My name is
Michael Johansson, a.k.a. "Micke J".
I am a Swedish photographer,
specialized in rock/pop photography. I was based in
Stockholm for most of my career.
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.
I've had the pleasure to work
with Deep Purple, Europe, Kiss, Guns N' Roses, Ace of
Base, Malmsteen, Sabaton, Hardcore Superstar, Ghost,
Def Leppard, Roxette, Soundgarden, Alice Cooper,
Michael Monroe, Bon Jovi, Faith No More, In Flames,
The Foo Fighters, Metallica, Satyricon, Motley Crue,
Gary Moore... just to name a few.
Besides, I have photographed
nature in the US National Parks and also in Sweden and
France. I will show some of those photographs on this
website in the future. Fine art prints will be
available.
A few years ago I moved to
Provence (South-East of France), where I live with my
wife,
Padz,
also a photographer. We now spend our time
photographing nature and scanning my archives in order
to show them through different media, the main one
being this website.
