I see my role as an observer; to share experience, educate, and communicate the stories that can prompt connection and healthy systems in our world. With a focus on the intersections of humanity and the environments we are a part of, I work to collaborate and listen to authentically convey a story to create change.

I've always been hungry to put myself into new situations with my camera; whether it is rappelling down a cliff, diving with sharks, or maneuvering through a crowded spice market. I would be happy to help capture your story through film or photography; from commercial shoots to documentary.

After growing up in Montana, as a wild child of the woods, Lara Tomov studied filmmaking at Emerson College in Boston, lived abroad in Central America, was based in Los Angeles for a decade, and is now happily back home in Montana. Lara has worked as a camera operator and cinematographer for narrative & documentary films, and television networks such as Travel Channel, Discovery, and National Geographic. Her work has taken her to over 30 countries, and she always appreciates observing how different cultures and communities interact with their landscape. 

 

In 2020, Lara founded the hybrid production company, Stories for Action, which works to spark positive momentum through the power of storytelling, and focuses on content that connects community and environmental well-being. Stories for Action produces short films, a podcast series, and leads Story Workshops. Lara also produces the film series Life in the Land, which shares stories from around Montana that elevate the value in community-guided and holistic approaches within the landscape.

Lara holds a BA in Film from Emerson College and a Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Systems from UCLA. She is also a licensed drone pilot and certified PADI Rescue SCUBA Diver and underwater camera operator.
