A conversation, not a résumé.
Jaume Timoner
Photographer and videographer
Why do you photograph things that are so different from one another?
I come from the corporate world, not photography school, so I don’t feel bound to a single genre. Right now, sports and golf make up a large part of my work, but what I look for doesn’t change based on the subject: I keep seeing things the same way, wherever I happen to be.
What do you look for when you lift the camera?
The small details that hardly anyone looks at twice. There is something about golf that fascinates me: all that concentration, that silence before the shot, and then, suddenly, a gesture that slips out amidst all that tension.
Is there anything you would photograph for the rest of your life?
The glances. And the tenderness that appears where you least expect it—amidst the concentration, the competition, even the pressure.
Is there anything you would never photograph?
Violence. It has no place in what I do or in what I want to show of the world.
Do you miss your old profession?
No. Photography has given me something the company never did: freedom, and a way to express myself without the need for words. I’m passionate about it.
When the project calls for it, I work with Xim Enseñat on aerial drone imagery and with Tito Bosch on photography production—bringing over 30 years of professional experience between the two of them.
