Terry O’Neill CBE was one of the world’s most collected photographers, with his high profile work hanging in both national art galleries and private collections worldwide. From presidents to pop stars, he photographed the front line of fame for over six decades.
No other photographer has embraced the same span of fame, capturing the icons of our age from Winston Churchill and Nelson Mandela to Frank Sinatra and Elvis, to Amy Winehouse, Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot and Nicole Kidman – as well as every James Bond from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig.
Born in Romford, Essex, in the United Kingdom, the icon of photography passed away in November 2019 at the age of 81.
Terry O’Neill had a strong connection to the Leica brand, having used various models throughout his career, and subsequently collaborated on a Terry O’Neill limited edition Leica MP camera in 2018 – one of the best Leicas for collectors of these limited edition bodies.
All prints featured in the exhibition are being offered for sale, with a starting price of £2,700 (approximately $3,359 / AU$4,775).
