Welcome to our 16th edition of the “In the Spotlight” series.

This is Jürgen Horn’s story:

My name is Jürgen Horn and I was born in 1976 in Darmstadt, Germany. I graduated at 19 years of age with a business degree, subsequently, I did my obligatory community service at the Blood Donation Services in Frankfurt (Zivildienst) and afterwards had the option of going back to work for the insurance company once again.

But if I learned one thing during my time of acquiring that degree, it was that this was not the kind of work I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

So I became an Au Pair in Boston, USA and decided to stay on in order to get a photography degree from the New England School of Photography. I graduated with two honours.

This is where I met Mike. My visa was due to expire very soon, so we decided to move to Berlin where we then got married. From this point onward we became totally independent and started our first websites.

Not too long afterwards we moved then to Killala, Co Mayo in Ireland, which is a tiny town of maybe 100 people with 9 pubs. However, after 1 ½ years, we got fed up with the weather and moved to Valencia, Spain.

In 2010 we came up with the “For 91Days” concept. Since then we have been travelling and tend to stay in each country for the maximum time period allowed on a holiday visa i.e. 90 days. When we are not travelling Valencia, Spain is our home.

I am sure all of you are curious to know what photography gear I use: well here it is! I use a Sony A7 with the kit lens and ef zoom lens 70-200mm f/4 l usm, and that is it! I try to travel light
