In Photos for Mac you can display the titles below the thumbnail of a photo. See this user tip: How to view the titles or filenames below… - Apple Community
If you want to see more metadata below the thumbnails, get yourself the free trial version of PowerPhotos. It is a very versatile toolbox as a companion to Photos. The free trial lets you view two lines of metadata below the thumbnails of photos. You can view your Photos Library in a second window, either as thumbnails or table with the metadata in colums and sort the columns. https://www.fatcatsoftware.com/powerphotos/
In Photos for Mac you could use the workaround to print selected photos to PDF, using the spread-sheet layout.
