Terry O'Neill, renowned for his striking and intimate celebrity portraits, captured an unforgettable image of Elton John during the outtakes for the cover of his album "Greatest Hits." This particular photograph, taken in the mid-1970s, showcases a candid and expressive Elton John, embodying the vibrant and flamboyant energy that characterizes his music and stage presence. O'Neill's keen eye for detail and ability to capture the essence of his subjects is evident in this image, which transcends a mere album cover outtake to become a piece of art in its own right.


The photograph, part of a series taken for the "Greatest Hits" album, features Elton John in a moment of unguarded charisma. O'Neill's ability to capture the singer’s exuberant personality and unique style is on full display. The setting, lighting, and composition reflect the glamour and dynamism that Elton John brought to the music scene. The result is an image that stands out, making a powerful statement about the artist it represents.


Recently, one of these outtake photos from O'Neill's session went to auction at Christie's, drawing significant attention. This particular print, from Elton John's own collection, underscores its importance and value, both artistically and historically. The auction highlighted the enduring appeal of both Elton John and Terry O'Neill's work, as collectors and fans alike vied for a piece of music history.
