Since neither IPTC nor Google operate the website that is hosting the image, we can’t remove the image from the web. So if you want to ask for this image to be removed, you should follow that link, find the contact details for the people who run the Connecticut Public Radio site, and ask them to remove or change the image. The link above the page title shows that the image is hosted by Connecticut Public Radio. In the example image shown on the right, the Nelson Mandela image was created by a photographer called Dennis Farrell, and published by AP (the Associated Press news agency) and the copyright is owned by AP. To have an image removed from a web site, so that it doesn’t appear in search results, you will need to contact the site that hosts the image. Google extracts this information from photos in search results and displays it to help you find who owns the image. IPTC maintains the technical standard that image creators can use to put their creator and copyright details inside image files. We at IPTC don’t create or manage any images.
Screenshot of Google image search results panel showing IPTC metadata. I found a picture of myself when searching Google for my name. I have another question that is not listed above.I have noticed my name appearing in Google Images search results for my photos/images.
I would like Google to display creator, credit, copyright and licensing information on them.
