I say 'may', because a digitally altered photo may be reversible, or at least the lines and geometry may be too similar to the original and possess the same information regardless of the transformation. So the only true solution would be a hand drawn portrait or image... but not 'too good' :) | |

| Nov 4, 2016 at 4:21 | comment | added | Ed on PCR | Okay, so I guess that I am confused. It seems that using Photoshop to alter a photograph to make the person recognizable by a human but not a machine seems to be a legitimate photography question, but dressing up so you don't look like yourself seems to be a bit off-topic for photography. I have used @AlanMarcus recommendation to make my FB photo more interesting, but it certainly hid my identity as well - at least from facial recognition. | |

| Oct 31, 2016 at 22:35 | comment | added | Harry Harrison | @AlanMarcus no one said the question wasn't about photography, it was the answers relevance I was referring to. 55 years experience with taking headshots for social media?! Or just trying to feel superior by quoting numbers? | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 22:21 | comment | added | Alan Marcus | Pushing 80 with more than 55 years in the business, I declare this is a legitimate photographic question. | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 20:23 | comment | added | user58446 | As the OP, I hope I don't get flak for this but I really liked this suggestion even though it is a non-photography option, (although they did mention using a photo and converting it to a sketch), and would be sad if I hadn't come across it. Guess you could argue for it being a comment instead. | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 16:09 | comment | added | Harry Harrison | Given that this is a photography Q&A - this answer is borderline off-topic, and doesn't really address the original question. | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 15:46 | comment | added | Crazy Dino | The original question said: 'As mentioned above, this may be used professionally, so one of the most important aspects of a suitable answer is that the photo not be perceived as strange, weird, odd, crazy, unprofessional, etc.' Although your answer came to a similar conclusion I had I don't think it answers the question. | |
