hi lily,
credits for photography are tricky.
if you hire a photographer, you are not required to name him or her.
if the photographer is a coauthor of the publication featuring his or her photographs, you don't need to give special credit for them -- except if you use the work of other photographers as well you probably want to distinguish which photos come from the coauthor and which come from other sources.
different countries have different norms. i don't think there are universal standards. generally, it is a friendly gesture to acknowledge all special contributions to the report of research. but then, there rarely are credits given to the composer of diagrams contained in scientific publications. at the same time, i once wanted to use the diagram from a scholarly publication and gave appropriate credit to the author and where it was published. my editor reminded me that i had to get copyrights from the publisher of that diagram. that publisher wanted $100 for permission to use it in my paper. i redrew it with context specific improvements after which it was an "original." i gave the author credit but didn't have to pay the publisher.
when rules are unclear the best heuristic is to ask the author/publisher as to what they expect and would be happy with.
cheers
klaus

Subject: Credit for photographic materials in research publications
Dear all,
I would like to solicit your opinion and wisdom on the matter of crediting an author for the photographic documentation of a project that is used in a research article.
If the photographer is already also one of the authors of the article, is there a problem in crediting him or her also as the author of some of the visual documentation used?
Will the reviewers of the article consider this a strange practice?
Are there any general (better) practices regarding these matters?
Thanks in advance for your help with this matter!
Best regards,
Lily
