"The Pitt"
Cinematographer: Johanna Coelho

Joanna is the cinematographer behind one of the best new shows of 2025.
Her unique vision, approach and work help drive this action packed show.

Featured in 2018 in Variety as one of the Up Next generation of filmmakers, Johanna has worked as a cinematographer on a number of diverse projects, including award-winning narrative films, music videos, and TV Shows. She has worked with renowned companies such as Netflix, ABC, Oxygen Network, Hello Sunshine, Scout Productions, MarVista Entertainment, and Hawaiian Tropics. Her last feature film And Then There Was Eve won the Jury Award at the L.A Film Festival. Her recent work includes the TV Shows The Rookie S2 and S4 on ABC, and Killer Siblings on Oxygen Network.

Johanna was born and raised in France. Seeking to enrich her European approach with the American perspective, she moved to Los Angeles in 2011 where she studied cinematography at the prestigious American Film Institute. She has been passionate about creating and experimenting with meaningful images since a very young age. Her early determination and drive for cinematography has led her to be one of the youngest cinematographer to ever shoot network television.

She loves to say she is a visual psychologist: her role is to understand and interpret the emotions of the characters, to create for them the best visual atmosphere to act in.
