The best photographer to have worked with Prince?

Seeing as how the man is so photogenic, who of the many photoghrahpers that have snapped his likeness was or is the best?

Mondino has to his credit the Lovesexy cover, although I haven't seen many more photos from that session. I'll check the gallery for more.

I think Herb Ritts really brought out a little bit extra in P. His work on "The Hits/B-Side" album will probably always be my favorite.

Intersting question! I would have to say Jeff Katz because he shot my all time favorite pic of Prince. I don't have a server so I can't post the pic but it is #956 in the gallery on page 312 biggrin
