Product Description

90 years of life does not come often, that is why when Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa who was able to touch so many lives all over the world, turned 90, a powerhouse cast of the best singers and performers gathered together for a special event.

One of these artists who was present during Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday is Amy Winehouse, the first British singer to win five Grammy awards in one night. This rare photo of Amy Winehouse as she stares captivatingly at the lens was taken at the backstage of the event, in London’s Hyde Park on the 27th of June 2008. The photo shows the delicate features of Amy Winehouse in stark contrast to her numerous body tattoos, making her look fierce with a touch of charm. Grab one of these exclusive photographs that are signed by the world class photographer himself, Terry O’Neill.

With over five decades of solid experience in the field of photography, Terry O’Neill was able to capture hundreds of memorable events in the lives of famous people. During his teenage years, Terry already had big ambitions so at 14, he decided to leave school to find what he thinks would be his calling in life – a jazz band. Soon after, Terry attended art school and became interested in photojournalism. While working at the London Heathrow Airport, he took snapshots of famous personalities and in 1959, his first photograph was published, a photo of then current secretary Rab Butler. After a year, Terry received one of the best offers of his life and that was to work for the most prestigious picture paper at that time, the Daily Sketch.

Since then, Terry O’Neill has been taking photographs and uses high quality silver gelatin to ensure vivid images like they were from yesterday.
