There are some obvious advantages of using a photo in your resume, too:
A photo might help you build more personal relationships with your customer, showing a real person behind all the credentials, as Dmytro Rachek so beautifully put it.
It helps to prevent identity theft
Some agencies actually recommend doing it (although, it looks like they are in the minority, but still)
As for me, the updated version of my CV does include a photo. Since there is no one opinion on this issue even in the UK, I decided to give it a try (I will obviously prepare a CV without a photo when I apply to agencies who have definitely spoken against including a picture, though). I also share the opinion that it might help you build better, more personal relationships with your prospects. And since not many translators seem to do it, it’s a good way to get noticed.
