Lara Jo Regan's career as a photographer has been uncommon and diverse, achieving serious acclaim and respect across several disciplines.

With a background in anthropology, journalism, film and fine art, Regan's work combines painterly aesthetics with closely behavioral studies and oblique social commentary, a signature style she has applied to everything from impoverished Appalachians to the rich elite. Her interpretive documentary coverage of American culture has been regularly commissioned and published by the world's leading magazines such as Time, Newsweek, Life, Premiere and Entertainment Weekly, among many others. She is the recipient of many of her field's highest honors, including the coveted World Press Photo of the Year.

Her latest book is titled Dog in Cars.
