#275: Timofey Abel is originally from Moscow, Russia. He emigrated to the USA with his parents and twin sister at the age of 7. Abel spent most of his childhood and teen years traveling the world, having visited over 35 countries before graduating high school. The culture of art was instilled upon him from a very young age, and paired with his view of the world and independent mindset, Abel pursued photography as a means to express his perspective. He documented the places and people he would see during his travels on 35mm film. Later he began working with modeling agencies. Strongly resonating with the artistic and experimental culture of the late 20th century, Abel began joining forces with fellow artists in creating memorable images. Transitioning from street to portrait photography was a way for Abel to connect with others and introduce his unique approach to visual story-telling, embracing the uniqueness and potential of each individual. Timofey is officially relocating to Atlanta in May of 2024. His “The Middle East” exhibition will take place in November and December, and he’s currently represented in NYC by Only 1 Talent.
