The collection of photos shows the photographer’s work with Prince from 1996 through 2001, with many rare and unseen photos that the pair worked on together.

"A decade after his passing, rare and unseen photos of legendary singer Prince are being revealed in a striking new book by his longtime in-house art director at Paisley Park and award-winning photographer, Steve Parke. Titled "Prince: Black, White, Color," the collection features more than 250 intimate images capturing the man behind the icon."

"His former art director and personal photographer, Steve Parke, who recently published a photo book called “Prince: Black, White, Color,” told me he misses the friendship more than the opportunities life working with a rockstar provided." 

– The LA Times

"These intimate photos show a different side of Prince." 

– CNN

"Garcia is grateful for the memories she shared with Prince, some of which are featured in a new collection of photos by photographer Steve Parke."

– MSN

"Yet, despite the novelty, the photographs in the book confirm the facets most present in the collective imagination surrounding the artist: his magnetism, his tremendous ability—impossible to replicate successfully—to construct an aesthetic language of his own, his androgyny (which also contradicted social expectations as an African American man). But something more unusual emerges from many of the snapshots he shares with Mayte Garcia, beyond the chemistry expected in a couple that broke all the scales of beauty and style: the sweetness in their gestures, that tenderness added to the sparkle." 

– Vanity Fair US

"Now, ten years after Prince’s death, Parke has assembled more photographs into a new book, "Prince: Black, White, Color," an intimate document of a creative partnership few knew existed. Parke, who visits Fountain Bookstore this Thursday, talks about how it all started with a napkin sketch." 

– Style Weekly Richmond

"Parke—as Prince’s in-house art director at Paisley Park and an award-winning photographer, designer, and illustrator—had exclusive access to the Minnesota native in many of his more intimate moments. Lounging at home with his wife, working in the studio, and posing for portraits out in the world were just a handful of the personal moments Parke captured and is now sharing with the world."
