See this example properly formatted in the QUT Cite tool.
There are several components to correctly including images in your work. If you are discussing images in your assignment you only need to cite and reference as you would any other source.
If you are including the image or an adaption of it in your work, you may need to number, title and caption it and/or provide a list of figures. Check your assessment guidelines to see what is required. There are examples of how to do this in the "Heading and caption" section below.
Use this for images that exist as separate entities.

This information is for use in assignments and presentations only. If your work is for publication in any form, you will need to get permission from the copyright owner and include a copyright attribution if you wish to include the image. For more information see the QUT Copyright Guide, the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association, and the APA Style Guide for Figures and Tables.
If there is no attribution directly on an image, assume the author of the source material is the author.
The reference list refers to the entire article/chapter/book, rather than the figure itself. Use the relevant format for the source.
If an image does not have a title, use a description in square brackets instead.
If you made the image yourself, you do not need to include it in the Reference List, but you will still caption it. Leave out From/Adapted from in this case.
For images of a factual nature, use Maps/diagrams etc. - Figure.
If you have seen the original artwork use Creative works - Artwork.
