Before Frank is a book that captures a remarkable period in the life of one of music’s most recent and significant figures.
It is touching and personal, ensuring we remember that before Amy Winehouse was Amy: a Jewish girl born in Southgate and raised in Camden, who wanted to sing.
It is made up of images taken by Charles Moriarty during two fleeting photo shoots, one in London and the other in New York. Within its pages we see Amy at one of the most pivotal periods of her life, one that Charles affectionately refers to as ‘Before Frank’.
Charles photographed Amy on the cusp of a career that would take her to interstellar heights and ocean-deep lows, and in doing so he makes it difficult to pinpoint an exact emotion that viewing these photos evokes.
“Over the years I have seen thousands of images of Amy, by brilliant photographers
from all over the world, but Charles Moriarty's photos stood out."
- Asif Kapadia, Director of 'Amy'
"Before Frank, is as close to the real Amy we're ever going to see." Mark Lindores, Classic Pop magazine
