Storch, son of the Kjerter pastor Hannibal Samuel Storch (1775–1817) and his wife Eleonore Christine, née Kamp (1772–1849), studied at the University of Copenhagen and began training in theology in 1823, which he completed in 1830 when he reached the priesthood, which he never took on, however. From an early age on artistic inclinations and drawn to drawing, he studied painting at the Royal Danish Art Academy . In 1828 he made his debut at the annual exhibition in Charlottenborg Palace with the historical painting Oscars Død ( Oscars Death ) . Wilhelm Bendz and Albert Küchler were among Storch's artist friends at that time .

With his cousin Gjertrudmine Claudine Kamp (1811-1881), whom he married on March 20, 1832 in Balslev , he traveled to Dresden in 1832 , where he created a portrait of the painter Johan Christian Clausen Dahl in the same year and in 1833 his son Oscar Paolo Samuel, who would later become a medic. In 1834 the daughter Marie Eleonore was born. From 1835 to 1844 Storch lived with his family among German and Danish artists in Munich . The daughter Anna Emilie Theodora was born there in 1839. In what was then the suburb of Schwabing , Storch's apartment formed the center of a small colony of Danish artists called "Europeans", which also included Christian Andreas Schleisner , Christian Holm and Niels Simonsen . When the Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen left Munich on a trip to Italy in the summer of 1841 , they organized a farewell party for him. In Munich, Storch also belonged to the art association.

The Danish King Christian VIII , for whom he had painted the painting Venus of the Graces and Cupids in 1843 , financed a study trip to Italy for him. From 1844 to 1845 Storch lived in Rome , where on May 2, 1844 he took part in the “Cervarofest” of the Ponte Molle Society . After that the family lived in Munich again at least until 1851. Storch visited Paris in 1849 . In 1852 at the latest he returned to Copenhagen with his family. There he became a member of the art academy and mainly carried out portraits. In 1852 he created a portrait of the poet Hans Christian Andersen , in 1855 he painted the Danish King Friedrich VII. As a respected artist he was a member of the permanent selection committee of the Charlottenburg exhibitions. From 1857 to 1860 he served on the board of the Kunstforeningen , the Copenhagen Art Association. In 1867 he portrayed the Danish King Christian IX.
