Terence Patrick O\u2019Neill, known as Terry O\u2019Neill (1938\u20132019), was a British photographer, renowned for his spontaneous, intimate, and iconic portraits of celebrities, fashion-world icons, and cultural figures from the 1960s and 1970s. Terry captured the very essence of stardom and the cultural revolution with a combination of spontaneous intimacy and stylistic precision. His extensive archive and iconic images continue to influence and define the world of photography.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
