Getting more from these captions

Make it watermark-friendly
Your handle may appear on every frame. Check it at small size in a corner of a bright photo.
Do not name a specific camera or kit
Gear changes. A handle about light and moments will outlast any lens.
Free-check and look-alike check
Search the handle in the app and the web. Clients often hire the first photographer they find, so avoid a name close to someone else.

Questions

Should a photographer use their own name?

Yes, it is the easiest way for clients to find you. You can add a word such as photo or frames to make it clear.

Can I use a location in the handle?

It helps local bookings, but limits you if you move or travel. Use it only if you will stay put.

Do periods look better than underscores?

Most people find periods cleaner for a professional handle. Both are valid.
