Iconic portraits and contact sheets from Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Live and Let Die, Golden Eye and the Bond spoof, Casino RoyaleThe new James Bond film, No Time to Die, releases world-wide in April 2020Documented by one of the world’s greatest photographers: Terry O’NeillContributions from actors including George Lazenby and Jane SeymourIncludes rare and unseen imagesThe perfect gift for fans of James BondTerry 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.
