Assuming this in America, I love how illegal this request is.
I’ve been asked illegal questions, like “what is your current salary” in job applications before. I like to respond by calling it out and leaving a link to a source. I’ve never gotten a response from those applications though…
That’s illegal? The income question was on every single application I filled out when I was younger. When did it become illegal?
It is in CA, which is where both I and the company I was applying for were based at the time
“How much money are you looking for in this role” is very common. “How much are you making right now” is not allowed.

Ok, where is said source?

It’s the perfect crime. Most people don’t realize it’s illegal and those that do either don’t have the resources to fight it or don’t want the exposure.
Right to Work State, baby! We can do whatever we want good luck getting the Federalist Society Judge who fields your case to agree anything untoward happened.
My job application will demand a pair of your used underwear for me to evaluate with my nostrils and you will do it or you will not get the job.
Time to pick a random minority one can pass as, record the most stereotypical video ever, and then get an employment attorney on speed dial
Nobody’s going to take that case unless you have enough money to fund this as a vanity project. The conservative stacked courts will dismiss it out of hand and you’ll be fighting your way uphill through a sea of increasingly hostile appellates.
You’d have better luck posting this shit to social media and trying to name/shame the business at hand. But even that is likely a dead-end, given how inundated with corporate flaks and civility police the modern social media ecosystem has become.
I couldn’t find any legal cases about “uploading an image or video of yourself”. But Google is awful so getting any sort of results is a massive pain. That doesn’t mean a case exists but employers do discriminate based on applicant names. Uploading an image would allow employers to filter out people they don’t want to hire based on income, disability, race, etc. That’s what’s illegal. Unfortunately, American laws related to technology are nonexistent.
