Bio

Jaume Llorens was born in Porqueres, near Girona, Catalonia, in 1966. He studied Psychology, though he does not practice professionally in this field. He has been fond of photography since his teenage years.

In 2014, he took part in his first collective exhibition. Since then, the most notable exhibitions he has participated in include solo shows at Espacio Mados in Madrid (2025), the Fundació Valvi in Girona (2022), and the Festival Mirades in Torroella de Montgrí (2021). His most significant group shows include the LensCulture exhibitions at Caelum Gallery (New York) in 2024 and Photo London 2023, a Photolucida collective exhibition at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center (Denver) in 2024, and the OFNI Project at the Valid Foto Gallery in Barcelona in 2019.

Among his awards, he received the Top Pick (2023) and Critics' Pick (2025) at LensCulture Critics' Choice, the Top 50 at Photolucida Critical Mass 2023, the 3rd place (singles) at the LensCulture Black & White Awards 2022, his portfolio 'Deep Inside' being selected at the Barcelona International Photography Awards (BIPA) in 2019, and the 3rd prize in the VI National Photography Competition Canson Infinity (Spain).

Statement

Nature and landscape are the raw materials of my work. I approach them contemplatively, alone and in silence, open to unplanned moments that affect me, whether aesthetically or emotionally.

Although I never appear in my photos, I feel there is a great deal of self-portraiture in them.

Since Covid, I have worked almost exclusively in black and white. I am drawn to simplicity and try communicating with as few elements as possible. Rather than explaining, I try to suggest and leave room for interpretation. There is often a poetic intent, which I hope the viewer will find also.

A significant part of my recent work is based on the juxtaposition of photographs. I find it fascinating how placing two images side by side can create a resonance between them and transform them. It is not just about combining two photographs, but about how elements from each can take on new meanings simply by being placed next to one another.
