Facial recognition means all pictures with a face are personal data?

No clue. All I did was rule out anything that can't be used to identify someone.

Whether information that can only be used to identify someone but doesn't tell you anything useful about them is still personal data is unclear to me.

If in doubt, a picture tells you medical information.
