Terry O'Neill
Terry O’Neill is one of the world’s most collected photographers
whose work hangs in national art galleries and private collections worldwide.
For over six decades, he has photographed the frontline of fame,
from the greats of screen and stage to presidents, prime ministers and rock stars.
No other living photographer has embraced the span of fame,
capturing the icons of our age from Winston Churchill to Nelson Mandela,
from Frank Sinatra and Elvis to Amy Winehouse,
from Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot to Nicole Kidman,
as well as every James Bond from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig.
He photographed The Beatles and The Rolling Stones when they were still struggling
young bands in 1963, pioneered backstage reportage photography with David Bowie,
Elton John, The Who, Eric Clapton and Chuck Berry and his images have adorned
historic rock albums, movie posters and international magazine covers.
As for James Bond, Terry O'Neill was a young photographer on the set of Goldfinger in 1963
when he captured--behind the scenes and never-before-seen--images of the moment
Sean Connery and Honor Blackman enjoyed a roll in the hay in a
memorable and comical fight scene that made Pussy Galore cinematic folklore.
In October, 2012, Bond celebrated its 50th anniversary as a celluloid hero,
coinciding with the release of the latest 007 movie, SkyFall.
As part of this celebrationary year, O'Neill released a fantastic book
through publishers EM Books chronicling his Bond experiences called "All About Bond".
All About Bond is a unique memoir that will delight,
amuse and inform Bond fans the world over.
It is packed with surprises, insights and candid memories,
both personal and photographic from legendary names who cut their teeth
and carved out careers in some of the most memorable scenes in movie history.
