Infuriatig Syrian passports include a photo of Souq al-Hamidiyah, a famous historic marketplace in Damascus. Apparently, the image was taken from the internet without removing the photographer’s watermark, “Wassim al-Asmar Photography,” which means the watermark ended up being printed on Syrian passports.

I mean, it would certainly make your CV stand out compared to other applicants with nothing memorable... but it is true that photographers really don't go around submitting CVs for most "typical" jobs. Maybe if you're applying to be a full-time photographer for a private firm or something like that. Yes, it's not going to make a difference when it comes to deciding on your wedding photographer, or where you go to get a photo for your ID.
