Who is Ruth Guest?

With over 20 years of experience in photography, music, creative direction, marketing, and psychology, my journey began in bustling cities like London, Dublin, and Paris, capturing candid moments and telling visual stories through projects like Humans of Dublin.

In 2019, a meditation trip to Nepal reshaped my perspective, inspiring me to integrate spirituality and purpose into my work. This shift encouraged me to embrace my artistic and musical endeavors further. From 2020 onwards, I created two interactive publications: We’ve Lost Dancing, a reflection on Dublin’s nightlife, and Rise of The Streets, documenting the city’s post-pandemic street life.

During the pandemic, I immersed myself in nature in rural Ireland while completing my MSc in Cyberpsychology, graduating with first-class honours. My research explored how we communicate online, focusing on emerging technologies such as AR, photorealistic avatars, and short-form video platforms. My thesis, which examines TikTok’s influence on self-presentation and self-concept clarity, is available for download here.

I also founded Sersha, an educational game designed to help families navigate social media safely. You can see more of Sersha, here.

I offer a unique blend of wedding photography, freelance creative work, and documentary storytelling, capturing timeless, authentic moments. In addition, I support early-stage startups and multimedia projects that align with my passion for art and music.

If my work resonates with you, I’d love to help bring your story to life. Get in touch!
