Q: can a person shows a picture of some one sleeping in bed by him self prove adultery
A:
A party can prove adultery like most facts using circumstantial evidence.
A photograph of a person sleeping in a bed other than where he normally sleeps can be a relevant piece of circumstantial evidence. While not necessarily dispositive, it can be weighed along with other evidence by the trier of fact on the question of whether he committed adultery.

A: Yes, but California is a no-fault state. So it won't get you any more money or a better division of your marital assets.

A:
In California, showing a picture of someone sleeping alone in bed might not be sufficient on its own to prove adultery. Adultery typically requires evidence of a married person engaging in sexual relations with someone other than their spouse. While the photo might raise suspicion, it may not definitively establish adultery without additional corroborating evidence.
