Lara was born in 1997 in New Haven, CT, and spent their early childhood in their mother’s home city of Buenos Aires until 2001. The financial crisis caused them to come back to the United States. Today, they find themself constantly fascinated and concerned for the American people. Especially the ones who are ignored; many of their subjects were fellow vagrants they met while living in their car and traveling back and forth across the states.
In Argentina they shot photos of their father's farm on their trip to meet him for the first time. They also documented queer rave spaces during the rise of Milei in 2022.
Currently they live in Queens, New York and photograph pigeons. They host guerrilla art shows for young photographers in various improvised venues: uhauls, laundromats, empty apartments.
They grapple a lot with where to fit their work into -- its somewhere between documentary, conceptual, and sacred art. They maybe cross too many personal boundaries to be a photojournalist. Their subjects are their God.
