If you mean by IT the 3 of them together I don't believe there is such a photo unless you mean a photo of the actors. I'm pretty sure the 3 real life people never met until the ambush. Photos of the pair or them as individuals are found lots of places if you search for them. Here are two of them

That bit was fiction, probably designed to give Hamer motivation for tracking down Bonnie and Clyde later in the film. Since enforcing the law apparently isn't sufficient.

Thanks to lmclean for the pictures.

Frank Hamer didn't "meet" Bonnie and Clyde until the ambush. This movie is probably 90% bull crap. They had FBI agent Charles Winstead helping them out for a while (he was one of the people who shot John Dillinger at the Biograph theater). After Hamer and his posse gunned down Bonnie and Clyde, he offered to aide the FBI in capturing Dillinger.

If you believe in Jesus Christ and are 120% proud of it, put this as your signature.

I think Hamer may have actually known Bonnie,I remember hearing that somewhere,perhaps the History Channel,but that scene where they captured him never happened.

You're thinking of Ted Hinton, who indeed knew both Bonnie and Clyde. Hinton was the same age as Buck and knew the Barrow family in his youth. Later, he also became acquainted with Bonnie, when she worked as a waitress. He was a constant customer and later admitted to having a crush on her. In a twist of fate, he became part of the six-man posse that would eventually track down Bonnie and Clyde.

Hinton was a prominent figure in the 1992 TV movie Bonnie and Clyde: The True Story, in which his friendship with the Barrow boys and his flirtations with Bonnie are fleshed out, as well as his inner conflict regarding his role in their demise.

Hinton also was a major role in the 2012 Broadway musical Bonnie and Clyde by Frank Wildhorn, though that play took a lot of liberties with the story, more so than this movie. For example, Frank Hamer is totally eliminated, with Hinton's characterization being a composite of himself and Hamer. The rest of the accomplices are also done away with, so it's just Bonnie, Clyde, Buck, and Blanche.
