Eltonography A Life in Pictures by Terry O’Neill and Robin Morgan
Published by Evans Mitchell Books
Sir Elton John is undoubtedly one of the biggest rock and roll legends of all time. With more than 250 million albums sold, 100 million singles, an Oscar and five Grammies, he has had one of the most successful and sustained careers in music history. The legendary photographer Terry O’Neill has been there from the moment Reginald Dwight became Elton John recording the meteoric rise of “The Rocket Man”.
Eltonography is an amazing collection of nearly 200 photographs from O’Neill’s private archive that spans four decades. Mostly unpublished the photographs will trigger memories, amazement and surprise at the breadth of Sir Elton John’s Life in Pictures. From his infamous and flamboyant costumes to his lavish lifestyle and unforgettable performances this book really does capture the life and times of one of the greatest names in show business.
What began as a photo-shoot with the new kid on the pop block in the early 70’s, developed into a friendship and photographic partnership that has taken them both on a journey to fame. This book is a legacy of that relationship. O’Neill said “You can’t help but love Elton. He’s a genius, an enigma, a star, one of the greatest of all time”
Eltonography is a silk bound, hardback book with beautifully reproduced black & white and colour images and will be available from all good book stores priced £25. It can also be purchased from the publisher’s at www.embooks.co.uk
Terry O’Neill has been hailed as perhaps the greatest photographic chronicler of fame. He revolutionised portraiture and pioneered reportage celebrity photography. His iconic images are included in international art collections and sell widely on the fine-art market.
Robin Morgan is an editor and author. An award winning investigative journalist, columnist and foreign correspondent, he is currently enjoying a second term as the Editor of the acclaimed Sunday Times Magazine.
