Christy Achen

Grounded in real-world experience, I lean into both my technical knowledge and artistic tendencies when producing media. I began practicing photography by capturing the people, animals, and landscapes around me in rural U.S.A., surrounded by cows and open, expansive spaces. I consider my knowlegde of animal handling, farming, and machinery as one of my greatest assets in my work. My approach is to find originality no matter how unassuming or familiar it may all seem.
