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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlongside 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 4am; from midnight  requests for camels to meaningful conversations that shed light on  Prince as a man and artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTEVE PARKE\u003c\/b\u003e started working with  Prince in 1988, after a mutual friend showed Prince some of Steve's  photorealistic paintings. He designed everything from album covers and  merchandise to sets for Prince's tours and videos. Somewhere in all of  this, he became Paisley Park's official art director. He began  photographing Prince at the request of the star himself, and continued  to do so for the next several years. The images in this book are the  arresting result of this collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56585177629046,"sku":"9781788406611","price":29.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_40026701_cc12d66c-466f-49de-b2c0-39c63dd35911.jpg?v=1771484104","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781788406611-picturing-prince","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
