The present disclosure relates to face recognition apparatus and method capable of increasing a rate of face recognition using artificial intelligence by changing a captured image or video in contrast value in a dynamic manner. An operational method of a face recognition electronic apparatus using an artificial neural network may include: receiving from an ISP an image processed based on a set contrast parameter; detecting a facial image from the image; determining match probability values between the detected facial image with a plurality of facial images; determining whether or not a subject matching with the detected facial image is present on the basis of the match probability values; and if not, changing the contrast parameter. Accordingly, the face recognition performance can be improved by correcting an image in contrast that provides the best face recognition capability for each image when identifying a subject of a facial image by using artificial intelligence.
