Currently, this photo is the headshot for Kees Boot: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0095614/mediaviewer/rm999344384. He isn't his usual self in this picture, as you might have guessed. So will a staffer please make it so that this photo still appears on his page, but not as his headshot? (and yes, I know that leaves him without a headshot, but I think that's still better than the current situation).

Are there image restrictions? When uploading images to an IMDb page, we don't allow the following:
  • Nudity
  • Profanity or obscene gestures
  • Any contact information (phone number, address, email, or website)
  • Age, height, weight info
  • Advertising for products or services
  • Text or images that infringe on the copyright, trademark, or patents of a third party
Your primary image must follow these guidelines:
  • Your face should be clearly visible in the image, and centered in the frame
  • The image must be in portrait orientation, and at least 1000 pixels wide
  • No watermarks or logos should be present on the image
  • The image should be just of you
Please note that content which falls outside of these guidelines may be edited or removed by our editors.

I don't see a problem with any of these. As long as it is him on the photo, it should stay active. It's certainly better than no headshot.

Besides:
"Users can suggest updates or report images which appear on your page. These requests are carefully vetted by IMDb data editors before publication."

This means that this was either uploaded by Mr. Boot himself or has been approved by imdb after another user uploaded it. No need for a change. Keep it.

I know of the guide lines, I'm just asking for an exception in this case, that's all.

Hi Marco,

Thanks for your post.

As mentioned by Horst, this headshot is within our guidelines and cannot be unset - we cannot make exceptions, doing so would create an unrealistic precedent.

Thanks for understanding.

Ok, fair enough. Thanks for the answer and explanation regarding the precedent.
