I strongly disagree. Unless you are an actor, an overproduced headshot is more likely to work against you. If you are hot shit, LinkedIn serves as nothing more than a way to keep in touch with your colleagues, who already know you are hot shit. If an employer doesn't know you or recognize anyone in your network, but sees a fake glamour shot like this, they are going to assume that you are a ridiculous person who cares more about image than quality of work.
If your network is small, highlight your projects and publications. If you don't have a network, personal projects, or papers published, focus on that rather than a glamour shot.
I mean I wouldn't pick this photo, but there are some that look very real that I've seen. Like I said, it's an option. Definitely wouldn't be my first option, but if I had nothing else, it could work if executed properly.
