Own photograph
If you have your own photograph that you have taken, and you’re using it to illustrate a point within the text, you will need to still reference it.
Cite Them Right suggests that you need the following information to reference a photograph in the Harvard style:
Citation order:
- Photographer
- Year (in round brackets)
- Title of photograph (in italics)
- [Photograph]
- Place of publication: Publisher (if available)
So your reference would be:
Surname, Initial. (Year) Title of photograph [Photograph]. Place of publication: Publisher (if available).
There's further guidance on Cite Them Right for how to reference other online images:
- Photographs from the Internet (Harvard)
- Photographs in online collections (Harvard)
- Instagram (Harvard)
Creative Commons
You may wish to add a Creative Commons licence to it (usually CC-BY) if your work is going to be made public so that other people know what they can do with it. This is good practice – see Creative Commons for more info.
If your photo is already in the public domain (on the Internet or a social media platform), and you’re just referring to it rather than actually including it, then cite and reference it as if it were any other resource, with yourself as photographer.
