Description

A stunning photographic journey through Prince’s extraordinary life, featuring rare and never-before-seen images.
When Prince wanted to document his One Nite Alone tour in 2002, he turned to Afshin Shahidi. Again in 2004, he went along on Prince’s record breaking Musicology Tour. Afshin met Prince in 1989 and became his cinematographer and later his photographer. He was the photographer closest to Prince for the last fifteen years of Prince’s life. Afshin is the only photographer to shoot the legendary 3121 private parties in Los Angeles that became the most sought after invitations in Hollywood.
Prince: A Private View compiles Shahidi’s work into an intimate visual journey through Prince’s iconic career. Featuring many never-before-seen photos, this ultimate collection includes both candid and carefully directed shots that capture Prince’s essence as an artist. Each photo is accompanied by brief yet insightful captions that provide a window into Prince’s world both on and off stage. With a foreword by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, this is a must-have for any fan of the legendary musician.
