Addition info on Sean Shaver for the fans:

As a freelance photographer, Sean Shaver covered Elvis at concerts and public appearances on a full-time basis from 1967 to 1977. 

Sean first started putting out books of his famous photographs back in 1972. He did one book each year from then until 1987, a total of 15. 

All of his books were privately published and never really made available to the public. "My books are for the fans, " he always said. He was never really interested in going public. Several times publishers tried to coax him into letting them put out his books but he wouldn't turn over his photographs to what he called "outsiders." Once a book was published there usually wasn't a second printing. You had one chance to get one of his books and most sold out within days or weeks. Only a few copies of his books were found in his personal collection.

During the years Elvis was with us not too many people knew Sean and what he was doing. Only a few fortunate diehard fans were lucky enough to know him back then. From around 1967 onward he sold and gave away photographs of Elvis to fans. But it was only after the publication of his first hardback book The Life of Elvis Presley that he became fairly well known. After that, he would sometimes tour with the Elvis conventions and meet fans and show his actual photographs to fans and the public. He always enjoyed meeting with fans. Once when he was worn-out after a full 12-hour day of signing books and posing for photos he was asked if he didn't get tired of it. His answer was classic Sean. "These people are Elvis fans, they loved Elvis and Elvis loved them. I love them too....
