The book includes his portraits, backstage moments, live performances, post-performance highs and lows, and outtakes. Neal’s photographs vibrate with a palpable and inimitable intensity.
This official book, produced in collaboration with the band, features over 200 images and is an exciting journey through their years on tour together. It’s the first time Preston and Queen have combined this work into one volume.
Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin is the first and only official coffee table book to be published in direct collaboration with the band. The book contains over 300 images by international photographers – many of them shown here for the first time.
In addition to the history of the Lightpower Collection, the illustrated book “In the Eye of the Rock’n’Roll Hurricane” mainly contains almost all Neal Preston photos from the Limelight Gallery collection and fascinating stories about his life and work.
Lightpower was founded in Germany in 1978 as a Lighting Rental Company. Today Lightpower is an internationally established distribution company for stage and studio lighting. The Lightpower Collection emerged from a corporate culture that has grown over many years. It consists of photographs and original album cover artwork from many of the greatest photographers and artists.
Well over 100,000 visitors viewed the Limelight Gallery’s exhibitions and experienced the DNA of Rock’N’Roll up close.
Neal Preston’s rock ‘n’ roll photography is the exposed heart of this collection and consists of over 70 large-format original fine art prints. Preston’s archive is one of the most extensive in the world and includes every major artist in rock history. These images are currently being exhibited on a world tour. Most recently they were at the High End Show Munich, Tilburg, NAMM Show in Anaheim, at the Stage | Set | Scenery exhibited in Berlin and Sweden.
Legendary photographers such as Bob Gruen, Michael Zagaris, and Henry Diltz are also part of the Lightpower Collection portfolio. Chris Floyd and Kai Schäfer have joined the collection and are adding to it.
Fine art prints and high-quality illustrated books can be purchased online and offline from the Limielight Gallery.
The Lightpower Collection operates the Limelight Gallery with currently two showrooms in Paderborn and Frankfurt am Main. The Limelight Gallery team also develops exhibition concepts and is happy to make the works available for events.
Proceeds from exhibitions and sales of fine art prints and books benefit foundations such as “Behind the Scenes”, “Backup–The Technical Entertainment Charity” and #handforahand.
