Exclusive Interview with John Isaac

John Isaac Exclusive Issue 17

***Please do not copy and paste the contents of this interview***

When did you speak with Michael for the first time?
…Meeting Michael, I received a phone call one day and the voice said: “Hi! Is this John?” I said “who is this?” and the voice said: “It’s Michael Jackson”. I said “get out of there mate!” and put the phone down, as I thought it was a prank call! Then the phone rang and it was Bob Jones, Michael’s Head of Communication and he told me Michael was upset that I put the phone down on him! Then I spoke to Michael who told me he wanted a signed poster of one of the pictures I’d done for UNICEF.

What was it like to be present at the HIStory Tour and rehearsals?
It was exciting! He loved what I did and once he said: “be my eyes and show me what I cannot see”. That was very touching. On the second concert, Michael was doing ‘Heal The World’ then grabbed my camera and took a picture of me and us both together as I always carry two cameras. It became part of the tour!

Which is your favourite picture of Michael you’ve taken?
There is a series with African kids. There’s a picture of Michael with all the kids around him and I think this is my favourite picture.

Are you ok to talk about the picture of Michael and Prince? Sure! There were paparazzi everywhere, helicopters… They knew the baby had been delivered. I was actually dressed as a doctor waiting to photograph them with my camera. He didn’t want any of my friends to know about this because of the deal he had with a magazine… One day we looked at a report on TV saying that no one knew who took the pictures of Michael and Prince and my wife and I were laughing because I had all the pictures in my closet!
