Prince is often seen with a camera, but other than his famous "selfie" taken with his 35mm camera, has any of his photography been published?? I would love to see an exhibit of his work. If you know of any of his photo artistry, please post it here. Thanks in advance.

I'll start. Here is a wonderfully composed selfie/shot of his band.

Here's his famous selfie.

I would love to see an exhibit or book of photos of Prince. I see all these pictures online and for some of them, there is no caption explaining about the image, so it requires one to do some digging. It would be interesting to have a book of photographs and then background information about the photographs as well as context, e.g. this is the first time he wore such and such outfit or this is the photo of him with a new hairstyle. A book of photographs would be a great way to chronicle his style, his evolution, and so forth.

Of course, that would be great, as well, 206Michelle. In fact, I would not be surprised if there were already something like that in the works. What I'm talking about, however, is images taken by Prince, with him as photographer, not subject. He reportedly loved photography.

Fly on the Wall, I know you were talking about his photography. The only photographs I've seen of his are on social media. I wasn't trying to derail your thread or anything or take it in a different direction. The topic of photography made me think of how cool it would be to have a "his life in photos" type of book/exhibit, which could of course include some of his own photographs.

206Michelle, I didn't think you were trying to "derail" my thread. LOL. I really appreciate your input. And please know that I also LOVE seeing pictures of P, and I, too, often want to know the backstory behind the photos. The camera really loved him, but photography is a two-way street. BTW: Did Prince post many photos on social media? I know that he was on Twitter. I'll have to check his account with new eyes. Did he also have an Instagram account? Do you know of any links? Like P, I really love photography, so I'd really like to see more of his shots. Something tells me that if/when his photography is released, we are in for quite a special treat.

Fly on the Wall, he has some nice photos on Instagram, but I doubt it's the creme de la creme. I suspect that his best work is in his vault.

Thanks, 206Michelle!! There are nice pics on Instagram, or Princetagram as he referred to his IG, but I don't think he took most of those photos. Twitter has some nice ones also.

Didn't he take photos for/of The Family back in the day?

Thanks for the lead, FUNKNROLL!! I'll see if I can find anything online.
