Solution for 9 April cryptic crossword clue



Picture producer, one leaving America in disguise (6)
Solution -  camera

America in disguise” means that there is an anagram of “America” but it’s complicated because the solution is 6 letters and “America” has 7.  Then I noticed the “one leaving” bit – once you figure out that “one” stands for “I” then the solution becomes clearer.  But “one” in other clues can also mean the letter “a”.
