Queen photo sessions with George Hurrell

Recently working on the artwork for my project I analysed all available photos made by Queen with George Hurrell for 'The Works' album. There 's a lot of them... and here are several conclusions... There were two photo sessions: The first one is the most famous from the end of 1983. A lot of photos from it were used for various official releases. The second session was made probably in the beginning of 1984 (speculation). John's photo from this session was used for 'The Works' back sleeve. Strangely enough that John's photo was used from different photo session to other members, and in addition it was placed not in the same raw with other members. Roger used his photo from this session on the inner sleeve of 'Strange Frontier' album. Freddie's photo appeared in 'The Solo Collection' set in 2000 for thefirst time and then on 'The Great Pretender' photo album in 2012. Unfortunately I haven't seen Brian's photo from this session. Several years ago photo of the band from this session appeared on QOL.COM site. SESSION 1:

SESSION 2: If someone can provide any interesting information or some NEW photos for this page, you are welcome... THANKS TO ALL CONTRIBUTORS

These are great. Thanks!

I liked these sessions as they all looked like it was a sunday night and they'd had a bath ready for school on Monday and were just getting ready for bed.

Just finally found band photo from Session #2. Updated.

Hi, I guess you have seen this one already...

Oh thanks! Just forgot about this one...

Fred looks so effing gay. Roger looks so effing beautiful. John's hair looks so effing ridiculous. Brian looks like he is thinking about how much money he is making.

I think John patterned his head and hair here after E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL.

Oh. Joking aside, fantastic research! Wonder how you got the dates

This is nothing special? I think everyone has seen them allready

Nice! Hadn't seen some of them.

This is actually a great thread - thanks ! Never seen all these photos in one place. And a couple of them are new to me.

Hi, if you look at milan 84 posters and tickets you can notice a sort of "surprise", there is another take from same photo session of "the works" album cover. i have found this photo only in italian memorabilia from works tour 84.

What do you think about? is it used somewhere or only in these examples?

Hi CMI, Some more... * edited; some photos removed to keep this thread 'clean' *

Thanks for this find, but it seems to me the photo is the same. Only Roger's head was doctored (rotated) for some unknown reason... I can't find more differences.

Only Brian's individual photo is unique but very cropped. If you will look carefully you'll find that all others are cropped from the photos above. I just added Brian's photo to the main post. So It'll be great if you will leave only Brian's (+Freddie's) photo in your post for a better look. Thanks.
