Lol I can kinda relate to this differently. I was on all kinds of weird tactical teams in the military and with the Fed over decades but I have absolutely 0 cool pictures of me kitted out doing cool guy stuff because they just never did pics whenever I was around.

Teams would do entire photo shoots like a month after I got out.

Most recently I graduated an academy that has a tradition of doing high speed stuff pics of the graduating class. But the team lead that was supposed to organize that and his butt buddy were like fake special forces guys that liked pretending it was a way bigger deal than it actually was. So they acted like they can't appear in any photos or their lives/families would be in danger. If you've ever seen a documentary of some special forces guys and some guys faces are always blurred in it, they were acting like they were those guys. They aren't, they've literally never been on a mission and have nothing to need to protect their identity about. In any case instead of arranging the pics and just not being in them then just didn't do it. So my graduating class was the only one on decades not to have a set of pics.

In the private sector I do executive protection and professional headshots are often expected for principals. I've never taken the time/money to get some done but I have worked for several companies that sent me to get headshots done. None of the ones that did would ever let agents have copies, of their own headshots, because they don't want agents using the headshots the company paid for to get other jobs elsewhere.

I have zero good professional pics of myself in my own possession. Of all the crazy shit I've done I have zero photographic evidence of any of it ever having happened. All my buddies that did the same shit on the same teams have albums of professional photography of themselves doing what they do. That shit just all finds a way of happening around me as I pass through life and never with me. It's wild. 

I have my resume, and it's verifiable. But I have absolutely nothing to show anyone casually if they ask what I've done, or I mention past jobs, there that's what I did. I must look like stolen valor lolol
