Please note that our policy usually considers fair use images of living people that merely show what they look like to be replaceable by free-licensed images and unsuitable for the project. If this is not the case for this image, a rationale should be provided proving that the image provides information well beyond simple identification or showing that this image is exceptionally difficult to replace by a free-licensed equivalent.
