Date, place and photographer are the basic information about a photo, and I think it's something the reader would expect to see in the caption.
The nearest book to hand (Charles Hadfield's "The Canals of the East Midlands") doesn't provide photographer name in the image captions. Neither does the second nearest (Jack Livesey's "Armoured Fighting Vehicles of World Wars I and II")
I think the under-photograph cites are more of a newspaper/pamphlet convention, books typically having a dedicated section for any necessary photo credits.
