Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G – Iceland
photo production | client: Redmi by XiaomiI was commissioned by Xiaomi to explore Iceland's winter landscape with the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G, focusing on capturing abstract details and textures that reflect my artistic style. By combining ground-level shots with aerial perspectives from a small plane, I tested the capabilities of the 108-megapixel camera to showcase the interplay of light, weather, and texture, revealing the hidden beauty of this ever-changing landscape.

My Experience
I was particularly impressed by the image quality in low-light conditions, such as inside a glacier ice cave or at dusk, even without the use of a tripod. What stood out the most, however, was the remarkable level of detail captured in natural textures like ice, sand, and rock—an aspect that is especially important to me. The device also performed reliably in Iceland's harsh winter climate. Overall, it was a fascinating experience to capture Iceland's winter landscapes through the lens of a smartphone, pushing the boundaries of what is possible and exploring its creative potential.
