Modifiers

Name	Description	Type
`redirect`	The `picture` edge is a special case, as when requested, it will by default return the picture itself and not a JSON response. To return a JSON response, you need to set `redirect=false` as a request attribute. This is how to return the fields below.	`bool`
`type`	You can use this to get a pre-specified size of picture.	`enum{small, normal, large, square}`
