How to add a person whose face is not shown

ok, so I have some photos where a person's face is not shown. Since their face is not shown, Photos Person recognition obviously would not be able to identify them. Although their faces are not shown, I would still like to tag the photo so that when I select the person, say "Kevin" in the People folder, that picture of Kevin (whose face is not shown) is included in the list of photos.


Is this possible in some way?


Thanks!

  1. Double-click a photo to open a photo.
  2. Click the Info button in the toolbar.
  3. Click the Add Faces button, drag the circle to position it over the face if necessary, click the Name field, type a name, then press Return.
