William Branham claimed that during the meeting in which his signature photo was taken in the Houston Coliseum, not a single photograph developed except for his. This, he claimed, was because God would not allow the public to view what he claimed to be disrespectful poses by Rev. Best towards Rev. F. F. Bosworth. According to Branham, the rest of the photographs were blank.
Photographs did develop, however, and were printed in the newspapers.

And so that he could ha… show the people what he looked like while he was holding the debate with my manager. My… At that same time, God came down. And when he taken my picture, all the other man's pictures was blank, every one of them. And here, when this was taken, here was the Angel of God standing there.
