If you’ve ever wanted to populate your home with rare fine-art prints of Steve Jobs, this is your lucky day!
That’s because Doug Menuez, an award-winning documentary photographer who made an unprecedented number of pictures of Jobs between 1985 and 1994, is selling a limited quantity of black-and-white prints for the first time.

The photos in question were taken of Jobs shortly after he left Apple in 1985. As Menuez says:
“These were some of Steve’s most difficult years while trying to launch the NeXT Computer, a powerful workstation he hoped would transform education. He said he hoped it would allow a student at ‘Stanford to cure cancer in his dorm room.’ It failed, but ultimately Steve prevailed because the NeXTStep operating system was a decade ahead of the competition and Apple bought it in 1996 giving Steve a seat on the board of his former company. It was the beginning of his tremendous comeback.”
The prices start at $225 for an unframed 8.5 x 11-inch print, and stretch up to $1,275 for a 13 x 19-inch framed copy, including postage. This week, all prints on the site are also 30 percent off with the promo code “launch.”
There are eight Jobs images in total, shot between 1986 and 1988, showing Steve with the original NeXT Computer prototype, Jobs celebrating a visit to the NeXT factory, and more. Menuez is also offering other technology prints, in addition to his Steve Jobs collection.
Personally, I’m a massive fan of Doug’s work — being a lover of both black-and-white documentary photography and the tech world of the 1980s and 90s. I previously wrote about his work to celebrate the launch of his book Fearless Genius: The Digital Revolution in Silicon Valley 1985-2000.
