Terry O'Neill spent the summer of 1966 on location with Audrey Hepburn as she filmed Two for the Road in St. Tropez and How to Steal a Million in Paris. He was at the height of his powers; she was at the height of hers. The photographs he made during those months are among the most quietly beautiful of his career.
Where much of O'Neill's work crackled with energy and attitude, the Hepburn images have a different quality - unhurried, luminous, completely at ease. In one, a dove lands on her shoulder mid-shoot, entirely unplanned. She doesn't flinch. O'Neill fired the shutter. The result is one of those rare photographs that feels like it couldn't have been arranged.
