Has anyone else ever thought about this? In a photo studio somewhere, a big plastic flower is set up, and Prince comes out, disrobes and gets nekkid in front of numerous people with lights and cameras. A gasp goes up from everyone. A photo is taken:



Does anyone know who took the photo and what went down on the shoot?

The famous Jean Baptiste Mondino did the cover shot.
He has previously directed Madonna's 'Justify My Love' and 'Don't Tell Me' videos.
BTW, the attitude was "cool"

Only one roll of film was shot, no one except Jean Baptiste Mondino was allowed in the photostudio. Prince picked the frame he
wanted and demanded the rest of the film, which he destroyed.


you can see a small picture of prince amongst the hundreds of other pcitures of famous and fashionable people Jean Baptiste mondino did..

I'm sure there were a lot of s
