SHOTBY.US is a photography duo of artists Lenka Glisníková and Karolína Matušková, who focus on creating visual narratives full of bold colours and unconventional compositions and whose signature style utilises humour. They approach the medium of photography in a relaxed and playful way.
The two artists met while studying at the Creative Photography studio under Michal Kalhous at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music in Ostrava and earned their Master’s degree at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague in the studio of Aleksandra Vajd and Martins Kohout.
SHOTBY.US won the Czech Grand Design Photographer of the Year Award in 2020 and 2023, the Red Dot Design Award in 2023 and ADC Czech Creative Award in 2024.
