The renowned photographer selected the series of images himself from his extensive archive. The photo book is a real must for Terry's fans and collectors of photography.
Terry O'Neill is one of today's greatest living photographers, with work exhibited in premier museums and art galleries around the world. His iconic images of Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, Brigitte Bardot, Faye Dunaway and David Bowie - to name a few - are instantly recognizable worldwide. Now, for the first time, O'Neill selects a series of images from his extensive archive of "vintage prints" that will surprise and delight collectors and photography enthusiasts alike.
Long before the digital age, photographers sent physical prints to newspapers and magazines. These prints were passed around, used by many, stamped on the back and often captioned. After use, the prints were stored, discarded or - for the lucky few - returned to the photographer or their photo agencies.
In the early 1960s, when O'Neill's career began, physical prints were the norm. Terry kept as many photographs as possible that were returned to him. "I just kept everything," he says. "I don't know why. In those days, there wasn't really a reason to keep them. Photos were used right away and then I just moved on to the next assignment. Nobody thought about these photos being worth anything later, let alone 50 years later."
