photographer and chief marketing officer
Kate holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Photomedia from the University of New South Wales and has spent over 30 years creating images that resonate and connect. Her journey began in 1995, when her father, formerly a photographer for the Herald and Ogilvy & Mather, placed a Pentax camera in her hands.
Kate holds a Master’s in Art Therapy. During her postgraduate studies in Art and Psychodynamics at the University of Western Sydney, she completed a major visual and written research project exploring identity and imagery. This academic foundation continues to inform her practise.
Formally trained in Photo media at UNSW, she has built a distinctive practice grounded in both technical skill and storytelling. Her work has been recognised internationally, with features in leading publications includingHarper’s Bazaar Vietnam, L’Officiel Austria, Vogue, and PhotoVogue.
Kate brings this same depth of understanding to the world of marketing and branding. She believes that "Images don't just mirror culture, they help create it," and this conviction shapes the way she approaches every commercial project, whether she is building a brand's visual identity, shooting a campaign, or helping a business tell its story through storytelling.
Kate Branch is Chief Marketing Officer for The Albert Mosman and the broader Emerald City Hotels portfolio —including the signature property The Albert Mosman and media company Mosman Bride..
Strategy and concept means very little without the discipline to execute. Kate also designs the websites, produces visual content, runs community events, and manages the hotels brands and social media presence. As John Berger observed in Ways of Seeing, whoever controls the image holds a kind of influence, and Kate's mission is to put that influence in the hands of authentic storytelling, creating imagery that earns trust rather than simply demanding attention.
