Color is descriptive; black and white is interpretive. Intentional and evocative, DECHROMA captures the essence of its subjects.
In a world saturated with the ordinary, Dechroma emerges as a beacon of artistry, transcending conventional beauty to paint a vibrant masterpiece on the canvas of individuality.
Hair becomes the medium for expression and character, revealing itself through varied textures, linear shapes, deep shadows, and stark contrasts.
Peel back the layers to reveal the heart of minimalism, conveying emotions that capture the soul of the moment while highlighting the essence of beauty.
DECHROMA
Abstract. Dynamic. Gracious.

Memories made to last a lifetime ❤️ My brother Mark came to stay for 7 weeks. It’s the most amount of time we have spent together since we were kids. We had our first family Christmas together with mum in 33years. We had a truly magnificent time and while we are opposite personalities and lifestyles we are ridiculously close as siblings. I will miss our laughter and reminiscence and will always cherish the memories made together during this visit. Family is everything and I will miss you big brother! 💔 Safe travels back to England ✈️
