MS gave you some good specs, but your photo should be in color. In addition, the ears should be plainly visible.

So? Then take some pictures. Are you asking if this requirement is legit? If all the requirements were as easy as this, then visa application would be a breeze. Maybe the reason he gave when he applied was to go on a vacation to (place). They think, he is looking for work. So they gave this condition. Even if he really did some job hunting on the side, he will have to comply with the picture requirement if he wants to come back.

The applicant should not look down or to either side, and the face should cover about 50 percent of the photo area.
Side or angled views are NOT accepted.
Lighting should be such that there are no distracting shadows on the face or background
The photograph may be in color or black and white, but must have only a white or off-white background. Photos with dark, busy, or patterned backgrounds will not be accepted.
In general, the applicant's head, including both face and hair, should be shown from the crown of the head to the tip of the chin on top and bottom and from hairline side-to-side. It is preferable that ears be exposed.
Head coverings and hats are only acceptable due to religious beliefs, and even then, may not cover any portion of the applicant's face.
