In the above photo, Lori-Anne Crewe, of LA Photography, captured the anticipation and anxiousness that each of the top ten ETAs was experiencing as they waited for their names to be called for the top five finale at the Niagara Falls Elvis Festival in 2018. Each tribute artist handled the stress of the moment in their own special way: Richard chatted with Bruno; Taylor chatted with Cote; Joey looked left, James looked right, and Norm looked down at the stage. Sylvain and Mike kept their focus on emcee Victor J. And Patrick, first in line on stage right and dressed in his street clothes, was all smiles. He had packed his jumpsuit and was minutes away from leaving when his name was called for the top ten.
As we look forward to this year’s Niagara Falls Elvis Festival weekend, which is guaranteed to be filled with thrilling competitions and shows, I invite you to enjoy a visual feast of the 2018 NFEF courtesy of professional photographer Lori-Anne Crewe. Lori-Anne’s magnificent photos are not for sale to the general public, but any ETA who wishes to purchase their photos may do so by contacting Lori-Anne at lacrewe@gmail.com.
Thank you, Lori-Anne, for your dedication, artistry and skill in capturing emotion as well as beauty with your camera; and most of all, thank you for sharing your gift with SIDEBURNS Magazine readers. You are rockin’ awesome!
