Happy, beautiful and full of fun - this book is an intimate portrait of the real Amy Winehouse. With over 50 photographs, many seen here for the first time, this is a celebration of a young artist on the cusp of fame. The photos were taken by Charles Moriarty just before Amy released her debut album. These beautiful images give an early glimpse of the girl who would captivate the world. With a foreword by Asif Kapadia, director of Academy Award-winning documentary Amy, and an introduction by Ashleigh Kane from Dazed, Before Frank is a tribute to the enduring spirit of a truly special artist.
