IN ENGLISH:

My name is Michael Johansson, aka "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, M tley Cr e, 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 the 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.

For further information, don't hesitate to contact me!
