An A0 sized (approx 84x118cm) high-quality print, produced via a scan of the original negative, depicting an image of Prince as taken by acclaimed photographer Virginia Turbett. #2 from an edition of only 20 produced.

Scanned at 3200 dpi from the original negative and printed as a professional quality silver halide, resin coated, black and white print

This B&W print is produced on genuine Harman black and white silver gelatine RC photographic paper. This is as close as you can get to a traditional B&W darkroom print from a digital file and has significant benefits when compared to B&W images produced from colour processes.

This image was used on the inner sleeve and CD booklet of Prince’s ‘Originals’ album. Taken backstage at Amsterdam’s Paradiso Club on 29th May 1981.

Virginia Turbett’s first photo assignment was in June 1977 photographing the Sex Pistols recording the Pretty Vacant Video.

She spent the next ten years photographing for Sounds, Smash Hits, The Face, New Sounds New Styles, Flexipop and Record Mirror : the music, the fans and fashion of the punk, heavy metal, mod, new romantic, reggae, 2-tone and electro pop scenes.

Her work took her all over the world photographing features on hundreds of bands and solo artists including The Clash, Blondie, Iggy Pop, Prince, The Jam, U2, Andy Warhol, Frank Zappa, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, Madness, David Bowie and Duran Duran.

Virginia’s music, youth culture and social history photographs have been used to illustrate many thousands of magazines, books and are frequently used in documentaries and films.

Virginia has not made a handmade, darkroom, print since 1995. All prints made since then are digitally scanned at 3200 dpi from the original negative and printed on Canon Paper with Canon inks except for prints over A3+ size which are printed using silver gelatin process by Harman Lab.
