Lara, an ambassador for Leica Camera, is the author and photographer of "Through the Night - the passion of Motorsport", "Spirit of Place: Whisky Distilleries of Scotland", "Harris Tweed: From Land to Street" and "Art Workers Guild 125 Years". She holds a motor racing license, a bike license, restored her own 1964 Series IIA Land Rover, which is now the daily drive, and loves to take on new adventures with it. Her passion for finding a trailblazer and documenting areas of culture that are considered to be eccentric or endangered, stem from being brought up in a family producing theatrical costumes.She trained as a photographer and journalist and now combines these two skills to bring an in-depth study to each of her projects.
