well described in the User Guide, but one of the best improvements to Photos in a long time. See: View photos and videos in Photos on iPhone - Apple Support (BW) (the paragraph "See photo and video information").
Once you open the Info of a photo, you can type the caption into the field where it says "Add a Caption". When you want to use this information in searches, add the relevant search terms to the beginning of the caption, or they may not get indexed.
The captions will sync with iCloud Photos to your other devices using iCloud Photos.

The Photos app on your iPhone allows adding captions but not keywords. Only the Mac version of Photos can add keywords.
Leonie: Thank you for the response. Yes, stumbled across this feature. It just might work for me if my iPhone has sufficient capacity to download a lot of RAW images from my camera.
Good Luck!
Is there a way to search images by keywords/captions in Photos?
