The famous British photographer Terry O&#39;Neill passed away. He was seriously ill, but his death was sudden news. All his photographs have become an archive forever.

His photo archive is a chronicle of the British culture of the second half of the twentieth century. But not only, he also photographed a lot of Hollywood stars. The heroes of Terry O&#39;Neill&#39;s photos were rock stars, artists, supermodels and politicians, as well as members of the royal family.

He photographed many at the approaches to fame - as if the flash of his camera illuminated his future path.

He photographed The Beatles when he was a 20-year-old guy, then said that he immediately understood that John Lennon was a special person, not at all like the others. Terry O&#39;Neill liked to anticipate. Capturing the star before it appeared on all covers and in all newspapers.

He became a photographer by accident, when he did a successful shot at Heathrow Airport.

His first professional job was a photo shoot of Lawrence Olivier. Since then, each frame is like a piece of the mind, a portrait that embodies the psychological aspects of the subject.

Terry O&#39;Neill photographed the spirit of London. &ldquo;The city lives on the happiness of its people,&rdquo; as the song says. In his photographs, people are happy. Perhaps not for long, but thanks to him they can remind happpy forever.

Terry O&#39;Neill proved that one click of the camera can make a person tell everything about oneself - without words.
