UpCountry (2021)

Lisa Kachajian is an American photographer born in New York City and raised in New Jersey. Her work explores the intersection of music and nature, capturing fleeting, contemplative moments during recording sessions, and through a dreamlike lens, the evocative rural landscapes and intimate moments of farm life, a way of life rooted in routine and resilience.

Her long-term projects focus on the rhythms of the recording studio, revealing the creative process through unscripted moments, intimate portraits of musicians, and behind-the-scenes glimpses. The photographs offer a nuanced perspective on music-making and the artistic labors of shared creative expression.

Kachajian’s portrayal of rural life in the suburbs reflects its quiet disappearance. Her photographs draw attention to our bond with the land, the role of nature in daily life, and its enduring value.

With a deep commitment to visual storytelling, she continues to pursue independent projects and is available for exhibitions, commissions, and assignments. For Kachajian, the camera serves as a daily journal, an instrument of observation, memory, and meaning.

Limited edition prints of her work are available through her studio.
