The question you asked was what to do with photo credit when an author or members of the author team also contribute a photograph to an article — that is someone who deserves signing rights as an author of an article by virtue of an intellectual contribution to the article.

Gunnar's notes on copyright transfer require consideration if one uses images or material by a photographer who is not the author or is outside the author team. If the photographer is an author or author team member, the copyright to the photo is his or hers to transfer. If the copyright is already assigned, the permission is required.

For a single-author piece, the sole author should receive photo credit to distinguish an author's photos from those of other sources. In an article with more than one author, the question of photo authorship is slightly trickier. In my view, the issue of a documentary photograph taken for illustration purposes is, in some sense, a team effort, like the text, and all authors should share credit. But there may be cases in which specific photos taken in field work or other contexts by a single author among two or more should have sole photographer credit. This, as with authorship, is an issue to work out in advance, though there may sometimes be a situation that requires renegotiation.

A photo credit attributes authorship of a photo to the creator or creators of that photo on the photo itself, as distinct from the author credit of the article. Every photograph, illustration, diagram, or figure in an article should carry a credit in addition to the caption. While this is often assumed, I think that no assumptions should be made in an era where images and text can travel easy between and among articles, sources, and systems, sometimes separate to the author's by-line on an article.

If authors transfer all rights in an article to a publisher, they also transfer copyright to images except where they use images have been published or copyrighted elsewhere. This applies even when authors use their own images published and copyright by another publisher. All images that are not included in the rights transfer and copyrighted by the publisher should carry a copyright mark and copyright information on the image. Copyright information often appears as a small line running up the side of the image, in distinction to the caption and credit lines beneath the image. Photo credits sometimes appear on the same line with copyright in the case of a professional photographer.
