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 4am; from midnight requests for camels to meaningful conversations that shed light on Prince as a man and artist. STEVE PARKE 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 7.7 x 1 x 9.95 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Isbn 10 | 1844039692 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1844039692 | | Item Weight | 2.22 pounds | | Language | English | | Print Length | 240 pages | | Publication Date | September 5, 2017 | | Publisher | Cassell | ## Images ![Picturing Prince: An Intimate Portrait - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RtVDUkm8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Picturing Prince is Perfect *by on Reviewed in the United States September 10, 2017* This touching love letter to Prince is as simple and as overwhelming as the multi-faceted relationship that photographer/artist Steve Parke beautifully presents to us. Prince was a force of nature, and Parke was lucky enough to share 13 extraordinary years with a man who remained somewhat of a mystery to most. Little treasured stories about working with Prince, accompanied by gorgeous photographs, are gifted to the reader, and the full force of these years of anecdotes is a very emotional ride...I smiled, cried, laughed out loud and felt an even deeper love for Prince which I didn't think was possible. The book is unique because Steve Parke is special, and the stories he tells come from a place of deep love, respect and great admiration for the icon who he could call a friend. A good photographer serves his subject well with great lighting, a comfortable atmosphere, an authentic approach...all in an effort to reveal an honest, beautiful portrait that is compelling. Parke does this over and over and over again in this book that you wish would never end. JAlythia ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great photos and stories to match!!! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 23, 2025* If you are a Prince fan then this is a book for you. Beautiful pictures but also wonderful stories throughout that i have loved to read. Prince was an amazing artist and person!! This book brings him to life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Beautiful Book Fitting for A Beautiful Prince! *by on Reviewed in the United States September 6, 2017* "Picturing Prince" is a gorgeous photo-book that manages to perfectly capture the beauty (inside and out) of the amazing artist, Prince. The photographs are stunning (many never seen before) and show the playful, contemplative, serious, and (of course) sexy side of His Royal Badness. Just as Steve Parke's photos highlight Prince's beautiful exterior (body, clothes, set), his personal stories highlight the artist's beautiful interior (his hard work ethic, his playful personality, and his generosity). Steve's stories about Prince are not just the run-of-the-mill stories that someone has heard second-hand from someone who knew Prince! Rather, his stories are personal and told from the viewpoint of someone who wasn't only Prince's employee but also a friend! If you are a Prince fan, I'm sure you will find the stories heartwarming, funny, and a peek into Prince's personality - something his fans have been waiting for a long time to hear! If you love Prince (as I do), do yourself a favor and get this gorgeous photo-book! If the pictures don't win you over, I'm sure Steve's great stories will! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/46285575-picturing-prince-an-intimate-portrait](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/46285575-picturing-prince-an-intimate-portrait) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
