Except you don't do that unless you're talking about the person in the present context and comparing to the old one. Getting a pilots license or some other certification doesn't make you always have had been that. A picture of a three year old playing with blocks is not a picture of a pilot, even if twenty years later they would get a pilot's license. But it might be a picture of Bob, who later on would become a pilot.
QED the pilot thing was probably a bad example I won't use again.
How about this, if someone changed their name and you saw a picture of them from before that update... Maybe a baby pic let's say, what name would you use when identifying the person in the picture?
