Cosimo Salvati is an Italian photographer based in Mexico City, specialising in still life, fashion, and commercial photography across Latin America and beyond.

With a background in art direction and a sharp eye for composition, his work balances technical precision with a strong visual narrative. In 2025, he shot the Tecate Light — Gulf of Mexico Bar campaign, which went on to win multiple Cannes Lions awards. The project, photographed off the coast of Veracruz, captured the raw energy of the sea in contrast with the bold identity of the brand, becoming a standout example of high-impact advertising from the region.

Cosimo frequently collaborates with agencies and production houses to develop bold, location-driven stories, and is known for creating clean, elevated images that feel both playful and intentional. His practice bridges European design influences with the spontaneity and color of Latin American culture, and he brings that perspective to projects worldwide.
