Answer 1

There are many ways to do this.

Note: \llap does not automatically start a new paragraph, hence the \leavevmode. It may not be obvious, but the minipage is indented (by \parindent).

\documentclass{article}    
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\textwidth-\parindent}
\leavevmode\llap{\rotatebox{90}{\strut Bogus Name}}%
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}\par
\textsf{\Large\strut Example Image}\par
(from MWE package)
\end{minipage}
\end{document}

This is easier to set up:

\documentclass{article}    
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\noindent\begin{tabular}{r@{\hspace{2pt}}l}
\rotatebox{90}{Bogus Name} & \includegraphics[width=2in]{example-image}\\
 & \textsf{\Large Example Image}\\
 & (from MWE package)
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
