Valokuvaaja / Graafikko Johanna Kivelä

I am Johanna Kivelä — portrait photographer and graphic designer based in Hollola, available for studio sessions and on-location shoots at company premises. Visual storytelling is my passion, and my sensitivity for the small, meaningful moments people carry is at the heart of my work. With ten years of professional experience I have developed a people-focused approach aimed at relaxed, stylish results that help clients look their best without artificiality. Authentic connection is central to how I work: we discuss your needs before the session, set clear expectations, and I create a warm, calm atmosphere in the studio or at your workplace. I gently guide the shoot, allowing expressions and poses to emerge naturally, and capture the moments where personality shines through. The result is a portrait that works both as a personal keepsake and as a professional image for websites, LinkedIn profiles, and marketing materials. My background as a graphic designer adds real value to my portrait photography: I understand composition, colour language and the visual needs of a brand. Practically, this means a portrait is not just a single image but a considered element of a client’s overall visual identity — whether it’s a personal website headshot, a LinkedIn profile photo, or other professional imagery. I handle post-processing carefully in my workflow; retouching is used to enhance natural features without excessive alteration. I favour soft, warm lighting and a clean, timeless style that endures. Clients appreciate my personal approach, flexibility and ability to create a relaxed environment where even those who feel uneasy in front of the camera can be themselves. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Hollola who understands visual storytelling and combines professional skill with a graphic eye, please get in touch. Let’s plan a session together that tells your or your company’s story authentically and impactfully.
