If you refer to an image that you have found in a printed source, e.g. a book, you must provide a reference for that source. Check with your tutor about the most appropriate way to present images in your work, e.g. including a list of images in an appendix. It is not necessary to provide a reference in your reference list for an image that you have created yourself.
