Spanning nearly 35 years of image-making, ARCHIVE ORIGINALS is the living archive of photographer and director MISTER LYNCH—a collection built with no master plan, just instinct, obsession, and a deep need to document the world.

From the front row of concerts to portraits at bike rallies, pow wows, and even the Vatican, this body of work captures both the raw and the surreal. It honors music legends, underground scenes, overlooked people, and imagined places—held together by a consistent thread of presence, craft, and curiosity.

These weren’t made to be part of an archive. But over time, the images began to speak to each other—and to those who saw them. Now they live in museums, galleries, and private collections, celebrated for their emotional clarity and lasting impact.

This is the archive.
Dive in. Get lost. Find something that finds you.
