What it must have been like to work for the legendary Prince for over 20 years… That’s what friend, confidant, and private photographer Afshin Shahidi enjoyed; now he’s releasing ‘Prince; A Private View,’ a wonderful picture book about Prince, with Beyoncé offering a touching forward for the book.
Many of the artist’s album covers were shot by Afshin which are included amongst the pages, but the overall power of the book is the private pictures taken at over 3,000+ private parties in a 20 years span.
