Color compressed into a pixel.
Decompressed in your hands.
Every color in Unichrome is sampled from a real-world object — a silo at low tide, a weathered brick wall, a flower that won’t bloom again next year. We pull the true color through our own process, then photograph the thing it came from so the color never loses its source.
The prints are made at a local shop close to where the color was collected. About sixty cents of every dollar spent locally stays local. That matters to us.
Color comes from the object, not the photograph.
I sample color from the thing itself — a petal, a weathered board, the iron on a century bridge. The photograph sits beside the color as a witness to the place, not as the source. That distinction is the whole archive.

Let's carry them further.
We're building an archive of colors sampled from real places and translated into local print. If your shop, studio, or community wants to carry part of it — or you'd like to join me on a stretch of road — reach out.
