Author, journalist and hoaxster Clifford Irving, 1972

 * Reason:The picture is superficially unremarkable, yet the use of a narrow depth of field and the subtle contrast of light and shadow make it a tremendously expressive photograph. Coupled with its technical virtuosity, the haggard look of the subject—embroiled in a controversy of his own making, which could potentially ruin his career as well as his life—make the photograph even more expressive: Irving turning towards the darkness, away from the light.
 * Proposed caption:Clifford Irving at the time his Howard Hughes autobiography hoax was uncovered.
 * Articles this image appears in:Clifford Irving, Howard Hughes
 * Creator:creator of the image
