This is a collection of unseen photographs of Michael Jackson from the key period of his career from the end of the Jackson 5 era and the release of OFF THE WALL through the filming of the Beat It video for THRILLER. These are candid photographs before Jackson was surrounded by handlers and before anyone working with him had to sign nondisclosure agreements or surrender their copyright on photos.
