The late, great photographer, Al Wertheimer, had an incredible career with over 40,000 negatives of incredible photographs of the likes of Eleanor Roosevelt, Paul Anka, and Nina Simone but one icon became his most extraordinary subject, The King himself, #ElvisPresley.
In this excerpt from Vinyl Foote’s first doc ‘Altered By Elvis’, Al shares the true story behind his famous Elvis Presley “The Kiss” photograph. The photo was considered to be the “hottest picture ever taken” by Diane Keaton, featured in Dolce & Gabbana collections, and became an immovable part of Elvis history and fandom. Enjoy this #lookbehindthelook x
