ITT: Author photos

Say you were in a position where your publishers were asking you to have a proffesional photo taken for your online profile and also to be included in your book, how would you pose?

Doesn't the idea of having your photo taken make you extremely anxious?

It's like you're consciously portraying yourself in a way that you know and the reader knows and the reader knows you know the reader knows is ultimately false but which makes you look interesting or deep.
