Medjber decided to pursue a career in photography at the age of 14. Years later the DIT graduate is taking on the biggest names in the business.
Irish music photographer Ruth Medjber commemorates ten years in music photography with the exhibition Ruthless: A Decade of Live Music Photography. Ruthless Imagery has added an array of artists to their portfolio over the years including Dua Lipa, Jay Z, Metallica and Grace Jones.
Medjber has also captured Irish talents All Tvvins, Ham Sandwich and Le Galaxie, and is the official photographer of Electric Picnic.
Ruthless: A Decade of Live Music Photography provides an inside in-depth look into the music industry. Medjber captures the essence of the artists in her work and this exhibition will showcase never before seen images. In such a digitally-focused era it will be interesting to witness the artists in action.

At home in Dublin you can find Medjber in her studio, where she creates album artwork and photography for local musicians. She’s also passionate about promoting gender balance in the music industry; indeed, her acclaimed portrait series ‘Women of Notes’ celebrates Ireland’s talented wealth of female musicians.
