May 13, 2015 9:15 AM in response to James Knightby léonie,CChanging the .plist file worked in iPhoto, because Aperture and iPhoto are using the same libraries. And iphoto needed to respect the face detection settings in Aperture. But Photos libraries are not shared with Aperture, so I doubt it will work with Photos.
photos's Preferences files are in the user library in the folder Containers, deeply nested in the folder com.apple.photos or similar. sorry, Icannot check the exact name on my iPad.

May 13, 2015 9:20 AM in response to James Knightby Glenn Leblanc,Those files will be located in the Containers folder. However, I'm not sure it's a good idea to mess with the files there. If you can figure out which is the right one, do so at your own risk.
If you don't want to use Faces, delete all the faces within the album. If that is actually where the files are stored and deleting reduces the file size, lock that folder so it can't be modified. I don't know if that will cause error though.

May 13, 2015 9:33 AM in response to Nielby James Knight,Thanks, Niel! i will take a look with my xCode property list editor, but I suspect the record will have a different name other than FaceDetectionEnabled.

May 13, 2015 9:59 AM in response to Glenn Leblancby James Knight,There is a faces.autoVIPs boolean record set to True, but I am not certain this is the record, so I am not changing it. There are no other records with FaceDetectionEnabled like in the iPhoto plist, as I suspected.

Were you able to disable Face Recognition? I can't find the faces.autoVIPs boolean record, any help would be appreciated. I have same problem as your client.
