About Timur Bek

Author

Timur Bek

Street & portrait photographer

Shooting streets since 18. Lens is a gallery, not a feed: series of 12–24 frames, short captions, EXIF open. Worked with local press and museums; sells limited-edition prints. Believes one strong frame beats a hundred average ones.
