# About Edward Kot

Edward Kot is a Europe-based Smartphone Sample Photographer creating refined,
cinematic, real-world image samples for mobile brands and creative agencies.

Edward Kot works at the intersection of mobile imaging, street photography, and
real-world visual storytelling.

He translates product briefs, camera features, and marketing objectives into
photographs that actually work - scouting locations, designing shooting routes,
sourcing models, reading light and timing, and making images that communicate
both technical capability and emotional atmosphere.

His photography is grounded in real life, human moments, cinematic atmosphere,
and a refined sense of place.

Since 2022, Edward has created sample photography for dozens of pre-launch
smartphones, including early work for flagship imaging programs such as
Xiaomi x Leica, OPPO x Hasselblad, and realme x Ricoh. His images have been
used in product launch events, offline campaigns, and camera feature showcases.

His work also spans editorial, fashion, and documentary assignments, including
magazine projects and Milan Fashion Week coverage.

Recognition: two Honorable Mentions from the iPhone Photography Awards; one
Honorable Mention from the Xiaomi Imagery Awards.

Based in Milan, Italy. Available for selected assignments across Europe.
