Featuring a foreword by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
Afshin Shahidi met Prince in 1993 and soon became his cinematographer and later some of the only people allowed to photograph him. He collaborated with Prince longer than every other photographer. Afshin was once the one photographer allowed to shoot the legendary 3121 private parties in Los Angeles that became essentially the most sought after invitations in Hollywood; some of those photos are included on this book.
Prince: A Private View compiles photographer Afshin Shahidi’s work into a journey through Prince’s atypical life. With never-before-seen photos, it’s the ultimate choice of shots of Prince. Brief, but complete and wealthy, stories about Shahidi and Prince’s collaboration and time together are alternately incisive, personal, and even funny.
