UpCountry (2021)
Lisa Kachajian is an American photographer, born in New York City and raised in New Jersey. Her work explores the intersections of music and the natural world, capturing fleeting, contemplative moments during recording sessions and in rural landscapes, all through a dream-like lens.
Her long-term projects focus on the rhythms of daily life in the recording studio, where she illuminates the act of making music with intimate portraits of musicians, alongside behind-the-scenes shots, offering a nuanced view of the creative process.
Her depictions of rural life serve as a poignant reminder of its diminishing relevance, emphasizing its value before it disappears and challenging the relentless march of progress.
With a deep appreciation for storytelling, Kachajian is currently engaged in independent projects and is available for assignments, commissions, and exhibitions. Her camera is a notebook, a daily journal capturing moments of inspiration and observation.
Limited edition prints are available through her studio.
