Raised in the spotlight and yet a recluse, the legendary Jackson was a perfect subject for Ron Galella, the godfather of paparazzi. Galella shot Michael from his early days in the Jackson 5 right up until his death in 2009. Finding intimate moments with the star off-stage, he captured candid portraits of the man behind the mask. He was able to find the personal side of Michael with his many celebrity friends, his family and Bubbles. This inimitable body of work is a lasting tribute to Michael Jackson's life.
