Lev Tsimring's passion for photography originates in Russia where he spent the first 30 years of his life. Since 1992 he is based in San Diego, USA. In his "day life" he studies physics of nonlinear phenomena and patterns at UCSD. In his art, he studies "patterns of life" with his camera. Until the advent of the digital era, he was working mostly in traditional 35 mm color and black-and-white technique printing in his own darkroom. Today he is shooting both color and B/W with a digital camera and makes his own limited edition prints. His artistic interests range from abstract photography to still life, portrait, and landscape, but in the last few years he is more and more attracted to street photography in which he enjoys capturing fleeting moments of beauty, humor, and love in everyday life. Lev travels extensively throughout the world, and through his photography he tries to understand and communicate the spirit of the place and the people. One of his photographic series, "The other America", which was exhibited at the Russian museum of photography in 2006, immerses us in the wonderful world of South America and its amazing culture. His photo-essay "Lacrosse, the Universe" received a Honorable Mention at the prestigious "International Photography Awards" competition in 2009. He received a Honorable Mention at the WPGA's 2010 Pollux Awards competition for his photo of Shanghai skyline. Both in 2011 and 2012 his photos were nominated for the Black and White Spider Awards, and in 2012 he was named Spider Fellow.
Lev Tsimring is a member of the La Jolla Art Association. His photos are featured on  and Digital Photography Challenge.
In 2005, Lev Tsimring published a collection of his photos in a coffee-table book "Through my eyes" (DEKOM, 2005).
