See examples  Self-citation and  Illustrations on the Harvard Manchester page for more examples.
 

Note: In theory, you do not need to cite and reference a photograph that you have taken yourself as you are the creator of the photograph. 

However, if you are inserting the photo into your work, you would need to add a caption beneath any illustration within the main body of your work, ie, giving the photo a title, as follows:

Figure 1: Title of photo. 

You would then refer to the photo in the main body of your text, to explain why you have included it in your work, for example:

Figure 1 shows…

There are exceptions to when you would need to cite and reference photographs you have taken yourself, which are when the photograph is of a source of information, for example archive material, a poster created by someone else, or a work of art in a museum or gallery which you are referring to in your work.  In this case, you should cite and reference the source itself.
