John Murray

Widely regarded as Ireland’s leading headshot photographer and trained by the worlds leading headshot photographer Peter Hurley, John is not only an award winning portrait photographer and speaker specialising in Headshots and self awareness education, he is also national director of individual development and training for Junior Chamber International.

With emphasis on the substance of his clients rather than the superficial, his focus is drawing out the personalities
and inner strengths of each person he photographs, giving a sense of who they are to anyone looking on.

Identified as one of his biggest strengths, educating others has always been something John has enjoyed, from teaching while a brand ambassador for Canon, to helping clients understand their stress triggers and the things that are holding them back.
