Steve Parke is an award-winning illustrator, designer, and photographer.
He worked for Prince for 13 years as his in-house art director at Paisley Park—doing everything from designing album covers and hand painting guitars to enlisting every spare pair of hands to melt candles for an impromptu music video.

His photography work with Prince has been published in numerous magazines, including People, Rolling Stone, and Vogue, as well as in books like Prince Stories from the Purple Underground. His own book of Prince photography from this time, Picturing Prince, was published in April 2017.

Steve currently serves as Photo Editor at Enchanted Living magazine and is a 5-year board member at PRN Alumni Foundation, 501(c)3 non-profit whose mission seeks to continue Prince’s philanthropic vision providing youth education and food sustainability, and support to fellow alumni in crisis.
