storm studios

The late, great, inimitable Storm Thorgerson. For fifteen years up to his passing, we enjoyed a memorable and close relationship with Storm, translating the concepts from his Studio into practical, feasible installations for location shoots around the World. Storm's tenacity to realise the 2D designs into an actual 3D dimensional form as close as possible to it's portrayed scale, and photographed on location in natural light, was his trademark and testament to the truly distinctive images with which music lovers are familiar  today. No computer Imagery - something we as model & prop makers held true to our hearts and respected.

Every brief, a logistical and pragmatic conundrum - sometimes working to modest budgets, short timeframes and often overcoming high winds and other locational challenges. The work of Storm remains iconic and instantly recognisable. Many of the world's largest Bands still see it as a right of passage to have their album designed by Storm Studios.

Never scared to show explicit inspiration from the works of Magritte, Kandinsky or Picasso, his work is exhibited around the globe to this day, recognised as Works of Art in their own right. Appropriate then, not to have been straightforward to achieve. The results speak for themselves and remain some of the most renowned album covers in history, and also some of the fondest work of our careers.
