Storm Thorgerson

Storm Thorgerson (born 1944 in elements. He often places objects out of their traditional contexts, especially with vast spaces around them, to give them an awkward appearance while highlighting their beauty. To quote Thorgerson, "I like photography because it is a reality medium, unlike drawing which is unreal. I like to mess with reality...to bend reality. Some of my works beg the question of is it real or not?" Taken by Storm: The Art of Storm Thorgerson , ''Music Box'', October 2004, Volume 11, #10 Several books have been devoted to surveying Thorgerson's work over three-plus decades.
