Hello!
My name is Ruby and I’m a photographer with a love for storytelling.
Authentic, natural, moments that tell a story inspire my work the most, and I am always on the look out for real people who want to share their spark with the world.
I am a quiet but driven person, finding inspiration in the strange and unusual. From mythical creatures to rock and folk music, everything I create has a personal flare.
Uncovering people’s passions and being a part of their journey is what my photography is all about, and I would love to hear what you are all about.
If you want to share your spark, drop me a message and we can tell your story together.
