About Patrick
Expertise
I am happy to answer any questions about Elvis`s life and death, which I have specifically researched quite a bit. I would prefer not to answer questions about sales figures, chart positions, or other simple statistical data (including trivia questions).

Experience
I have consulted for two televisions programs (Rock-and-Roll Record Breakers on VH-1 and The Presley Family on The Family Channel), and I was previously the top-rated Elvis Presley expert at AllExperts.com (several years ago). I have researched many aspects of Elvis's life and death and am very well-read in these topics.

Presley, Elvis - Pictures of Elvis casket


Expert: Patrick - 9/18/2009

Question
Hi Patrick,

We all have seen the picture of Elvis in his casket but I would like to know how many pictures were taken by the photographer.

I also would like to know if the picture we all know has been modified ( zoomed in etc...)?

Regards,
Yvan  

Answer
Yvan-

Thanks for writing.

You would have to ask the photographer how many photos he took...only he knows.

I believe the photos we have seen have been manipulated in some way, as there are obvious differences between photos.  Zooming in on an image would not be considered modification, since the image itself is not altered; it's just a closer perspective.

Assuming there are multiple images out there, and assuming at least one of these images has been altered, we could not determine the number of photos even if the photographer stated a specific number, since the altered images confuses the question of how many distinct images were originally produced.

Hope this answers your question.
Patrick
