Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide

• The image should appear as soon as possible after the first text reference to it (3.8: Placement of Illustrations Relative to Text).
• Below the image, the caption will begin with “Figure” or “Fig” followed by a number and period. When referring to figures in your text, use lower case – eg. figure 1 (3.7: Captions, Legends, Keys, and Labels)
• Information below the image can consist of a word or two, incomplete sentences, several sentences or a combination.

Information about paintings, photographs, sculptures, or other works of art can be presented in the text rather than in the bibliography. 14.133: Citing Paintings, Photographs, and Sculpture.

But you can also include information in your Bibliography in this format:

Artist (or author, cartographer), Title (in italics), Date of creation or completion, Information about the medium, Location of work (in italics if a journal, database or book), URL if online

Example:

McCurry, Steve. Afghan Girl. December 1984. Photograph. National Geographic, cover, June 1985. 

To cite illustrations or tables see 14.57: Citing Illustrations and Tables.
