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 across 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 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. My 2025 project Gulf of Mexico Bar for Tecate Light was recognized at the Cannes Lions, an experience that deepened my drive to blend strong concepts with a textured, tactile aesthetic. I’m also a featured photographer on Production Paradise, where my work continues to reach international creative networks.

​

Whether I’m in studio with carefully controlled lighting or on location under natural elements, I’m driven by clarity of concept and an honest, sensory 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.

 

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.
