Citing an Image - APA 7
The basic APA (7th edition) format for citing images is:
Image creator’s Last name, First initial. Middle initial. (Year published). Title of image [Photograph, Cartoon, Painting, etc.]. URL (address of website)
For example, an APA citation for this image of Al Zubarah Fort, found on Wikimedia Commons would look like this:
Miranda, O.R. (2018). The first World Heritage Site in Qatar [Photograph]. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Qatar#/media/File:Al_Zubarah_Fort._Doha-Qatar.jpg
