The attribution does, assuming it identifies the subject..

Hence

Mariette Pathy Allen's Credibility:

Allen is a highly respected and pioneering photographer known for her extensive documentation of the transgender and gender-variant communities over nearly five decades. Her work is in the permanent collections of major museums like the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and her archives are held at Duke University. She is a credible and authoritative documentary photographer.

The Photograph:

The specific photograph of Roy Cohn and Donald Trump at a social event (likely a party at Le Club in June 1979, per Getty Images metadata for similar photos) is a genuine historical document of their association. The documentary used many archival photos and footage from Cohn's personal collection to build its narrative.
