———————————————————————————————————————–
World famous photographer Terry O?Neill brings his award winning photography to Norfolk for the very first time with an exclusive presentation at The Saint Giles Street Gallery.
Many of the images on show are from O?Neill?s extensive portfolio, some of which have never been exhibited before and others that have become ?classics? of the contemporary ?celebrity age? of the modern era of photojournalism.
O?Neill is the celebrity photographer?s celebrity photographer, having built up a career from the humblest beginnings on Fleet Street?s Daily Sketch.
Going freelance at the tail end of the 60?s he found himself in huge demand working on assignment for Vogue, Look, Life, Rolling Stone and many others before his marriage to Faye Dunaway opened the door to Hollywood and he became Frank Sinatra?s personal photographer through an introduction from Ava Gardner.
Throughout his 40-year domination of British and American portrait photography, O?Neill has become the celebrity?s photographer of choice.
All works will be for sale and are strictly limited to an edition of 50.
