We're looking for photos from ALL of Elvis' photo shoot sessions - you can see the listings for what we have on the site, there's photos from essentially every single photo session for each movie and the stuff in-between (the "publicity photo shoots").

--> http://elvicities.com/~epss/

What comes to the actual photos, we try to put up shots that are as uncropped/complete as possible and of course in as good quality as possible. Sometimes we have to take a lesser quality more uncropped shot of a specific photo over a better quality but more cropped version. The size of the photos is not super important, they don't have to be massive - the site is more for reference at this stage than a place where you can find everything in best possible quality. And we try to avoid having doubles in as it would just make it look like a mess, we try to keep the site at least somewhat 'clean' looking.

You can post any photos you wish either on this topic or send us an email through the "credits" section on our site. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you for the info! I'll share what I have through e-mail.

There's just one thing that you can do...

Shame it's so cropped indeed... looks like pretty amazing quality!

A small update; EPSS is going through some updates, just small things that are partly already done and some that may become visible in a day or two, and some that may become visible in few weeks time once we sort things out. We've been adding a bunch of new photos in the Love Me Tender folder, the "black shirt shoot" in particular... and a few in folders like Kid Galahad, Roustabout and IHATWF, new ones and upgrades.

The upcoming EPE/Graceland auction catalog features a neat unseen item - a very cool Jailhouse Rock "movie premiere program" and that particular program has two photos from the Jailhouse Rock photo shoot we've personally never seen anywhere. It's always nice to see there's yet more to find... now all we need is to find the photos in their original form.

Here's the link to the auction lot;

And here's the photo shoot, the above "program photos" belong to the first set of shots listed here.

Last year in august 2016 it was at the auction as well: http://auction.graceland.com/1957__em_jailhouse_rock__em__movie_premiere_progra-lot678.aspx

Can't remember ever seeing the original photos.

Hey, today I was visiting your wonderful website and noticed there is no link for Paramount's "Easy Come, Easy Go."

https://elvicities.com/~epss/

It was Elvis' final film for Hal Wallis.

Did you remove it?

Could the reason be that there was no official photo-session for the film? Just guessing though.

Wow, that's an interesting suggestion.

I don't believe I've ever seen a portrait session photo from this project. Could Paramount have been so callous as to just skip the process, as they knew they were dropping Presley after 10 years together?

Or did the singer just refuse to sit for the photographer? He hated doing movie portrait sessions, they were long and very boring. Sadly, he was really trim for the cameras in October 1966. He looked great.

Hmm. The site should at least put up a page anyway, explaining this project is a mystery regarding portrait photos.

They could at least use these on-set shots, made for theater lobby cards and general PR:
