If you want to be treated as a professional, you need to look the part. This is the most basic marketing thing you can do and to not have a professional photo taken shows that you are not serious about your career.

  Remind me again that I need to update my photo, please.

  Previous was a photo studio, cost $80

 Current is photoshopped out of a picture taken somewhere.

In my entire life, I've never done a selfie. A selfie has no business being in a business photograph.
