The images, published by the Guardian, show the Melbourne-born ISIS recruiter wearing glasses, with cropped hair and a short beard. He appears slimmer than when he featured in the terrorist group's propaganda videos and is without his trademark robe.
Prakash, 25, was recently arrested in Turkey, months after a drone strike in Mosul, Iraq, that was believed to have killed him and other Islamic State senior officials.
In May the federal government said the Australian jihadist died in the US-led airstrike, but it later emerged that while he was injured he did survive.

He crossed the border from Syria into Turkey using false documentation and was detained by local officials working with Australian police.
Earlier this week, Fairfax Media reported he might have been tracked to Turkey by his postings on social media.
It is understood Australia is now trying to extradite Prakash. The Australian Federal Police issued an arrest warrant for him last year.
Prakash, also known as Abu Khaled al-Cambodi, was raised in Melbourne as a Buddhist but converted to Islam in 2012. The former apprentice mechanic left Australia in 2013, becoming an online recruiter for would-be foreign fighters and rising quickly through the ranks of Islamic State.
Prakash has been linked to the 2015 Anzac Day terror plot in Melbourne and was intercepted talking online with a Sydney teenager arrested after allegedly attempting to buy a gun.
