Rolling Stone: TATE MCRAE

Jan 2026

Rolling Stone features entertainer Tate McRae in a series of dynamic editorial portraits that lean into a vibrant pop-culture aesthetic. Captured by photographer Carin Backoff, the images utilize bright, high-key studio lighting and crisp flash techniques to anchor the subject against minimal, seamless white backgrounds. The visual narrative emphasizes playful, saturated props and structured silhouettes to define the editorial scope. The production brings together a collaborative team, including fashion styling by Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo, hair by Evanie Frausto, and makeup by Kennedy. Ali Gallagher rounds out the creative execution as the set designer, with the shoot balancing staged studio minimalism against select saturated accents.
