In Pictures: Terry O'Neill - Reworked

Daniel Lumbini's version of O'Neill's Mick Jagger

A collection of photographer Terry O'Neill's best-known works have been re-interpreted by contemporary artists for a new exhibition. Set up by The Rook and Raven Gallery in London, the collaboration sees O'Neill's original images displayed alongside its re-imagined version, including Daniel Lumbini's take on Mick Jagger.

Before now, the photographer has not allowed another artist to edit his work. His famous image of Brigitte Bardot smoking a cigar has been digitally reworked by James Dawe.

"I have been looking at my photographs for decades and they've become very familiar to me," says O'Neill. "What I love about this collaboration is having young artists with a fresh eye interpreting iconic images for a new generation." Here James Marshall has given his take on a 1978 image of Elton John.

O'Neill's original 1970 image of actress Raquel Welch on a crucifix was so controversial at the time it was not published until 30 years later on the cover of the Sunday Times Magazine.

Other reworked portraits include Pam Glew's take on Jean Shrimpton and Terence Stamp using her trademark dyed fabrics, while portraits of Sean Connery, the Rolling Stones and Audrey Hepburn will also feature. Terry O'Neill - Reworked will run at the Rook and Raven from 8 - 31 March.
