Frame life in its best light: Working your way through Stewart Cohen’s portfolio of commercials and stills, you are as likely to see heartfelt testimonials as well as Game Day humor with celebs like Garth Brooks. His campaigns span every conceivable genre: he’s gone swimming with sharks in the Galapagos and come up for air to stage a musical comedy spot in Mansfield, TX. The throughline is seizing the moment to celebrate the joy of life.

Stewart’s company, SC Pictures, serves major clients including American Airlines, AT&T, Coca-Cola, MGM Resorts, and Frito-Lay, with each project hitting exactly the right note for its intended audience. Beyond his skillset, Stewart has earned a reputation as a safe bet willing to take risks. He has taken a similar approach to business. Stewart’s passion for imagery - and near-constant travel, shooting content all over the world - accounts for his early involvement in the licensing arena. In 2019, he purchased SuperStock, which manages 26 million assets spanning still and video assets.

He is also an author, creating a monograph titled Identity, a biopic project featuring well-known and unusual people. Each portrait in the book is combined with their own personally handwritten quotes, expressing their uniqueness and individuality. Stewart’s most recent title, Seeing Red, takes a fun jab at the urban myth of redheads becoming extinct.
