Prince : a private view
Afshin Shahidi met Prince in 1993 and soon became his cinematographer and later one of the only people allowed to photograph him. He collaborated with Prince longer than any other photographer. Afshin was the only photographer allowed to shoot the legendary 3121 private parties in Los Angeles that became the most sought after invitations in Hollywood; some of those photos are included in this book. Prince: A Private View compiles photographer Afshin Shahidi's work into a journey through Prince's extraordinary life. With never-before-seen photos, it is the ultimate collection of shots of Prince. Brief, but complete and rich, stories about Shahidi and Prince's collaboration and time together are alternately incisive, personal, and even funny.

Bruce Springsteen : from Asbury Park, to Born to Run, to Born in the USA
\"An unprecedented look at Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band on their path to becoming rock legends, from the group's early New Jersey Shore days in 1973, to their meteoric rise, to the band's seminal Born in the U.S.A. tour. David Gahr (1922-2008) was tapped by Columbia Records designer John Berg to shoot cover art for Springsteen's second album, The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle. Gahr's earliest photographs of the musician showcase a youthful Bruce Springsteen, not even aged twenty-three, in New Jersey, on the eve of a career breakthrough. Gahr befriended the rising star, and from 1973 to 1986 he photographed Springsteen countless times both on and off stage. Rare captures include Springsteen recording music, performing at the famous West Village venue The Bottom Line weeks before the release of his seminal 1975 album Born to Run, and playing to legions of fans during his Born in the U.S.A. tour\"--Jacket flap.
