Stormtrooper helmets — among the most iconic elements of the Star Wars universe — seem to be particularly ripe for artistic […]

British photographer Terry O’Neill made a name for himself shooting the most prominent stars of the 1960s, quickly moving up the ranks from his first gig shooting Laurence Olivier to following around the likes of The Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, The Beatles, and Bridgette Bardot.
