About
Hola, I’m Álvaro, and I run Nuevo.Tokyo — a Reductionist Design Studio focused on R&D, Concept, and Vision Design. We’ve collaborated with companies like SONY Mobile, NISSAN Design, and Polaroid on brand and product designs. Our studio thrives on challenging industries with innovative concepts like the VWFNDR camera, and we love partnering with visionaries who aim to humanize technology, just like tonari. We’re always open to new challenges!

Why do you care about photography?
In recent years and with the incredible advance in computational image and AI-assisted photo tools, I feel a bit uneasy foreseeing where this field is heading for the mass population - I would love to know what people love about photography and what do you think you are missing in the current landscape of things where your phone acts as the main or only camera people have. Photography has always been a passion of mine since I realized my father was taking photos of me and my brothers as a child. Although I am a designer by trade, I keep photography protected on the side just for the pleasure of the pure experience of capturing the moment and people I love and admire. I am opening this space to hear your thoughts and sentiment about this field, hopefully, and collectively, we can find links that can lead to a bright future for photography.
