DANA LIŠKOVÁ

I LIVE AND WORK BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND HOLISTICALLY — PROFESSIONALLY AND PLAYFULLY

I’m Dana Lišková — an empathetic photographer, certified coach, and introspective artist with a deep need to perceive things on a profound level. People, relationships, emotions, imagery, symbolism, silence, conversations, and connections. I’m naturally curious. I love exploring new directions and thinking about things that might seem irrational at first glance. I cherish those moments when something “clicks” — a connection, an idea, a sense of inner belonging.I enjoy riding my longboard, occasionally surfing, often painting, and constantly wondering what to create next. I currently live in Prague, though my world is fairly nomadic.

Even though I work across several fields, everything I do is driven by a single intention: To stay honest, sincere, true, and connected to myself — while remaining open, supportive, vulnerable, and authentic with others.I learn through life and evolve in my own way. My personal journey has led me through a dysfunctional family, a children’s home, deep work with trauma, losing and finding myself again, discovering my identity and self-worth, and learning to set boundaries — both with myself and the outside world.

BUT I’M ALSO ENTREPRENEURIAL…

The definition of entrepreneurial mindset according to the European EntreComp Framework: “Entrepreneurship is the ability to identify problems around you and view them as opportunities, to find strength and resources within yourself or your environment to address them, and finally — to take action and bring those solutions to life for others.”In both my work and personal life, I integrate various approaches that resonate with me. Sometimes it’s a conversation, other times a painting. Sometimes a photo shoot, or simply sharing space or listening. In everything I do, I’m most interested in people. Who they are when they’re not playing roles. What they carry within and where they want to grow.I’m naturally drawn to discovering and developing potential — in myself and in others.My vision is also reflected in an emerging project called Artepy, a platform that connects creatives and professionals from helping and therapeutic fields.

WHO I AM? 

…an explorer and creator at heart. I love the unusual and the adventurous. My interests outside of art include longboarding, surfing, painting, self-development and the humanities. I am an artist, photographer, occasional cameraman, editor and co-founder of the creative therapy project www.arthepy.com. 

I currently work in Prague and specialize in portrait and brand photography. I perceive my greatest strength in communication, interpersonal relations, knowing people and creating a pleasant environment for cooperation. My goal and intention is to develop myself so that I can support others who want to discover their potential, transform talents into strengths and learn how to consciously approach their emotions and the emotions of those around them. 

One human story contains a whole universe of experiences, inner processes and splits. The path to our “self” is not always easy, and we all need a guide sometimes.

WHAT MAKES ME CHARACTERISTIC? 

I am a very empathetic and pro-people personality type. From this point of view, I can say that I establish professional-friendly relationships with clients. My profession started as a hobby and I want to work in a relaxed and friendly environment. Just as clients choose me, I choose them. 

Another difference from other photographers can be my several years of active interest in human sciences, psychology and mental health issues. This passion permeates all areas of my life, including my profession. I work with clients very carefully, paying attention to their comfort and naturalness. I often work with people who are new to professional photography, some have shyness, low self-esteem, apprehension and are insecure about posing in front of the camera. I like such clients the most, because it is nice to observe how they warm up during our cooperation. I like to show people how I see them, through my eyes, and how there is something specific and beautiful about everyone. If you are hesitant, don’t be afraid to contact me for a consultation.

LIFE TAUGHT ME GRATITUDE

Sometimes I catch myself thinking that I live an almost shamelessly beautiful life. And with that, I occasionally feel it’s terribly unfair — that I managed to climb out of the pit I was born into, while many never do and just keep struggling.That’s exactly what drives me to lead by example — to show that it is possible. Where there is will, drive, and courage, there is always a way.Through everything I create, I want to add value to society and bring attention to issues we can work on and improve. Artepy is living proof of that — a project where I aim to give opportunities to those who have that drive within them.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN MY CREATION!

Sometimes it may seem like you need a photographer, but in reality, we need YOU to create and do what we love. The truth is that the creator industry depends on client demand. Our work must appeal to someone enough for them to decide to support us in our dreams. Therefore, I thank you for choosing to support my creation. I truly appreciate it.
