Images and tables in academic/scholarly resources have a relatively standardized presentation format (see examples 2 & 3). However, images found in trade or popular magazines or on websites have no such standard (see example 1). Determining the name of the image, its creator, date, etc. may require some detective work on your part.
If the image has no name: Describe the image in your text. Example: “This portrait of actor Claire Danes at last year’s award ceremony….” Cite according to the instructions in the style guide you are using.
If you cannot determine who created the image: Cite this as you would a source with no author according the guidelines of your style guide.
If you cannot determine the date of the image: Use the date of the source and cite according to the guidelines of your style guide.
Image found on a website
NOTE: Always cite the image from the source in which you found it.
