Johannah’s photographic work focuses on telling stories about people’s lives shaped by the connection to ourselves and to each other. Moving between portraiture and documentary, her practice is characterised by an emotional exploration of what it is to be human. Her central concerns are people, wellbeing, connection and belonging, continually drawing from her own life and experiences working in healthcare. Her most known bodies of work draw attention to the emotional complexities of ‘care’ and its impact on the carer. Her work has contributed to many publications such as the Financial Times, the Telegraph, the Guardian and the British Journal of Photography, among others. Her work has been exhibited widely and is held by the National Portrait Gallery, the Wellcome Collection and Sunderland Winter Gardens among others. Her internationally recognised portrait of Melanie March, 2020 has become synonymous with the coronavirus pandemic.
