Uniform portraits?

Maybe that's an idea - I am just imagining Brandon in firefighter uniform,
James Forrester in the uniform of a Beefeater guarding the Tower of London,
and the whole of Legal in Special Forces cammo led by Geoff carrying a
pearl-handled Colt and chomping on a cigar.

Make it so!
This is all a style/composition question -

Do we want to aim for uniform portraits on the staff page or not?
