How do I reference and cite a photograph I took myself?
Answer
Don't cite or reference a photograph you took yourself. Instead, set up your photograph as a figure in the body of your paper.
Include these elements in your figure:
- figure # above the photograph
- title in title case and italics beneath the figure #
- description of the photograph under the photo
- year you took the photograph, following the description
Example
Figure 1
