Micha Klein was born in 1964 in Harderwijk, Holland.
In 1989, he graduated from the Reitveld Academy in Amsterdam.
Currently, Klein lives and works in Amsterdam.

Micha Klein combines the latest computer and photographic technology to explore the contemporary themes of club culture, fashion, music, and mass media. Klein's digital images combine reality and the virtual world to create fantastical images that are both fanciful and mesmerizing.

In the last years, Klein has based his work on several themes, which he has developed in a number of series, including Virtualistic Vibes, Double Date, Artificial Beauty, Among Elves and Icon, Idol and Fetishes.
