Framing Life in its Best Light with Director/Photographer Stewart Cohen

A good number of our Season 7 guests are artists: they're also successful businesspeople who founded and have grown their companies, in some cases over decades. In addition to SC Pictures, Stewart Cohen's dominion includes media licensing via SuperStock and its ever-expanding archives.

Frame life in its best light: Working your way through Stewart Cohen’s portfolio of commercials and stills for clients including American Airlines, AT&T, Coca-Cola, Four Seasons, and Frito-Lay, you are as likely to see heartfelt testimonials as Game Day humor, real people as celebs, with campaigns spanning fashion, kids, sports, wildly diverse storytelling and portraiture... He’s gone swimming with sharks in the Galapagos and come up for air to stage a tongue-in-cheek musical comedy starring the townspeople of Mansfield, TX. They sing about being too busy for tourism. The throughline is seizing the moment to celebrate the joy of life.

In addition to directing and shooting stills through his production company, SC Pictures, Stewart is an increasingly influential player in the licensing arena, beginning with his purchase of SuperStock in 2019. In 2023, SuperStock acquired All Canada Photos, the country’s premier Canada-focused stock images agency, offering a rich imagery and multimedia content collection. That was followed in 2024 by its acquisition of the coveted Classic Stock collection, along with UK architectural archive View Pictures and Seattle-based Danita Delimont Stock Photography, in 2025.
