How do I cite myself as the author of a photograph in MLA?
Answer
When citing yourself as the author of a photograph, the photograph must be publicly available.
To cite a photograph you took in MLA style, include the following information:
- The author
- The title of the photograph or a description
- The container (where the photograph can be viewed)
- The location (URL)
Formatting a citation for a photograph you took in MLA style should follow the structure below:
Format:
Author Last name, Author First Name. "Title or Description." Container, URL.
If the photograph is not publicly available, you can include it directly in your assignment and create a label for the photograph.
Format:
Figure 1. Title. Location
Example:
Figure 1. Ralph King Building. Edmonton.
NOTE: In this case, you do not need to indicate yourself as the author because it is assumed.
