If a job ad doesn't explicity ask for a photograph or even a birth date it doesn't hurt to omit it. Maybe even go as far as lie about your age on an application? Switzerland does NOT have a law against discrimination (yay) but there is a equal opportunities law, which won't come in handy unless it's a gender based decision.

Also, obligatory IANAL.

I removed my birthdate from my CV, but I'm usually asked my age during the first (often also the last) interview round.
