About

Lisa Kachajian is an American photographer based in the New York City metropolitan area. Born in New York City and raised in northern New Jersey, she developed an early sensitivity to place, routine, and the patterns of everyday life. Seasonal visits to nearby farms informed her long-term interest in rural landscapes and traditions, while early study of piano and ballet continues to shape her attention to rhythm, gesture, and movement.

Through long-term photographic projects, Kachajian explores rural environments, farm life, and traditions shaped by the land, returning to the same subjects over time to observe gradual shifts and the accumulation of detail within ordinary moments.

Her work also includes photographs made in recording studios, where she explores the relationship between musicians, performance, and the creative process, observing moments of exchange, collaboration, and expression as sound takes shape. She occasionally contributes as a vocalist, with credits including vocalise and vocalise arrangements on a 2022 Grammy-submitted album.

Across her bodies of work, Kachajian is drawn to recurring gestures, relationships between people, animals, and the land, and the structures of daily life. Her practice functions as an ongoing visual record shaped by sustained observation.
