Michael Strider
Photographer
KISS/Van Halen/Ted Nugent
Odds are, you’ve seen some of Michael Strider’s photos. Rather than channeling his passion for rock music into a guitar, Strider chose the camera, and for the past twenty years he has been shooting the likes of KISS, Van Halen, Gwen Stefani, Metallica and the list goes on. Strider has found a way to capture the lifeblood of a Rock Star in the climax of his/her performance. He now incorporates the same style in his ever-expanding portfolio of actors, architecture, wildlife and world leaders, as an employee of Getty Images. Rock ‘n Roll is an essence that can be incorporated into any shoot, whether an actor’s headshot or a fashion shoot,” Strider says. His singular aesthetic, and discerning method of photography has guaranteed him a lasting authority in the industry.
