Ruth Medjber, a Dublin native with a global reach, embarked on her photographic journey at the tender age of three when her father gifted her a plastic camera. As she pursued an honours degree in Photography at Dublin Institute of Technology, Medjber opened her first portrait studio in the heart of Dublin. Combining her love of live music and passion for photography, Medjber quickly made a name for herself in the industry, working with prominent magazines like Hot Press, Rolling Stone, and NME. Her dynamic portfolio features iconic images of Grace Jones, Beyoncé, Metallica, and the Foo Fighters, and includes extensive coverage of the Glastonbury Festival for the BBC.

Currently, she is on a worldwide tour photographing Hozier. In 2020, as the music industry came to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Medjber turned her lens to a new project titled “Twilight Together,” capturing intimate portraits of people through their windows at twilight. This series, now published as a book by Penguin, has become one of the defining portrait collections of our time. Ruth loves the smell of darkroom chemicals, hates tinnitus, and until the age of five, believed her father saw the world in sepia tones due to his darker Algerian complexion.

Medjber Pronounced: Medj (like “hedge”) Ber (like “teddy”).
