Johanna Henriksson is a Swedish photographer and writer working in the intersection of environmental journalism, science, art and long-term visual storytelling.
With a background in biology she combines photography and text to explore environmental issues, sustainable development, ecological transformation and memory – always with the human story at the heart of her work.
Through both commissioned and independent work, her projects often emerge from extended research processes and move between documentary practice, visual essays, and science-based narratives.
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. She holds a Master’s in Biology from Stockholm University.
