Hi, I’m Cosimo Salvati — an Italian photographer based between Mexico City and Rome. I specialize in advertising still life, fashion, lifestyle, and travel photography, with a strong focus on visual storytelling for brands in both editorial and commercial contexts. My background in Art Direction from the European Institute of Design shaped my instinct for composition, lighting, and the emotional undercurrent of images — skills I now bring into every shoot I lead.

Over the years, I’ve developed campaigns and visual content for clients including American Eagle, GQ Latin America, Lucas, Tecate Light, ExxonMobil, Bic, Tequila Patrón and more. Whether I’m working in studio with carefully controlled lighting or on location under natural elements, I’m driven by clarity of concept and an honest, tactile approach to image-making.

My process is hands-on and collaborative, often working closely with production houses, agencies, and brands to shape not just a photograph, but an atmosphere — a piece of visual language that fits seamlessly into a broader narrative. I enjoy the precision of still life as much as the unpredictability of travel work, and I thrive in environments that demand both structure and intuition.

In addition to commercial work, I continue to explore personal projects that blur the line between documentary and art direction, often rooted in human stories and design aesthetics.

What types of photography do you specialize in?

I specialize in still life and lifestyle fashion photography. My work is particularly focused on high-end still life for interior design objects and commercial product and fashion photography, as well as food and drink photography through my studio, Bizzarri Studio.
Where are you based, and do you travel for shoots?

I’m based in Mexico City but frequently travel to Rome for projects. I am available for shoots in both locations and open to working internationally.
How can I book a session with you?

You can reach out through my website's contact form, email, or direct message via Instagram. I usually schedule a preliminary call to understand your needs and define the creative direction before confirming a booking. Also, frequently I work through advertising agencies and production companies based in Mexico or International.
What is your pricing structure?

Pricing varies depending on the project’s scope, licensing, and production requirements. I offer customized quotes based on the specifics of each shoot.
Do you offer custom packages?

Yes, I tailor each project to fit the client's vision, whether it's a full-scale commercial production or a more intimate editorial shoot.
How far in advance should I book a session?

For commercial and editorial projects, it’s best to book at least 2–4 weeks in advance. For larger productions requiring set design or complex logistics, more time may be necessary.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Cancellations with less than a week’s notice may incur a fee, depending on the project’s preparation and production costs. Rescheduling is possible depending on availability.
What should I prepare for my photoshoot?

For product and still life photography, ensuring items arrive in pristine condition is key. For fashion and portrait sessions, wardrobe and styling should align with the creative direction. I provide guidance on preparation for each shoot.
Do you provide styling or creative direction?

Yes, I offer full creative direction, and I also collaborate with stylists, art directors, and set designers when needed to achieve the best results.
Do you offer location scouting services?

Yes, I can assist in scouting locations for fashion and lifestyle shoots.
How long does a typical session last?

It depends on the project. Still life and product shoots can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day, while editorial and fashion shoots often require a full-day or multi-day schedule.
Do you provide guidance on posing?

Yes, for portrait and fashion photography, I direct models to achieve natural, compelling compositions that align with the creative vision.
Can I bring props or specific items for the shoot?

Absolutely! For still life, food, or product photography, relevant props can enhance the final images. I can also source and style props as needed.
Can I have someone accompany me to the session?

For fashion and portrait sessions, bringing a stylist or assistant is welcome if it helps the process. However, a controlled set is always preferable to maintain focus.
How long does it take to receive the final images?

Delivery times vary based on the complexity of the post-production process. Typically: Fashion & Portrait: 7–14 days Still Life & Product: 10–20 days Food & Drink (BST Vision): 7–14 days Expedited delivery can be arranged if necessary.

Do you provide RAW files?

I don’t typically deliver RAW files, as the final images include professional retouching. However, for specific commercial agreements, RAW files can be provided at an additional cost.
Can I post the photos on social media?

Yes, as long as the agreed-upon usage terms are respected. Proper credit is appreciated for editorial and portfolio collaborations.
