Afshin Shahidi

This is a photographic book, the collection of which has been mostly unseen before Prince's death. Taken by a personal photographer, they cover the years of 2002 until 2011. He does explain some of them, describing the situation or what took place, and there is a full index of places and dates.

It was an insight into the life of Prince, but sadly I had hoped it would cover earlier years, from the 1990's as Afshin Shahidi said he did work with Prince from 1993. I also felt it was clear that Afshin knew Prince's second wife well as there were several photos with her with Prince, and yet none of Prince's first wife Mayte, whom he must have taken shots if he worked with Prince from 1993.

But it was a personal collection of Afshin Shahidi, so it was his choice what he put it. And I am grateful for an insight into a man I very much loved and admired.… (altro)
