    Description of Picturing Prince An Intimate Portrait

    Picturing Prince sees the late icon’s former art director, Steve Parke, revealing stunning intimate photographs of the singer from his time working at Paisley Park. At least half of the images in the book are exclusively published here for the first time; most other images in the book are rare to the public eye.

    This edition also includes 16 pages of lost photographs, all of which have recently been uncovered by the author from within his extensive archive.

    Alongside these remarkable images are fifty engaging, poignant, and often funny written vignettes by Parke, which reveal the very human man behind the reclusive superstar: from shooting hoops to renting out movie theatres at 4 a.m.; from midnight requests for camels to meaningful conversations that shed light on Prince as both a man and an artist.
