My name is Avia Gurman Murphy

Creative portrait with styling and subtle movement, Avia Gurman photographyBased in East Clare, Ireland, I am a passionate photographer and interdisciplinary artist dedicated to capturing moments that tell a deeper story. With a background in visual arts, performance, and media, my work is a fusion of artistic expression and personal connection.

My photography journey began as a fascination with the camera’s ability to reveal hidden beauty, leading me to complete an Advanced Media and Photography diploma at Limerick College of Further Education.

My approach to photography is immersive and intuitive, blending artistic vision with a meditative, ritual-like process. Inspired by diverse cultural influences and spiritual traditions, I create images celebrating self-expression, empowerment, and authenticity. Whethercapturing portraits, creative projects, or unique moments, I aim to provide an experience that is both transformative and deeply personal for my clients.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to self-love, body positivity, and meaningful human connections. I believe in using photography as a tool for storytelling, reflection, and empowerment, inviting my clients to see themselves in a new light. 

Through my lens, I strive to create images that are not only visually striking but also filled with emotion, intimacy, and beauty.
