Step 1
Indent all but the first line when making a citation. Never double space it. Start by listing the name of the person who owns the picture, starting with his last name, a comma, and then his first name. If you cannot find the image creator's name, then list the first and last name of the person who created the website. After their name, put a period and a space.
-
Step 2
List the title of the image you are citing inside quotation marks, and put a period at the end. The period should be before the last set of quotations. If the title of the work isn't listed, use a word that best describes the subject of the photo. If you're citing a picture of a tiger, for example, call the photo "Tiger."
-
Step 3
List a describing word for the photo with a period at the end. This can be the same word that you used for the title if the picture had no official title. Use a space after the word. Make sure not to put this word in quotations, otherwise it may be confused with the title of the photo.
-
Step 4
Put the main title of the website in italics with a space but no period after it. If the website doesn't have a title, leave it blank. If you cannot use italics in whatever program you are typing in, put the title of the website in single quotations instead of double. Use 'Tom's Site for Tigers' instead of "Tom's Site for Tigers."
-
Step 5
List the date the website was published starting with the numeral date, the abbreviation for that month, and the year followed by a period. Insert a space and list the date that you viewed the website, following the same format. Use only a space afterward, not a period.
-
Step 6
Name the URL of the site where you found the photo last. Put a bracket followed by the full website's URL and second bracket to close it. Put a period at the end, and check to make sure that your URL is correct.
