Tímea Kovács

Tímea Kovács is a Hungarian-born documentary photographer based in the Netherlands. Her early work focused on cinematic visuals and portraits, but she shifted toward activism photography to better reflect her values, documenting movements such as Extinction Rebellion and Free Palestine.

She found the perfect fit at Camp Beagle, where all her passions converge – veganism, animal rights, direct action, and a community of dedicated dog lovers. Camp Beagle is the world's longest-running animal rights protest camp, located outside MBR Acres – a UK puppy breeding facility that supplies beagle dogs to toxicology labs. Drawn by this unique combination, Tímea regularly travels to the UK with her dog to document the daily lives of the protesters. Rather than focusing on images of animal suffering, her photography highlights the determination and daily reality of those who resist. Her work asks: What happens – in activism and photography – when we stay? Can long-term presence, and the stories it reveals, reach further than a single day of action or protest snapshots?

She is currently completing a documentary photo book on life at Camp Beagle – both to raise awareness and to document a living piece of animal rights history as it unfolds along the roadside.
