About

Jeremy Cowart is an award-winning photographer, artist, and entrepreneur whose groundbreaking work spans multiple creative disciplines. Known for his captivating portraits of celebrities like Taylor Swift, the Kardashians, and Emma Stone, Jeremy is also recognized for his innovative 60-second photoshoots, where backgrounds and lighting change dynamically as he shoots— a method no one else in the world is using.

Jeremy’s work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Time, and Fast Company, and has appeared in a Netflix documentary and multiple TV shows. In 2022, his art was showcased alongside icons like Annie Leibovitz, Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol, and Richard Avedon in a London museum auction. He’s also a pioneer in the digital art space, with multiple sold-out collections, and a sought-after speaker, with his latest TEDx talk delivered in September 2024.

Beyond his artistic achievements, Jeremy is deeply committed to humanitarian efforts. He launched the Voices of Gatlinburg wildfire relief project, which was featured in TIME magazine. His Voices of Haiti project followed the devastating earthquake in Haiti, and his Voices of Reconciliation project, featured on CNN, told the powerful stories of Rwandans forgiving each other after the genocide. Jeremy’s work reflects his belief in the power of art to foster empathy and healing.

He is the founder of Help-Portrait, a global photography movement that provides portraits for those in need, and The Purpose Hotel, a philanthropic hotel chain designed to support charitable causes through every aspect of its operations. He also invented the Lightograph, an innovative art form that captures the evolution of light in still imagery.

Jeremy’s autobiography I'm Possible, published in 2019, was inspired by his viral video of the same name, which has reached millions of people. He lives in Franklin, Tennessee, with his wife Shannon and their four children, two of whom were adopted from Haiti.
