Prince: A Private View

This intimate portrait of Prince's life, compiled soon after the superstar's unexpected death in 2016, is mostly a visual piece - Shahidi functioned as his private photographer from the early 2000s until his death. And, despite what they say about a picture being worth a thousand words, Shahidi's are worth much more: Prince's remarkable vibrance, infectious energy, and entirely unique personality shine through in every photo.

Afshin Shahidi first met Prince in 1993 and quickly became his cinematographer, as well as one of the few persons permitted to shoot him. He worked with Prince for the longest period of time of any photographer. Afshin was the only photographer permitted to capture the renowned 3121 private parties in Los Angeles, which quickly became the most sought-after invites in Hollywood; some of those photographs are featured in this book.

A Private View of Prince Photographer Afshin Shahidi's work is compiled into a trip through Prince's amazing life. It's the definitive collection of Prince pictures, with never-before-seen images. The anecdotes regarding Shahidi and Prince's partnership and time together are insightful, intimate, and even hilarious at times.
