“Prince On The Cover Of Parade ☮︎ Jeff Katz's Best Photograph”

The Guardian ☞  Feature Article

Jeff Katz ☞

“He [Prince] put some music on a small boombox, and told me he was good to go. Within three rolls of film, I knew I had the shot.

I captured exactly what I set out to achieve: something simple, dramatic and iconic. The way the delicacy of his face offsets the muscularity of his stomach and the drama of his hand gestures makes this photo special for me. It ended up on the cover of his album Parade.

It was the start of more than a decade photographing Prince. I’ve worked with people of immense talent throughout my career, but nobody compares to him. Prince was Prince from the moment he woke up to the moment he went to sleep: he was meticulous in his art at every moment.”

THE BEAUTIFUL ONES

"That's the first thing 👁 can remember.

U know how U can tell when someone is smiling just by looking in their eyes? That was my mother's eyes. Sometimes she would squint them like she was about to tell you a secret. 👁 found out later my mother had a lot of secrets.
My father's piano. That's the first thing 👁 remember hearing. As a younger man his playing was very busy but fluid it was a joyous sound.
The eyes and the ears of a songwriter can never get enough praise.

The ways things look & the way things sound, when conveyed lyrically, can give a song space & gravity." 
And so it begins . . .
🕊 By Prince

This is the photograph that Prince picked for his passport, on page 238, from the Jeff Katz Parade photo session. September of 1985, in Nice, France. ​
