About

Terry O’Neill is one of the world’s great post war contemporary photographers, having served his apprenticeship in Fleet Street’s rough and tumble sixties heyday as one of the new wave of East End sharpshooters that redefined the role of photography and chronicled the changing face of popular culture at the very dawn of the 'celebrity age' , including the earliest photographic sessions with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Assignments at Vogue, Paris Match, Life and Rolling Stone Magazine followed, paving the way to a successful relocation to California, where he photographed the elite of the Hollywood Seventies generation, before returning to the UK to become a regular contributor to the Sunday Times Magazine.

He was Frank Sinatra’s photographer of choice and his other subjects of the time include Brigitte Bardot, Sean Connery, Paul Newman, Raquel Welch, David Bowie, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Ava Gardner, Audrey Hepburn, Michael Caine and Kate Moss. The list is endless.

His work is held in many private collections as well as museums and galleries the world over.
