It shows the left hander, who provided the spark to get his side home with 27 runs off 11 balls in an innings of pure power and, just as significantly, nervelessness, still sitting in his folding chair alone with his thoughts, a study in isolation and a whole lot more besides.
Neesham will probably always carry the scars of the ODI World Cup final at Lord's in 2019. The events which led to the tie and the countback which gave the trophy to England left many of the Black Caps' most ardent supporters in a state approaching emotional agony, and one that couldn't be quickly shaken off, so one can only wonder at the pain it left Neesham and his teammates in.
Actually, the man himself made it pretty clear in his own unique way. "Kids," he wrote on Twitter shortly afterwards, "don't take up sport. Take up baking or something. Die at 60 really fat and happy."
And while many of Neesham's teammates may have received a certain amount of closure with their world test series victory over India in Southampton this year, the two men fated to face that super over in London two years prior, Neesham and Martin Guptill - both linked also via the crucial overthrows incident which led to it (via an umpire's mistake) - weren't involved.
Both are key figures in this Black Caps team and both bring a desperation borne of that anguish suffered in 2019. How much does sporting disappointment play in subsequent sporting success at the top level where margins between teams are so tight?
Ask former All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, who saw his side find redemption in the 2011 World Cup final at Eden Park by digging to new physical and emotional depths after the shock of four years prior in Cardiff.
That pain stiffened the All Blacks' resolve like nothing else could and something similar could be seen in England's performance in beating Hansen's men at the 2019 World Cup semifinal in Japan.
"They were a team that, coming into this tournament, and the last four years, had a massive amount of pain, having the adversity of not making the quarter-finals of their own tournament [in 2015]," Hansen said in Tokyo a day after England's victory. "They've been working their butts off probably more so than any other England team in history."
One of this Black Caps' team's great strengths is their fielding ability; a quality which requires flawless technique along with a single-minded determination to make catches and prevent boundaries – often when initially faced with apparently lost causes.
It is a small window into their psyche because the former can be taught and improved through practice but the mindset cannot; and this team's mentality, its refusal to be overawed on the big stage and the players' utter commitment, is what sets it apart.
We'll never know, but one wonders whether it would be at the same level had they known nothing but success over the past three years or so. Would they have, as Hansen said a couple of years ago, been "working their butts off" to the same extent?
Neesham's attitude following a dramatic and history-making victory (the Black Caps scored 57 runs in the final four overs, the most by a men's team at the death in a T20 international, according to Cricinfo), would suggest not.
To get back to that revealing photo from earlier, not everyone is on his feet celebrating. Skipper Kane Williamson is also seated but he's not stony faced; he's wearing a grin reminiscent of a fox who has recently relieved a chicken coop of its inhabitants, a reminder perhaps that there's guile and cunning in this team along with grit and determination.
