O'Neill's Sixties icons

They say that if you remember the Sixties, you weren't there. Terry O'Neill, however, was not only there but at the very epicentre of it all - and he remembers them vividly. At a time when British photography (and Britain itself) was at the height of its cool, O'Neill was part of that crop of young snappers who captured a feted generation on film and lived the wonderfully cliched Blow-Up existence that went with it. And O'Neill - like his contemporary David Bailey - really did exemplify the model: he photographed everyone from Frank Sinatra to Brigitte Bardot (above, 1971), hung out with The Beatles and married Faye Dunaway. Not bad for an East End working-class lad.
