Suppose I am looking at a picture of a person that I don't know of and I say "I think he would be a nice person.". Is my sentence with would correct?

It's not impossible, but much more usual in that situation would be "He looks like a nice person" (assuming you are basing your judgement on his appearance in the photograph).

Is that like saying, "I think he would be lazy if he were a employee."?
