Ram Soffer and Moshe Slav's book, mentioned in the previous post, also has this informal but nice picture of Boris Gelfand from the world championship match against Anand (p. 341)

Boris Gelfand. Source: Ram Sofer and Moshe Slav, Parashim Be'kachol Lavan [Knights in Blue and White], p. 75.
Above is a picture of Gelfand in a fashionable hat, Russian world cup, 2009. Sofer and Slav also note (same page) that this qualified him to the candidates' matches for the world championship, but that he noted he never knew during those matches if he would actually win them. As is well known, he did, and indeed played a match for the world championship against Anand.
