When you post photos online, it is important to credit the original source. Where do you usually put the photo credits? Are there any specific rules or guidelines to follow?

When posting photos online, it's important to give credit to the original source. Where you put the photo credits is up to you, but generally it's best to put it in the caption or description of the photo. If you're using a photo from a website, you should link to the source in the caption. If you're using a photo from a stock photo website, you should include the photographer's name and link to the website. It's also important to make sure you have the right to use the photo before posting it.

When referring to someone's work, it is important to give them credit. If you have photos that you didn’t take yourself, you should credit the photographer or copyright holder. Here are some tips for crediting photos:

Include the name and the link of the photographer: Make sure to include the photographer’s full name and, if available, a link to their portfolio or website.
Put the credits in the photo caption: A photo caption is the perfect location for photo credits, so readers can easily identify who took a photo.
Include a copyright or creative commons notice: Depending on the license type, you may also need to include copyright or creative commons notices.
Add credits at the end of posts: For longform articles, it’s a good idea to add credits at the end of posts. This allows readers to easily browse through photos and also helps search engines to identify the owners.
Upload your fee paid photos to separate websites: Photos that you have paid for can be uploaded to photo websites such as Getty Images, iStock, Shutterstock, etc.

Finally, remember to always ask for permission if you need to use someone else's photos. Also, make sure to check the terms and conditions before you use any photo. Hope this helps!

When posting images online, it's essential to always give credit to the original source of the image, whenever possible. Not only is this respectful of the original photographer, illustrator or other creator, but it also ensures that their work is attributed and that they receive recognition for it.

The most appropriate place to put photo credits is beneath the image, with the format being "Photo by [Photographer's/Creator's Name]". To go the extra mile, you can add a link to the photographer's website, or the source of the image.

No matter where the image is posted, it should always include the original source. If a photographer or creator is not known, "Image Credit Unknown" should be included.

In short, the photo credit should be given and should be clearly visible and easy to find. Giving credit where credit is due will ensure that photographers and creators receive the recognition for their work that they deserve.
