While still a student at ArtCenter, Rolston obtained an assignment from Andy Warhol, for Warhol's celebrity focused Interview magazine, where he began a successful career in photography. Soon after, Rolston began shooting covers and editorial assignments for founding editor Jann Wenner of Rolling Stone, as well as for other publications such as Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Vanity Fair, W, GQ, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, O: The Oprah Magazine and The New York Times. Rolston has completed thousands of photoshoots in his career, including over 100 covers for Rolling Stone alone.
Film career
Rolston also conceives, writes and directs film projects, having directed over 100 music videos and 200 television commercials in his career, including collaborations with Madonna, Janet Jackson, Beyoncé Knowles, and Miley Cyrus, as well as numerous advertising campaigns - both print and television - for clients such as L'Oreal, Revlon, Estée Lauder, Clairol, Levi's, Pantene, Elizabeth Arden, Gap and Polo Ralph Lauren, among others.
His production unit R-ROLL has produced projects for clients including Time, Inc., Amazon.com, ESPN, A&E/Lifetime Networks and Virgin Hotels, among others. Said Rolston, “We're now entering an era where the ‘making of' is just as important as the ‘of'. And clients seem to enjoy the integration of our media services. Print, film, design, documentary, you might say we're a ‘one-stop-shop'.”
Rolston has also appeared as a guest expert on a spectrum of beauty-oriented broadcast programs, from Bravo's Shear Genius and Make Me a Supermodel to the CW's America's Next Top Model.
