About Michael
Michael Lichter is one of the most iconic photographers in motorcycle culture, known for capturing the spirit of the biker lifestyle for over four decades. He’s been riding and shooting since the late ’70s—starting out on his ’71 Harley-Davidson Shovelhead, which he still owns today.
His big break came in 1979, when Easyriders magazine began publishing his work. By 1981, he was shooting at Sturgis for them, a tradition that continues to this day. Over the years, he’s photographed everything from custom bike builders to legendary motorcycle rallies, while also building a career as a commercial photographer for major brands.

rare insight into the people and machines that define motorcycle culture.
