LR Classic + Face ID : how to move taggued photos

Question

Hello all,I have 1.000 photos which I taggued with the names of the right persons.Now I would like to wheather move or duplicate each series of photos of a person to a folder of her name so that I will end with dozens of folders and no more bulk photo, but I mean a real folders that I can use in the folder manager, not virtual folders or collection usable only in Lightroom ...Could you please tell me how to do so, please ?Thank you very much.Nice day to all.

I'm not sure that "real folders" by person's name is a superior choice to having keywords. In fact, I think there are disadvantages, specifically a lot of manual work will be required (and don't make a mistake). Another disadvantage is that I never think it is a good idea to create folder organization once the photos are imported into LrC, you are working against the design of LrC and this leads to inefficiency and possible frustration.

I'm not aware of an easy or automated way to create these folders by keyword. You would have to do this one keyword at a time.

What is the potential usage of these photos once they are in the folders outside of Lightroom Classic? Perhaps if we knew that we could suggest a better way.
