Johanna Henriksson is a freelance photographer and writer based in Stockholm, Sweden. Her main focus is on assignments for organizations and magazines.
In parallel with the shorter assignments Johanna engage in long term photographic documentary and arts projects. With a passion for all kinds of storytelling, not only visual, she also writes with great pleasure and on occasion films and edit video.
Armed with a Master’s in Biology, she often delves into environmental issues, sustainable development, and science – always with the human story at the heart of her work.
Johanna studied photography at the Nordic School of Photography Biskops Arnö, Konstfack / College of Arts, Crafts and Design, HDK-Valand and journalism at Poppius School of journalism.
