A life in music

"Prince In Hawaii - An Intimate Portrait of an Artist"
Photography by: Afshin Shahidi
Format: Hardcover, 142 pages
Publisher: NPG Music Club (June 2004)
Retail Price: $49.99
ISBN: 0-967-85014-2

"Synopsis:
Prince & The New Power Generation came 2 the Hawaiian Islands 2 per4m 2 incredible
shows in December 2003. This stunning book of photos offers a rare glimpse in2 the
intimate world of an artist both onstage and off. Candid behind the scenes photos,
xciting live shots, and casual portraits capture Prince in a way that few have ever
seen. Come along and share the xperience."

"About The Photographer:
Afshin Shahidi, Photographer: In the short time that I have had the opportunity to
photograph Prince, the comment I've heard the most from fans worldwide is that I have
the best job ever. Aside from actually being in the band, they're right. Prince, as an
artist, expects and is willing to give creative freedom. This took a little getting
used to since the greater part of the industry runs on formulas and "proven methods".
Preparing for one of my first shoots with Prince's 'and the NPG, I asked him what he
wanted to do? His response was unexpected and initially put me in panic. He said,
"We want your creativity to spark our imagination." What was I going to do to that
would measure up to the years of great photos that already existed of him. The point
is, like true fans know, Prince challenges those around him to grow and create and
look at things from unique points of view. The magic and beauty of the Hawaiian Islands
compliment Prince, his music and his being. In this collection of photos, you'll see
Prince at his most relaxed and I believe truest nature. Enjoy."
