'Zaidi's' is amongst one of the best photographers in Karachi they are located at Tariq road next to Jheel park enterance. 'Dossani' is another option, they are located at Boat Basin clifton next to Roll Inn/Flamingo. Both of these studios are famous for Visa photpgraphs (UK and USA).

BTW you are not supposed to add your photograph to offical resume unless stated specifically by employer otherwise you would end up getting discriminated for your looks (but if you are really handsome then that won't be a problem).

[MENTION=5101]alamode[/MENTION]: according to basic HR rules (as followed in US/UK) an employer is not allowed to ask your race, religion, ethnic background, sexual orientation and any personal information. Regarding photographs, unless it is specifically required you should not submit your photos. That is why you see good organizations conduct a series of tests and exams before moving to the actual interview part.

In Pakistan however, its COMPLETELY different.

I'm was recently conducting interviews for summer internees and let me tell you; I was specifically told to question candidates about their religion, race, who did they vote for, where do they live, what was their net household income, family members, etc etc... twenty questions and almost ALL illegal if you talk about HR rules. You just gotta roll with it....

I need it mostly for linkedin purposes.. and also for applications etc. I dont attach pictures on my CV unless specifically asked to do so..

Search LinkedIn and see the most accomplished people and their picture styles.

I would thoroughly advise against a very serious professional picture on linkedin. Keep it semi formal.

As far as CV Pictures go, it's a gamble. Some employers prefer pictures on the CV but it's in all honesty to creat bias. Judging people on looks. I usually keep my picture on my CV but only do that if you're good looking. Cash in on positive bias and eliminate negative bias.

I've been on a long hiatus from the forum and i think it's time i made a return.

I'll post a CV Making thread soon.
