Today’s photoshoot with Adam was announced yesterday on Twitter by the photographer Christopher Ameruoso.
Christopher Ameruoso @chrisaphoto
Excited for my shoot tomorrow with @adamlambert for the Elvis tribute book Shades of Elvis Adams going to rock Elvis's glasses.
For this Elvis tribute book, many famous people are being photographed often wearing Elvis Presley's personally owned sunglasses.
About the book
Christopher Ameruoso is working on this book with Priscilla Presley. For several months he has been photographing many different celebrities wearing/interacting with a pair of Elvis's famous sunglasses provided by Priscilla Presley and Graceland. These photos will be published in a hard cover book that is planned for an August 2013 release, coinciding with Elvis week.
The book will be filled with about black and white photos of 80 different people with quotes from each person about Elvis.
Christopher wrote on his blog, “This began from an idea that I had over 9 years ago. After starting a relationship about a year ago with Priscilla Presley the project came to light. With my beautiful wife Daniela by my side we have been photographing people who have made a difference in their field as Elvis did. Many of you have been asking about the behind the scenes photos I have been posting from shoots and why many people are wearing glasses. This is why. It is such an amazing feeling to watch the expression and reaction to these talents when they first put on Elvis's glasses. … I am truly honored to be able to be part of keeping the legend Elvis Presleys' name alive with this book. I'm very proud of this work and I'm sure all the Elvis fans around the world will enjoy them as well. LONG LIVE THE KING!”

HE WILL ROCK YOU: ADAM LAMBERT + PITTSBURGH PRIDE!
by Rachel Jones
Leather and glitter and everything rock – this is what Adam Lambert is made of. He’s also a compassionate person who supports his fellow members in the LGBT community. Whether he’s inspiring others or just getting them out on the dance floor, Lambert is making a difference the best way he knows how: through his voice.
With his smoky eye makeup on and jet black hair spiked, the prominent pop star is ready to bring his fierce flavor to Pittsburgh Pride. Chris Bryan, director of marketing and development for the Delta Foundation, which is organizing this year’s Pittsburgh Pride celebration, says Lambert is the ideal performer to headline Pride in the Street. “We’re always looking for an entertainer who will appeal to a broad audience, and we think Adam Lambert is the perfect choice,” Bryan says. “We can’t wait to hear his amazing voice resonate up and down Liberty Avenue!”
Lambert first came on our radar during his time on “American Idol” in season eight. His unique style and vivacious personality definitely made us stop and take notice. He may not have been the overall winner of the singing competition, but he ultimately won the hearts of fans across the country. And now, his fandom has spread to a worldwide phenomenon.
His debut album, For Your Entertainment, unleashed hits, including “Whataya Want From Me?” and “If I Had You,” but Lambert really struck musical gold with his latest creation. His sophomore album, Trespassing, skyrocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard charts, thanks to its catchy dance songs and Lambert’s dedicated fan base. But Lambert’s songs also present a message about embracing who you are and not caring what other people think. For example, the title track is about daring to stand out and break boundaries, even when being different is not accepted – something we’re sure the openly gay singer has personally dealt with before.
While the Grammy Award nominee is making his mark in the music world, he’s also making a difference in the LGBT community. The singer has recently been working the gay pride event circuit, which included a show in Miami. The main difference between a concert and a Pride event? “It’s bound to be gayer, if that’s even possible,” Lambert says. “I really love how the community comes together to celebrate one another. It’s an inspiring event for us all.” Lambert also participated in the “It Gets Better” campaign, which supports and inspires youth who endure harassment and discrimination. In recognition of his work in the community, Lambert was honored with the Davidson/Valentini Award at the 24th annual GLAAD Media Awards. This award is given to an openly LGBT media professional, who has made a significant difference in promoting equality for the community. “I’m thrilled to accept it,” Lambert says. “I am honored that GLAAD sees merit in how I’ve chosen to represent myself and the LGBTQ community. I advocate for inclusion, diversity, and love in my art, and I hope to inspire others to be exactly who they want to be.”
With his explosive stage presence and daring wardrobe, we can’t wait to see what Lambert has planned for Pride in the Street on June 15. The only plan he’d reveal to us: “To sing my face off.” As a part of the Pittsburgh Pride celebration, Lambert will be performing for thousands of fans atop the outdoor stage on Liberty Avenue. As Pittsburgh Pride continues to have a stronger presence in the city — it’s currently the fifth largest special event! — Bryan says it’s important to ensure everyone gets the most out of the event that they can. “Pride in the Street is an entire evening of performers and music that offers a little bit of something for everyone.” An amazing concert by Adam Lambert sounds great to us!

Michael Orland on Adam
When has a contestant really surprised you? In season 8, I did an arrangement for Adam Lambert. It was Disco Week, and everyone assumed he was going to do “I Will Survive” or something. Instead, he told us he wanted to turn “If I Can’t Have You” into a heart-wrenching ballad. Even Simon loved it. Adam gave me credit on national TV, which was the first time had publicly acknowledged me like that.
