CityNomix – A monochrome voice from the streets. Culture, design, and discovery through walking, shooting, and writing.

Photomo is run by a Tokyo-based creative collective with a background in digital marketing.
While we remain intentionally low-profile, our day-to-day work involves market research across retail, dining, travel, and international business.
Photomo is a way for us to transform that input into output — capturing inspiration from cities and returning it to the world as curated visual and written content.
