Ruth Guest is a photographer, multi-disciplinary creative, cyberpsychologist and strategist whose work explores human connection, identity, time, and society’s evolving relationship with technology. Drawing from over two decades of experience across photography, music, painting, creative direction, and psychology, her practice bridges visual storytelling with a deep interest in how we relate to ourselves, to each other, and to the systems that shape us.

She is the founder of Sersha, a social impact game designed to help pre-teens and their families better understand and navigate their relationships with mobile phones and social media. Built from her research in Cyberpsychology, the project raised over €150,000 in funding and was co-developed with educators, psychologists, and teens. Ruth holds a first-class MSc in Cyberpsychology, with a thesis exploring TikTok’s influence on self-concept clarity and online identity. She regularly shares reflections on these themes in her blog.

Currently, Ruth works as a Senior Client Solutions Manager at LinkedIn, while continuing to document daily life and social landscapes through photo essays, writing, and video. Alongside this, she founded The Construct. This is an IRL meetup exploring the intersection of psychology, technology, and spirituality and philosophy. Themes include self-presentation and perception, AI and digital intimacy, and the evolving experience of being human in an online world.

Through acclaimed projects and publications like Humans of Dublin, We’ve Lost Dancing, and Rise of the Streets, Ruth brings a observational style to themes of community and how we connect (or disconnect) in an overstimulated world.
