Visual artist with an eye for human centric photography, film, music & diaspora culture.

My process of visual storytelling goes much longer than the dreads on my head. Yeah, quite a long time now. It’s an immersive journey shaped by years of experience. Whether documenting the pulse of a project, the heart of a subject, or the essence of a concept, my work thrives where the action unfolds. With a background in moulding engineering, I bring a unique precision to helping brands and organizations visualize their narratives. Through the lens of my camera, the rhythm of my ancestors, and the frames of my films, I love to craft compelling stories where tradition meets innovation, and personal histories resonate with universal themes.

Am currently operating from Zurich, Switzerland – as travelling all-over Europe has become a basic norm to make things happen. I shoot-to-edit meaning pre-production is of great value to me. I‘m adaptable and swift while on set. Experience over the past years proves my biggest weakness as – not eating enough while at it. You gonna have to remind me of that. Where required depending on the scale of a particular project, I network with fellow professionals from respective fields e.g. scoring, sound design and animation. If you are still reading this big up yourself! I am Yohana Papa, and below is the menu: let us cook!
