I'm not in HR, but have previously heard that it's a tremendously bad idea to put a picture on a resume. The advice was all predicated on HR departments being extremely risk-adverse when it comes to discrimination claims.
A picture of someone pretty much immediately reveals age, sex, race, and could easily reveal religion (think a muslim or sikh) and disability status. Which pretty much covers the list of things you're not allowed to discriminate against.

If you look better, you can see that picture are not mandatory.
