How to Cite Photographs or Images for SOC 1010 Unit V Photo Essay Assignment Included below are examples of paper segments that include images with captions, a description, and intext citation and reference examples for various types of images. It is important to remember that according to APA style, personal images would not be cited or referenced; however, for the requirement of this assignment, example citations for personal images have been provided. All of the references for the paper should be included on the references page at the end of the paper. Below each image, you will provide a caption for the image and a paragraph description of the image (at least 100 words). Example Image from the Web Below is an example of an image from Wikimedia Commons (free use). The information is shown as it would appear in the paper, except the reference for the image will be included on the references page. Image 1: Sunset view from Phoenix Condo in Orange Beach, AL (Stephenson, 2009). This is where the description begins. Describe the photo and its relevance. Place an intext citation with any description of the photo itself (Stephenson, 2009). More information for the description to equal at least 100 words will go here. References Stephenson, K. (2009, September 30). Phoenix condo’s view in Orange Beach Alabama.jpg [Photograph]. Retrieved from https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Phoenix _Condos_view_in_Orange_Beach_Alabama.jpg Note: If there is a title for the photograph, include it as shown in italics with only the first word, proper nouns, and the first word after punctuation capitalized. Include the format within brackets (not italicized). It is possible that an organization can be used as the author if no person is listed as the photographer and the photograph is found on its website; however, be sure that it is a government agency, educational institution, corporation, or other official organization, not just the name of a website. For example, (City of Orange Beach, 2017). If the image author is a username, use the name as it is listed. See the reference at the end of the document to see how to cite with a username. Example Personal Image Below the image, you will provide a caption and the in-text citation for the image. In the 100-word description of the image that follows, you might include that you photographed the image along with the circumstances under which the photo was taken and the relationship it has to the topic. The reference for the image will be included on the references page. Image 2: Sunset view from Cotton Bayou public beach in Orange Beach, AL (Snyder, 2014). The 100-word description begins here. Be sure to use in-text citations where you discuss the photo and what is pictured (Snyder, 2014). Include your description that explains how this photograph supports your essay. References Snyder, K. (2014, October). [Photograph of sunset in Orange Beach, AL]. Orange Beach, AL: Author. Note: If there is no title for the photograph, a description will be included within brackets as shown with only the first word, proper nouns, and the first word after punctuation capitalized (not italicized). Include the format (Photograph) as part of the description. After the photo description or title, place the city and state where the photo was taken followed by a colon and the word Author (not italicized in the reference) to indicate that the author and the source (photographer) are the same. Example Web Image with No Photographer or Creator If there is no photographer or organizational author, the citation and reference will include the description of the image within brackets with only the first word, proper nouns, and the first word after any punctuation capitalized. Remember, it is possible that an organization can be used as the author if no person is listed as the photographer. Image 3: Aerial view of Orange Beach, AL ([Aerial photograph of Orange Beach, AL], n.d.) The description will start here. Notice that since the description of the image is used in the author’s position of the reference, the brackets are also used in the parenthetical in-text citation. If the description of the photograph is used within a sentence, no brackets will be used for the citation. For example, As seen in the Aerial Photograph of Orange Beach, AL (n.d.), there are many inlets in and around Orange Beach. If there is no date listed for when the photograph was taken, use n.d. that stands for no date. References [Aerial photograph of Orange Beach, AL]. (n.d.).

Below is the reference for this image. Additionally, it is an example of an image from Wikimedia Commons (free use) and has a username instead of the full name of the photographer. In this case, use the username as it appears on the website for the reference and the in-text citation. divemasterking2000. (2007, September 7). Orange Beach, AL from a plane (2).jpg [Photograph].

Image 1: American Ghetto (Small, 2016)
The picture represents poor drainage in Louisiana, a state In America. In the majority of
the ghettos in America, the drainage system is inadequate. Stagnant water in such atmospheres is
common; this is as a result of lack of proper housing structures and consequently inadequate
drainage systems. Unlike suburbs where the environment is clean, the ghettos are smelly and
stinking due to sewerage in the drainage systems. The dwellings are considered to be inhabited
by poor Americans who live below the poverty level. The housing in such neighborhoods is low
and therefore affordable to such people. Usually, black people and other immigrants comprise
the most significant number of the population living in such environments. It's the case due to
marginalization by successive governments and discriminative policies by the states.
