Terry O’Neill
Terry O’Neill (b. 1938) in London, East End. At the age of 14, he left school to become a jazz drummer, but it was a coincidence that made him a photographer instead. One day, he saw Interior Minister Rab Butler asleep at an airport and photographed him. The picture was shown the next day on the first page of Sunday Dispatch, and this was the start of a long and successful photographic career.
Terry broke with the prevailing 50’s style with his more natural and spontaneous image style and quickly became popular. His work has been published in magazines such as Look, Life, Vogue, Paris Match and Rolling Stone. The friendship with stars like Richard Burton and Michael Caine allowed him to bring people together for photographic meetings.
When Elizabeth Taylor wanted to meet David Bowie, Terry O’Neill brought them together in a series of classic images. In the 1980s, Terry began photographing more and more for Hollywood. His marriage to Faye Dunaway helped contribute to his international success, especially in the United States from the 1970s onwards. Over the years, he has photographed many big names such as Brigitte Bardot, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Audrey Hepburn, Clint Eastwood, Sean Connery, Paul Newman, Elvis Presley and bands such as The Rolling Stones, U2 and The Beatles.
In recent years he has taken photographic portraits of the royal family and with his 65 photographs in London’s National Portrait Gallery collections, he is today one of the greatest British photographers of all time.
