Bond: Photographed by Terry O'Neill

by Terry O'Neill, James Clarke (Editor)

Iconic portraits and contact sheets from Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Live and Let Die, Golden Eye and the Bond spoof, Casino Royale The new James Bond film, No Time to Die, releases world-wide in April 2020 Documented by one of the world's greatest photographers: Terry O'Neill Interviews with actors including Honor Blackman, Caroline Munroe, Madeline Smith and more Includes rare and unseen images The perfect gift for fans of James Bond Terry O'Neill was given his first chance to photograph Sean Connery as James Bond in the film Goldfinger. From that moment, O'Neill's association with Bond was made: an enduring legacy that has carried through to the era of Daniel Craig. It was O'Neill who captured gritty and roguish pictures of Connery on set, and it was O'Neill who framed the super-suave Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. His images of Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore are also important, celebrating the vital role of women in the James Bond world. But it is Terry O'Neill's casual, on-set photographs of a mischievous Connery walking around the casinos of Las Vegas or Roger Moore dancing on a bed with co-star Madeline Smith that show the other side of the world's most recognizable spy. Terry O'Neill opens his archive to give readers - and viewers - the chance to enter the dazzling world of James Bond. Lavish color and black and white images are complemented by insights from O'Neill, alongside a series of original essays on the world of James Bond by BAFTA-longlisted film writer, James Clarke; and newly-conducted interviews with a number of actors featured in O'Neill's photographs.

[Bill · Rating 5 out of 5]

This, one of the recent birthday presents from my wonderful wife, was a superb coffee table book.
Terry O'Neill photographed what became iconic images from many James Bond films stretching from the 1960s to the present day.
While some photographs here have been seen previously in the 2012 book All About Bond there are many new images to be enjoyed, as well as new interviews with stars including George Lazenby & Jane Seymour.
A extremely welcome addition to my collection of James Bond reference books.

A special gift from a loved one always deserves five stars. So does the book, for that matter.
