You may not know Norman Seeff by name, but you know his work; you’ve likely held an album cover shot by the man. Celebrated as one of the most noted photographers of the 1970s and ’80s, rock legends and celebrities alike have requested him, names like Blondie, The Rolling Stones, Frank Zappa, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, Steve Martin, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Steve Jobs… the list could go on and on.
The photographer first took photos of Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5 in 1976. He also took photos of Diana Ross and Michael Jackson in 1982.
“Diana asked for this shoot and what really struck me with this session was the tender relationship between Diana and Michael,” Seeff said. “I’d worked with Michael before and found him to be very shy and quiet. Shooting with Diana, though, he was clearly more comfortable and open with her there. It was really adorable to see what happened between them.”

ReplyDeleteI disagree with analyzed assumptions why it's vague due uncertainty of gatherings. Diana ordeal simple she failed to gain attention from younger audience remain simply. Golden "Diva" Diana which gotten predominance reigning "Queen" of Motown which cause her crown. Diana's egoism apparent she assumed sold abundantly opposite. Critics mention new era,RCA along Michael Epic years difference media productions complement his musical style. Struggle for Diana whom continue reminded your old era along MS. Former years is this valid. Well RIAA observing net sales of lesser artist, Michael could have assisted. Diana new musical direction hesitation of musical change. Renowned dispute with Chic productions Diana almost lost the reverted title Sister Sledge! Diana felt slighted but how? Adaptability mention title Diana (1980) could sold abundantly reason. Lack of T.Vexposure on major shows and simplified appearance. Not the Ms.Gloss image of Vegas difference Michael besides "skin enhancements" become solo not the former icon. Presently, Diana still have stage presents, your voice has lost it's luster singe with others on stage. Have decide to engaged upon a musical of your career, possibility retiring? Ms.Ros
