My name is Michael Johansson, aka “Micke J”.
I am a Swedish photographer, specialized in music photography (metal, rock, pop…).
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.
These days, I’m sharing my time between Stockholm and Southern France. I’ve just started dedicating more and more time to scanning my archives in order to show them through different media, the main one being this website.

You can already order prints of my pics featured on Instagram or Facebook.
