I would like to prove that this photo is not of the person who sent it to me..thanks!

Answer 1

That would be kinda hard.

You can try looking for EXIF data if it's a JPEG. A lot of digital cameras now write stuff such as date, time, camera model, adn such into EXIF data inside the JPEGs they write. It may help you ID the origin of the picture.

Otherwise, you can try searching for this image on Google Image search or something if it's not too generic.
