In 2003, Charles Moriarty was invited to photograph a 19-year-old Amy Winehouse.

At that point, his only experience with the camera was snapping friends at house parties, but he formed a bond with Winehouse that lasted two years until be moved back to his home country on Ireland. He also shot the cover for her debut album Frank. “t wasn’t to be a projection of a girl in the music industry or a girl releasing her first album, it was just supposed to be Amy. I suppose it’s only in hindsight that the images stand out as much as they do – especially now that we have so many later versions of her that most people rely on,” he said.

Five years after Winehouse’s tragic death, Moriarty released Before Frank, a raw and evocative collection of images of the singer before her rapid ascension to superstardom. Now, he’s releasing another edition of the book, featuring outside contributions and a further 50 images of Winehouse. Ahead of the latest version, Dazed have previewed some of the images, as well as interviewing Moriarty about his time spent with Winehouse.

“She didn’t deal in bullshit, that’s for sure. I think that was actually part of the problem with other photographers – they wanted to impose certain things and she didn’t like that. She was very much part of her ground… I do believe that in many ways she’d have been happy playing in the back of a pub in Camden for the rest of her life, just singing and having a place to throw that talent of hers out to the world,” he said.
