Do you mean no people at all, or no people identified as face names by Photos?


If the latter, I can get close to it. I have some Keywords that I use to eliminate identified faces that are not people I know or have named. These include StrangersOnly and StrangersInc[luded], which identify pictures that include identified faces that I have not named.


If you put these into a Smart Album like this (where the third condition is empty):


You get an album that contains no identified people. It still contains pictures that include people but nothing that Photos has identified as a face, so its mainly without people at all.
