Ο Τέρι Ο’ Νιλ ήταν για πολλούς, ο φωτογράφος που περιέγραψε την κουλτούρα της δεκαετίας του 1960, όπως κανένας άλλος. Αλλά όχι μόνο.

Φωτογραφίζοντας διασημότητες και καταγράφοντας με μία κάμερα το σαρωτικό ρεύμα της εποχής του, ο Τέρι Ο’ Νιλ κατάφερε να τοποθετήσει το όνομά του στο πάνθεον των φωτογράφων, για όλους τους σωστούς λόγους.

Ζώντας 100 ζωές μέσα σε 81 χρόνια, αυτή η εμβληματική προσωπικότητα για την ιστορία της pop κουλτούρας και της μόδας, δεν βρίσκεται πια μαζί μας.

It is with a heavy heart that Iconic Images announces the passing of Terry O’Neill, CBE. • Terry was a class act, quick witted and filled with charm. Anyone who was lucky enough to know or work with him can attest to his generosity and modesty. As one of the most iconic photographers of the last 60 years, his legendary pictures will forever remain imprinted in our memories as well as in our hearts and minds. • Photo by Misan Harriman.

Ο σπουδαίος βρετανός φωτογράφος Τέρι Ο’ Νιλ, ο άνθρωπος που  αιχμαλώτισε μέσα από το φακό του το πνεύμα μιας ολόκληρης γενιά, την θεαματική άνοδο των Beatles και των Rolling Stones, έφυγε από τη ζωή, αφήνοντας πίσω του μια σπουδαία παρακαταθήκη.

«Μπορείς να κοιτάς μια εικόνα για μία ολόκληρη εβδομάδα και να μην την σκεφτείς ποτέ ξανά. Μπορείς επίσης να κοιτάξεις  μια εικόνα για μόλις μια στιγμή και τη θυμάσαι για πάντα» έλεγε ο Χουάν Μιρό.

Και πράγματι ο Τέρι Ο’ Νιλ δημιουργούσε τέτοιες αξέχαστες εικόνες.

Ακολουθούν μερικές μόλις από τα χιλιάδες αξέχαστες φωτογραφίες των πιο διάσημων προσώπων στο χώρο του θεάματος, με την υπογραφή του Τέρι Ο’ Νιλ.
