Keith Alverson was born in Atlanta, Georgia on May 3, 1952. Keith first heard Elvis on the radio when he was 4 years old, and convinced his mother to take him to the department store to purchase that song -- "Hound Dog". Keith grew up in a home full of Elvis fans, for not only was Keith an Elvis fan, but so were his parents and brother. Today, Keith is lucky that his wife, Marsha, is also a big Elvis fan.

Originally, Keith began photographing Elvis for his own personal reasons, and for his collection. According to Keith, "I didn't have a decent camera and, needless to say, my first photos of Elvis were pretty bad." Soon, Keith would purchase his first "good camera", a Minolta 101, and began studing photography.

Keith would take his first professional photos of Elvis in concert in Atlanta on July 3, 1973. Originally, Keith did not have tickets for this show, but as fate would have it, someone approached Keith outside the Omni Auditorium where Elvis was performing, and gave him 10th row tickets for the show. As Keith would later discover, the tickets were originally held for a "special guest" who didn't make the concert, so the tickets were given to Keith. And, just like that...Keith was on his way!

Keith would eventually see Elvis approximately 85 times in concert during the 1970's. According to Keith, Elvis' appearances in Las Vegas were much more relaxed than on tour. However, due to what Keith describes as a "ridiculous restriction" of not being able to take photographs in the Las Vegas Showroom, Keith was never able to take any photos of Elvis while performing there. Nevertheless, Keith managed to capture some magnificent photos of The King on tour across America!

Although Keith never had the opportunity to meet Elvis personally, he did manage to shake Elvis' hand a few times as well as capture some rare and candid shots of Elvis, which he now happily shares with Elvis fans, along with his FANTASTIC concert shots!

Today, Keith is still very active in the "Elvis World", traveling worldwide to meet Elvis fans and share some of his stories and photos. Keith has also recently released his very first photo book, "On Stage", which displays some of his most breathtaking photos of Elvis in concert.
