About the Photographers

Born and raised in Peru, Alberto Lara grew up in the perfect environment to become a tireless
traveler. His dad worked in remote areas in the Peruvian Andes, in the mining industry,
which required the family to regularly travel deep into the mountains. Exposed to the
beauty and magic of Peru’s mountain regions, Alberto gained an appreciation for these
areas at an early age. Alberto’s dad had his first motorcycle (Honda C50) when he was a teenager, and when Alberto turned 12, his dad bought him a 50cc scooter, which he rode until he was 17. Alberto came to Canada at the age of 23 searching for new experiences and challenges. Five years later, he met Naomi, his partner in life. Through her, Alberto was reintroduced to the world of two wheels. Naomi also influenced his decision to get a motorcycle, but also taught him how to operate a proper motorbike. Photography was one of the hobbies he developed while in Canada. Combining his passion for traveling, the incomparable thrill he gets from riding motorcycles, and his sharp eye for photography was a spontaneous occurrence.

Naomi Tweddle was born in Victoria, Canada, and grew up in a small island community
in the Southern Gulf Islands. She still calls Canada home, currently living in the beautiful
province of British Columbia. From an early age, Naomi was exposed to motorcycles as
her parents took her and her sister on bike trips aboard their ’78 Triumph Bonneville and
’73 Honda CB. She started riding motorcycles at the age of 16. When motorcycle adventure travel became a thing, Naomi was naturally drawn to the idea and it became a passion of hers. Naomi has documented her travels spanning over 100,000 kilometers and 12 countries through blogging and photography and continues to pursue travel opportunities riding motorcycles. She has curiosity for the unknown, for the challenge, and to see new places, both near and far from home. For her, there is something new lurking around every corner.
