Breaking Stones: 1963-1965 A Band on the Brink of Superstardom Hardcover - 2016

Terry O'Neill is one of the world's most collected photographers with work hanging in national art galleries and private collections worldwide. O'Neill began his career at the birth of the 1960s when he realized that youth culture was a breaking news story on a global scale and began chronicling the emerging faces of film, fashion and music who would go on to define the Swinging Sixties. By 1965 he was being commissioned by the biggest magazines and newspapers in the world. He photographed The Beatles and The Rolling Stones when they were still struggling young bands in 1963 and went on to capture iconic names such as Audrey Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, David Bowie, Elton John, The Who, Faye Dunaway, Brigitte Bardot and countless others. His images have adorned historic rock albums, movie posters and international magazine covers. Gered Mankowitz is an English photographer who focused his career in the music industry.
