Director & Photographer

About

Kate Rolston is a commercial photographer and director based in the Rocky Mountains.

Kate is a photographer and director based in Denver, Colorado. As a former advertising executive in New York City, Kate understands the storytelling and vision of brands as well as what resonates with the consumer audience. Her past experience, and ability to create authentic and impactful campaigns is why top brands continue to work with Kate.

Currently Kate is one half of A Collective Us a Colorado based commercial photography and film studio that she runs with her husband. When not working together they travel around in their renovated 1960 Airstream with their bearded dog Pete and their son Lachlan.

Kate’s amazing. Her talent as a DP and photographer is incredible, but almost more important than the work itself, her open, honest approach to every job helps the agency, crew, and talent collaborate terrifically and get unexpectedly personal, authentic results. Her presence on set is collaborative and confident, fun and focused.

My only suggestion is to follow her work — here, her site, Instagram — for your own daily uplift and motivation.
