Your photos are great and deserve to be taken seriously. “ Frank Miller Photography”, or Frank Miller Nature Photography. Your original name sounds best and broadens your canvas, and second name lets everyone know your subject matter. But both pin your name to your art.

As much as I liked Jesse's Wilderness Photography, I'm going to be #4 to suggest including your name in some way to add credibility and recognition.
Perhaps Miller's Wilderness Photography.
Good luck!

Here's my suggestion:
Go to ChatGPT AI, say something like Recommend a list of business names for a photography business based on the following attributes: I specialize taking scenic pictures of bears in Alaska, abandoned old cabins, one legged dwarf porn, etc.
Just enter your own personal attributes or feel free to copy and paste my example.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Northern Exposure would have been great had it not been already taken about a million times.
Maybe "Northern Light Photography"? Found no such existing business with that name, although there could be. The domain name is not taken, however. EDIT: drat, found a Facebook with that name.
BTW, your work is outstanding. Good luck with your decision.

The first photo tells you.
Naked Bear Photos
-- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is.
I live in a resort town with many high dollar art galleries that sell to tourists and property owners. Those owned by the artist always include the artist's name in the business name. The art itself always carries the artist's name even on photographs. And then on the back of framed art there is a label with the artist's name and additional information.
I think that shows how important having your name attached to your art is. Not some cute play on words or a place name.
Appending something would be fine, such as "Frank Smith Alaska Photography".

To be perfectly honest, seeing "Frank Miller Photography" makes me want to check out your work. Seems straightforward and honest, no need to be clever.
If the name is for a gallery, I would go with some cutesy name. For your own photographies, I would add my voice with going with your name. Identifying your works with your name is important as an artist as explained in an earlier post.
