The people in the picture may be [[ArchNemesis bitter enemies]] or [[TheRival rivals]], or even TheLostLenore or someone they loved [[HopelessSuitor and didn't get a chance with]], if romanctic feelings were there. Or it may just also show people who went their separate ways for whatever reason -- including being forced apart by outside circumstances. But for whatever reason they're apart, the picture will bring up sore feelings about why they aren't connected with their former friends anyore.

A picture (or video) of two or more characters who have been previously introduced as [[ArchNemesis bitter enemies]] or [[TheRival rivals]] shows them chilling out together back when they were young and, apparently, best of buds with each other. Also included are other types of recordings, such as video and audio tapes, and in the modern era, phone pictures or photos rather than printed ones. It may also show people who went their separate ways for whatever reason -- including being forced apart -- and might not be on opposite sides of a conflict or hate each other, but ''do'' have sore feelings about why they aren't friends like before.

A specific expression of WeUsedToBeFriends and, at times, of EvilFormerFriend. Also related to HappierHomeMovie, which is about a particular character's happy past rather than past relationships. PhotosLie is an inverse of this where the photo ''hides'' past enmity, rather than revealing past friendship. See also FamilyPortraitOfCharacterization.

* ''ComicBook/EmmieAndFriends'': Not always photos. In ''Positively Izzy'' there's one that rips as Izzy talks about her former friends Hannah, Gabi, and Becca. In ''Just Jamie'' a picture of the four-girl group is shown when Jamie is wondering what changed to make her friends so mean now. In ''Remarkably Ruby'' there's many illustrations of Ruby and Mia as friends before Mia started to push Ruby away. In ''Surprisingly Sarah'' an illustration of one is shown when Sarah's talking about how her former friend Kerri Kowalski blew her off for the cool crowd right after starting middle school.

* Chapter five of ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners'' prominently features an [[http://typemoon.wikia.com/wiki/File:Touko_araya_alba_photo.png old photograph]] of Touko Aozaki (TheMentor to the good guys), [[spoiler:Cornelius Alba]], and [[spoiler:Souren Araya]] (the BigBadDuumvirate of the series) from back when they were working together at the Clock Tower. The three of them seem quite friendly on the photo for people who take every opportunity to murder each other in the story proper.

* In ''Film/RacingStripes''' RageAgainstTheMentor scene, Franny tells Stripes to "look closer" at a photograph hanging on the wall. Much to his surprise, Stripes recognizes its subjects as [[TheMentor Tucker]] beside egotistical champion Sir Trenton. Turns out, Tucker is far more experienced with racing than Stripes thought.
