Terry O’Neill’s timeless works are a staple of every great photography collection. Now, his “Bond on the Moon” will be the staple of every great NFT collection, only this time… It will be in color!

This original Iconic photo was taken on the set of “Diamond Are Forever,” when news hit that astronaut Alan Shepherd had ended a historic moonwalk by launching a few golf balls at Mars with his 8 iron. O’Neill knew that Sean Connery, a keen golfer, always had his clubs with him, so they decided to recreate the shot on the perfect moonscape they already had set for the film.Now, we’re releasing this unique image in a totally new way.

Available only as an NFT and never to be sold for physical print by Iconic Images: Bond on the Moon In Color.

Ten distinct Bond on the Moon NFTs feature their own color palette and will be made available as NFTs in this first activation by Iconic Images. While our art has been featured in museums and auction houses around the world, we are choosing to go directly to the NFT community — minting on OpenSea and allowing NFT collectors to access this piece of fine art that, much like art & NFTs, has been reimagined by unique technological capabilities.

Terry O’Neill’s digital artist has reverse engineered what a color photograph would look like on the moon if the human eye could “see” the entire spectrum of colors and lights traveling through space.

They accessed NASA’s database of space photography to develop a palette of colors that can be detected in space via spectrometer. Varying quantities of light and color, including UV and gamma rays, produce a perspective alien and invisible to the human eye. This multiplicity of color allows for an entirely new experience of this legendary photo.
