Taking a very personal view of what would become one of the most famous musicians across the globe, the 400 odd intimate pictures on show in the Elvis at 21 photo exhibition are some of the most esteemed images in existence.

Alfred Wertheimer
The man behind the lens of the Elvis at 21 photo exhibition is the internationally known photographer, Alfred Wertheimer. Wertheimer was hired to take the classic headshots of Elvis Presley for his record company, and had never heard of the singer at the time. Hired for one day, and staying for several months, the photojournalist began to build a portfolio of photos that captured the unguarded and more everyday moments in singer's life.

Elvis photos
Captured with his fans, before and after his concerts, in the recording studio and in his own home with his family, the pictures of Elvis is the Elvis at 21 photo exhibition bring a unique perspective to the viewer of this world famous man. Intimate, frank and charismatic, the photos act as an image diary of the young man who would soon become the self crowned King of Rock n Roll at the tender age of 21.

The Elvis at 21 photo exhibition is open from 11am to 8pm Monday - Wednesday and Saturday, 11am to 10pm on Thursday, and 11am to 6pm on Sunday. Entrance to Proud Chelsea is free.
