Quick links for using your own images


Using your own images, tables or graphs in a written assignment

You do not need to reference any images, graphs, or tables you have created, or any photos you have taken. However, as your tutor may not know where the image or photo came from, it is good practice to indicate that you provided it. However, this is not necessary for tables or graphs.

The best place to do this is underneath your media. There is no reference list entry required.

Example for a written assignment

Figure 1

Note
For a visual presentation, like PowerPoint, no figure number or image title is required.

How to reference photographs you have taken yourself

If you provide photos you have taken yourself, you do not need to reference them. This means you do not need to include an in-text citation or a full reference entry in your reference list.

However, it is good practice to indicate to your audience and your tutor where the photographs came from. Do this underneath your photo, where the in-text citation would normally go.
