Lara Platman is an Ambassador for Leica Camera AG, a Getty contributor and author and photographer of 4 books: Art Workers Guild 125 Years’ (Unicorn Press), ‘Harris Tweed, from land to street’ (Frances Lincoln Publishing) and Photographer for ‘Spirit of Land, the Distilleries of Scotland’ (Frances Lincoln Publishing), also in print is Through the Night, the passion of motorsport as a self - publishing project with Blurb.
For the first two books Lara visited different artists and craftsmen, studios, weavers, sheep farms, tailers, mills, and sorting depots where she photographed and interviewed everyone. After recording all of the people, she then transcribed and edited the words and photographs.
Lara's passion for documenting areas of culture that are often considered to be eccentric or endangered stems from being brought up in a family that produced theatrical costumes; she grew up around creative craftsmen. She trained as a photographer and then a journalist and now combines these two skills to bring an in-depth study to each of her projects. Her overarching ambition is to ensure that Britain's living national treasures are acknowledged by a wider audience.
Lara holds a motor racing license, a bike license and restored her own 1964 Series IIa Land Rover, which is now the daily drive. She became interested in historic motor racing whilst on a commission from Country Life magazine over twenty years ago. This in turn aroused her interest of women of ‘between the wars’ in particular, women with Agency.
