About the author

Johana loves to tell stories. And she’ll tell you that. She blends photography, writing, and visual design into every experience she offers. The goal is something that feels lived-in and sincere. Her approach is intuitive, emotionally attuned, and deeply human. 

She thought writing her bio in third person would sound cooler, but really she’s laughing at herself. When she’s not hosting a breakfast party she’s probably driving somewhere or walking around a downtown district searching for a coffee shop. 


Johana works primarily with 35mm film, Polaroid film, and digital mediums. She favors spontaneity and texture. She gravitates toward projects rooted in intention and warmth: where the goal is not just to be seen, but to be felt. She seeks out a timeless feeling. Something candid, and fun. She likes to think of her work more like floral arrangements. Moments as something you collect and build together, like flowers in a bouquet.

No salt flats were tasted in the making of this image.*

When she’s not shooting or traveling, Johana is probably tending to her houseplants, making a playlist, or enjoying her role as the oldest sister at home — her favorite thing to do.
