Ruthless Imagery

Music photographer Ruth Medjber* was born in Marino, Dublin to Irish/Algerian parents. She graduated from D.I.T. with a BA Hons. in Photography in 2008.

Her work has been exhibited extensively in Ireland as well as Internationally. She photographs mainly for Hot Press magazine, while working from her studios in London and Dublin. Her photography has been featured in the likes of Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, The NME, Rolling Stone, Rock Sound, Terrorizer and Classic Rock among others. Her portfolio includes Metallica, Beyonce, Madonna, Muse, Green Day, Jay Z....and so many more.

Her professional injuries include the time Beck stood on her fingers, and the time Slash smacked her with his guitar – but both later apologized. Ruth (who has been vegetarian since she found out where black pudding came from) was not much of a foodie until recently when she became staff snapper for the delicious food industries magazine, Service!. You can always rely on Ruth to be playing with her food and bossing the head chef around (all in the name of art of course).

Ruth loves the smell of darkroom chemistry, hates tinnitus and until the age of 5 thought that her Father saw in sepia tones (due to his darker Algerian complexion).
