The first success came to O'Neal in 1959 when they captured the airport "Heathrow" sleeping on the floor man was the Minister of Internal Affairs of the UK, but the main models of the photographer are still not politicians, and stars of music and movies - not glossy luminaries and ordinary people in "normal" which is still definitely want to see firsthand. Many of the photographic masters, incidentally, has for months exhibited in Stoleshnikov, and an exhibition - a real retrospective of the photographer - was a logical continuation of the opening day in the open.
On the eve of the opening of the exhibition Terry O'Neill came into the gallery on Solyanka myself and even held for the assembled journalists a short tour, told he was born into the light of one or another snapshot: sleeping in an embrace with the dog, Brigitte Bardot, a young David Bowie with scissors in hand, Elton John at a concert two days after a suicide attempt, elegant and imperturbable, Queen Elizabeth and the order of a tired, but had not yet surrendered to the king of rock 'n' roll Elvis Presley, "the most beautiful of modern Supermodel Christie Turlington, Sean Connery in the bathroom of his hotel room and scary to think who else.

"All the best images are obtained by chance, - has told O'Neill, commenting on the famous photograph of Brigitte Bardot with her hair, her face was covered. - On this shoot I finished the film, was the last frame. I stood and waited - like a premonition of some sort, and sudden strong wind blew. A lock of hair fell into her eyes, and I made this picture. One of the best in my life in general, I think. "

Many of the photographs must O'Neal personal acquaintance with the stars and even something more: for example, Lee Marvin agreed to shoot only if they face Terri would drink with him, and one of the most famous works of the photographer - his future wife, actress Faye Dunaway, the next morning after presenting her an Oscar. Someone stole a shot, someone from the future legends got into his lens before he became such - for example, Beatles and Rolling Stones.

"Then these guys were no one knows - told O'Neill on one of his first major work, the photo Beatles in 1963, made in the courtyard of the studio Abbey Road. - He was 20, I was 20 - we do not understand what to do . But the time will put everything in its place. "

Exhibition "Terry O'Neill: The First and Last" will run until November 21.
