MJ's "EXPRESS" BIOGRAPHY My name is Michael Johansson, aka "Micke J". I am a Swedish photographer, specialized in rock/pop photography. I was based in Stockholm until recently. I shot my first band back in May 1981. Since 1984 I have been doing this full time. My photographs have been published in thousands of magazines, LP/CD covers, books, etc. all over the world. A few years ago I moved to Southern France, where I live with my partner who is also a photographer. I've just started to dedicate some of my time to scanning my archives in order to show them through different media, the main one being this website. For further information, don't hesitate to contact me! Mon nom est Michael Johansson, mais on me connaît mieux sous le pseudo de "Micke J". Je suis photographe de rock professionnel. J'ai passé la plus grande partie de ma carrière, commencée en 1981, à Stockholm. Mes photos ont été publiées dans des milliers de magazines, sur des centaines de couvertures de disques, de livres, etc. Et ce, à travers le monde entier. Depuis quelques années j'habite dans le Sud de la France, où je vis avec ma partenaire, elle aussi photographe. Je commence à consacrer plus de temps à l'exploitation de mes archives, principalement à les scanner, pour pouvoir les montrer à travers différents médias, le principal étant bien sûr ce site web. Pour toute information, n'hésitez pas à me contacter ! About this website: In the list below you will find most of the artists I have photographed, in alphabetical order. This list is continually being updated with archive material. Eventually there will be photo galleries for each of these gigs and photosessions, and each thumbnail will lead to a gallery featuring many pictures. But currently very few galleries are available. As there are millions of pics to go through, it will take a lifetime or two to get it all done... So feel free to check updates here quite often :-) If you are interested in photographs for official use in magazines, books, documentaries and such, don't hesitate to get in touch and I will let you know what I have as soon as possible.
