Annotated images

In the pages of a new website I'm placing images, each of which has a
brief description below it plus the photographer's name.

If I leave the 'alt' attribute empty, the accompanying description will
mean nothing if the image isn't displayed. However, if the image is
described (in the 'alt') it just adds to the clutter for those who don't
see the image.

The images provide a visual handle on the text but aren't necessary to
understand the text.

Any thoughts?

Kind Regards
