Interesting idea, this.

One little suggestion would be that if you select multiple values in
one category that they should be or'ed rather than and'ed.  If you
select two people, most likely you're interested in photos with either
person rather than only photos with both.

Also, why export it to JSON, rather than just use the XML that already
exists?
