About

Lisa Kachajian is an American photographer based in the New York City metro 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 training in piano and ballet continues to shape her attention to rhythm, gesture, and movement.

Her photographic work centers on rural environments, farm life, and disappearing traditions. Working on long-term projects, she returns to the same subjects over time, observing gradual shifts and the accumulation of detail within ordinary moments.

Her practice also extends into recording studios, where she photographs the physicality and rhythm of music-making. She occasionally contributes as a vocalist, with credits including vocalise and vocalise arrangements on a 2022 Grammy-submitted album.

Across bodies of work, she 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.
