Who Have a Story Worth Telling


I'm Eva Johansen, a brand and portrait photographer based in Carmel, Indiana, working across the country. At Fokus Photography, I help you build a visual identity..


A BACKGROUND UNLIKE ANY OTHER PHOTOGRAPHER'S


I grew up in Sweden and discovered photography in high school, I spent hours in the darkroom, developing film and hand-crafting prints. That foundation in light, shadow, and composition has never left me. In my early career, I worked in fashion across Europe and New York City, spending years on both sides of the camera and learning what it takes to make someone look and feel their absolute best.


The experience of understanding how to direct, how to read light, how to put people at ease  is what I bring to every session. When you work with me, you're working with someone who has spent decades studying what makes a photograph feel true.


BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY


Whether you're a personal brand client building your first website, a founder refreshing your executive presence, or a boutique business in need of cohesive content for social media and marketing — I create images that do the work of communicating who you are before you say a word.


I specialize in portrait and branding  photography for clients who want something elevated, intentional, and distinctly theirs. My sessions are available on-location throughout the Indianapolis area and for destination clients nationwide.


PORTRAIT WORK ROOTED IN AUTHENTICITY


My portrait work begins with connection. I'm not interested in stiff, posed images — I want to capture you as you actually are: confident and real. My approach is collaborative and relaxed. We'll talk through your goals, your brand, and how you want to show up in your imagery before I even pick up the camera.


The result?

Photos you'll actually use  because they look like you,  just a bit more polished.


FOKUS PHOTOGRAPHY, FOUNDED 2015


Since launching Fokus Photography in 2015, I've remained committed to a boutique, high-touch experience with personal attention from the first inquiry through the final delivery. You'll never feel like a number in a busy studio. Every detail of your session is planned with intention, and every image is delivered with care.



 

 


"Something I've noticed after working with, and looking at, imagery for many years ~

personal beats perfection. Every single time.”

My philosophy

I believe in thoughtful and considered collaborations

 

Authenticity cannot be posed. It can only be invited. My work ~ all of it, the planning, the direction, the conversation before the camera ever comes out ~ is one long, careful invitation for you to arrive exactly as you are.
