Mikael Jansson height - How tall is Mikael Jansson?

Jansson photographed Iggy Pop in 2010 for a book project Iggy Pop, published by Gun Gallery in 2011.

By the early 90s, Jansson had moved to Paris and established his career as an international fashion photographer working for magazines such as French Glamour, British Vogue, Italian Vogue, Numero, Arena Hommes Plus and Stockholm New, a magazine Jansson helped pioneer. It was during those years that he started a long-term collaboration with stylist Karl Templer, who, in a 2008 interview for French GQ, stated that Jansson's talent was "limitless".

His interest in racing lead him to follow the Formula 1 circuit around the world, from 2003-2006 and resulted in a book titled Speed of Life, published by Steidl in 2007 with text by fashion historian Ulrich Lehmann. An exhibition was held for the book's launch at Kulturhuset, in Stockholm.

Jansson's self-titled book, Mikael Jansson, a retrospective of his earlier works, was published by Beaufort Press in 2000. Writer and journalist Claes Britton wrote in the foreword: “His visual expression is blessed with a rare virtue in modern photography: timelessness.”

Jansson garnered international attention in 1998 when he published a nude portfolio in Dutch, then considered by industry insiders the leading avant-garde magazine. The feature spanned 82 pages and included fashion credits to nude images in a nod to Andy Warhol.

In 1987 Jansson returned to Stockholm and set up his own studio and darkroom, which maintains his archive today.

Jansson grew up in Stockholm, where he was born. In the 1970s and early 80s, Jansson photographed popular bands coming to Stockholm behind the stage and in VIP areas, such as Blondie, Roxy Music, Iggy, Bowie and the Clash, as well as musicians Chet Baker and Miles Davis. He then took on an assistant role with Swedish photographer Carl-Johan Rönn, where he received an education in the works of Stieglitz, Brassaï, Cartier-Bresson, Kerstész and Lartigue. Five years thereafter, he moved to New York to assist Richard Avedon during the time Avedon was working on In the American West.

Mikael Jansson (born July 15, 1958) is a Swedish fashion photographer and director. Jansson regularly contributes to publications such as American and French Vogue, Interview Magazine as well as photographing campaigns for luxury brands such as Estée Lauder, Coach, Calvin Klein and Louis Vuitton.
