Aaltro
About

An independent practice shaped by observation and editorial thinking.

Aaltro grew from architectural photography and publishing — two disciplines grounded in observation, interpretation and the careful selection of what matters. What began as a way of looking at architecture has evolved into a broader creative and editorial practice.

At its core is an editorial approach: understanding the subject, establishing a point of view and giving it a coherent form. Whether through a book, a visual identity or a communication system, each project begins with the same attention to context and meaning.

Some collaborations remain books. Others develop into identities, visual systems or long-term creative partnerships. The medium changes, the editorial approach remains the same.

Founded by photographer, author and creative director Pedro Cardigo, Aaltro works independently, bringing together specialised collaborators according to the nature of each project. Un altro modo — another way of observing, interpreting and giving form.

Selected collaborations

Aaltro develops projects and collaborations with artists, architects, companies and cultural institutions, across photography, publishing, creative direction and visual communication.
