The ultimate record of the work of a world-class photographer.
Capturing the iconic, candid, and unguarded moments of the famous
and the notorious. "Terry was everywhere in the 60s - he knew
everything and everyone that was happening" Keith Richards "Terry
O'Neill rates rightly as one of the best photographers in the
world. He captures something special" Sir Michael Caine "When it
comes to photographic legends there can be few more prolific or
revered than Terry O'Neill, the man who shot the greats." VOGUE
"This sumptuous collection of portraits, taken over six decades,
represents the best of his memorable career and should grace every
coffee table in the land" The Daily Mail "I've been repeatedly
asked to write my autobiography - I have seen an awful lot of
famous people at their best and worst - but I'm not interested in
making money trading their secrets or mine. I want my pictures to
tell a story not sell a story." Terry O'Neill Terry O'Neill is one
of the world's most celebrated and collected photographers. No one
has captured the frontline of fame so broadly - and for so long.
For more than 50 years, he has photographed rock stars and
presidents, royals and movie stars, at work, at play, in private.
He pioneered backstage reportage photography with the likes of
Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Sir Elton John and Chuck Berry and his
work comprises a vital chronicle of rock and roll history. Now, for
the first time, an exhaustive cataloguing of his archive conducted
over the last three years has revisited more than 2 million
negatives and has unearthed unseen images that escaped the eye over
a career spanning 53 years. Similarly, his use of 35mm cameras on
film sets and the early pop music shows of the 60s opened up a new
visual art form using photojournalism, to revolutionise formal
portraiture. His work captured the iconic, candid, and unguarded
moments of the famous and the notorious - from Ava Gardner to Amy
Winehouse, from Churchill to Nelson Mandela, from the earliest
photographs of young emerging bands such as the Beatles and the
Rolling Stones to her Majesty the Queen at Buckingham Palace. O'
Neill spent more than 30 years photographing Frank Sinatra,
amassing a unique archive of more than 3,000 Sinatra negatives. Add
to that the magazine covers, album sleeves, film poster and fashion
shoots of 1,000 stars, and Terry O'Neill - comprises the most
compelling and epic catalogue of the age of celebrity.
