Ask Mecha: Photo Credit? So I'm sending out press releases & I'm including pictures I took. Do I append a photo credit and if so, how do I phrase that?
→[More:]Usually, what I do is send an image attached to the press release (all of this is done via email) and at the end of the message I add a line that says "Attached image is "Toy Rabbit Attacking Goat With Shears" or something exciting like that, you know, like "Kids in Museum Admiring Gemstones" or "Quartz Sample" and then I don't say anything but perhaps I should say something such as Photo credit myname or should it be Photo By myname or is there some other line I should add? In other words, what do you say if it's your photo? I never ran into this problem at the art museums, because there the image citations were all nice and clear, not to mention gone over by curators endlessly and stuff like where the comma goes, which part is in italics and how you do the dimensions was set in stone that could not be tampered with.
