"Photograph" has been performed at every Def Leppard concert tour since its release. It featured the video debut of their co-lead guitarist Phil Collen. The music video was directed by David Mallet and was shot on 2 December 1982 (bassist Rick Savage's 22nd birthday), in Battersea, London, England. There are several appearances of a lookalike impersonating Marilyn Monroe in the video, for the song is actually about the star and lead singer Joe Elliott's declaration that he does not just "want photograph" but that is all he has of her, and he must admire her from afar. The uncensored version shows a knife scene at the beginning, and on the censored version of the video, it is almost the same except the knife scene is replaced with a stationary black cat among other minor bits removed. There are two slightly different versions of the music video. The song has been described as glam metal, hard rock, power pop, and pop metal. It was also featured in the DLC release of Rock Band 3, in 2011. In 2013, the song was featured in the Grand Theft Auto V video game, on the Los Santos Rock Radio station. The performance was nominated for both Wide Open Country Video of the Year and CMT Performance of the Year at the 2009 CMT Music Awards. In 2008, they performed the song with country pop singer Taylor Swift on CMT Crossroads. It was also listed as the 17th-greatest song of the past 25 years by VH1. In 2009 it was named the 13th-greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1. 1 on the Billboard Top Tracks chart, where it stayed for six weeks, and No. Their lead vocalist Joe Elliott has described the song as generally about "something you can't ever get your hands on". It is the lead single from the band's third studio album, Pyromania (1983). " Photograph" is a song performed by English rock band Def Leppard and produced by Robert John "Mutt" Lange.
