Anastasiia Yohansen

I work closely with animals, creating calm and natural portraits that reflect their true personality. With a professional background in animal behaviour and dog training, I understand their language, emotional state, and how to create a safe, relaxed environment. This allows me to work in harmony with each animal’s individual temperament and capture authentic expressions that most people miss.

I also volunteer as a photographer for the local shelter, Stray Paws of Pyrgos, helping dogs find homes through honest imagery.

I photograph using iPhone to maintain a calm, natural, and non-intrusive environment. Without large cameras or lighting equipment, animals remain relaxed, expressive, and fully themselves.

The result is not just a photograph, but an honest reflection of who they truly are.

Anyone can take a picture. My work is to capture presence, personality, and trust.
