Jan Guth

Jan Guth (b. 1989) is a photographer specialising in documentary photography and (slow) photojournalism through visual storytelling. An alumnus of the VII Academy Masterclass in Arles and the Visual Storytelling Intensive programme at the International Center of Photography in New York, his work focuses on environmental, political, and social issues across both continental and insular Europe, with a particular emphasis on Luxembourg and the Republic of Ireland.

 

A significant milestone in his career was the publication of his first international work in the "1 in 6 by 2030" project. Guth aims to inspire societal change by creating impactful visual stories. Based in the heart of Europe, he benefits from the ability to travel quickly and easily across the continent. Fluent in Luxembourgish, English, German, and French, he is also learning Irish Gaelic. His linguistic skills enhance his ability to communicate and connect with diverse cultures and communities, further enriching his visual narratives.
