Image copyright info - where to add it?

Dear all,

Do you think that it is appropriate to include copyright information in the
image text alternative? I have seen many websites doing so, even after an
appropriate text replacement for the image (e.g., alt="Man reading a book
in the park. Photo: Jean Dupond" or alt="Man reading a book in the park.
© Senses Studio). I was wondering if this was considered a good practice,
or if we should rather include it:
- as a title attribute's value?
- in the main body of the page?
- as an image caption?

Thanks in advance for your comments! Any insights on this would be highly
welcomed.

Best,

Silvia
