Is it possible at all to find out a name of a person just by a photo?

I have a photo of a man who appears to be either a model or an actor, but I don't know his name. Is it possible at all to find out his name by the photos I have?

I don't know if the photo or photos are in your computer or not. However, if it/they are and you have a Windows operating system, then you might try right-clicking on one of the photos and then left-clicking on Properties to see what information there might be.

Really? And, how are you so sure that you would be able to do that, please?

So HOW, there is no way to tell unless you just happen to know the person,

but again why do you want to know?

You can do the following, contact the place the photo was at, and ask them what advertising group or what marketing group put the photo there. You then contact them and see if there is contact info for them, or contact them though the advertising agency

you cant find it ,unless you have the right sources, for example you should know from where did you find that picture. because as i remember that i founda picture and card belonging to someone in a library book and it was almost 20 or 30 years old. i still have it with me in some of my old books . so may be this way yu can also find that man or model, whoever he is .

may be you can consult friends and people by showing it to them,or also sending it to people online.
you will be able to find some information about the subject by searching links from where you yourself got that picture.
