Europe and Asia generally require photographs, America generally requires no photographs.

It’s more granular than just ‘Europe’. Having a picture would be pretty weird in Ireland, say.

In the UK, too. I've heard lawyers advising a policy of blanket-discarding CVs with attached photos to avoid any possibility of discrimination during screening stages (though I don't know whether this is because of a specific law or just their judgement regarding minimising risk).
