Jack Margerison

Stewart Cohen

Stewart was born in Montreal inside an elevator during a snowstorm to an architect dad and an actress mom. Some say that this is how he got his discerning sense of shot design and a love of casting people. Although, none of this ever seemed relevant to him. Working out scenes at the dinner table for a solid 17 years while living at home, definitely left a mark on how he thinks. He gets a charge out of working with people from all walks of life, not only due to his upbringing but mostly due to his innate curiosity in hearing their stories and learning about what makes others tick. It was this curiosity that drove Stewart to create 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 & individuality. Walter Isaacson comments, "Each page will delight you, and also make you think. It’s a treasure.” Likewise, Stewart’s most recent title, “Seeing Red”, takes a fun jab at the urban myth of redheads becoming extinct.

Gene Smirnov

My pursuit of creative expression started with graphic design about 20 years ago, when I spent my free time putting together tangible art pieces, collages as well as layouts in Quark and early Photoshop. That led me to photography which is something that could be emotive and constructive at the same time – bingo! These days I produce photos and videos with and for creative people, thrill seekers and visionaries, as well as regular folk. I'm fascinated by people's stories and their unique perspectives. I find that there is so much to learn from many of the people I meet. I live in the depths of the Philadelphia suburbs with my partner Jess, daughter Anika and two stubborn cats Pablo and Bobbie. I'm often getting my hands dirty in the garden and working on projects in the garage. I'm an avid consumer of podcasts and enjoy much of Spindrift!

Douglas Levy

Call him Doug. It's only "Douglas" because douglevy.com was taken. Doug grew up halfway between Boston and Providence and now lives just north of the city, but, Doug spent six years umpiring professional baseball. So he's not really a huge Red Sox fan. Doug started umpiring Little League games when he was 13. Doug believes that photos should show who you are, not just what you look like. Doug thinks that if you ever find yourself in Birmingham, you need to eat barbeque at Jim ‘n Nicks. Doug thinks everything tastes better with hot sauce. Except for cereal, that would be weird. Doug also knows that there is a Bruce Springsteen song for every occasion.

Mary Beth Koeth

Mary Beth Koeth was born on June 2nd, 1982 in Ohio. She’s the youngest of five kids whose names all begin with M…she’s still not sure why her parents, Mike and Marlene, thought that was a good idea. Her parents moved to Texas when she was one, and she quickly embraced the Texas uniform: cowboy boots and a slight food stain on the lower bottom corner of her shirt. She survived Catholic elementary and grade school despite the fact that she told a priest during confession that she had robbed a bank. Koeth went to an all-girls college prep where she spent the majority of her time in the darkroom sniffing hazardous chemicals and forgetting to shave her legs. She was a vegetarian for eight years…then lemon chicken happened. She spent three and a half years at Texas Tech University and a semester in Florence dreaming about hot make-out sessions in the darkroom, but came out with a Design Communication degree instead. Armed with visions of power suits and briefcases, Mary Beth moved to Kansas City to work as a designer for Hallmark Cards. She later moved overseas to further her greeting card design skills with Hallmark UK. Koeth spent her weekends traveling Europe with a camera in hand and soon realized her goal of going back to school to pursue photography seemed fathomable. She spent two and a half months in Norway assisting photographer, Nancy Bundt and observing tall, blond men. She's also interned for Miami photographer, Sid Hoeltzell and Joe Pugliese in Los Angeles. She now lives out of two suitcases, calling Miami home.

Antoine Doyen

Antoine Doyen was born in 1982 in Nancy, France. As he was getting bored in University in 2005, he dropped out of Sociology so he could fly to West Africa and see what kind of movies where shot and watched there. What should have been a scientific study became a series of images that brought him to photography as a job; he never showed up in class ever again. Back in France, the newspaper "Metro" sent him on assignment to the Cannes Film Festival: that's how he gets into portrait, by chance. He then enrolls in a photojournalism class at the EMI-CFD (Paris). He works on assignment for a variety of news outlets (Le Monde, L'Express, Le Parisien Magazine, Les Echos, Studio Cine Live, The Wall Street Journal…) and communication agencies. First a portrait photographer, he also ventures in the long-format realm, currently documenting tractor pulling competitions… and the life of catholic priests. In any case, the subject that matters is commitment & passion.
