#BrinsonBanksing in the Tongass National Forest again, this time near beautiful Sitka, Alaska in a moss-covered paradise. *Important message: tomorrow is @davidwalterbanks’ BIRTHDAY, so go ahead and craft your texts, autotune your birthday songs, bake your cupcakes, buy your fireworks, dust off your parade attire, please celebrate this man’s greatness with me tomorrow by letting him know you care!* ⚡️🙏#westcoastexplorersclub #alaska Swipe 👉 through a behind-the-scenes peek (including gear cart surfing 🏄‍♂️) at our @TIME Magazine Next Generation Leader portrait with professional e-sport player @Geguri at the Blizzard Arena in Burbank, California. All magic done in camera. If you’re curious why the background in the photo (previous post) doesn’t appear pink it is because the backdrop wasn’t lit, only a little bit of light bled on, which was intended. #brinsonbanksbts @kendrickbrinson @davidwalterbanks TIME Magazine’s annual Next Generation issue is out! We photographed Kim Se-yeon, 19, aka @_geguri. Geguri is a professional e-gamer (in a male-dominated pro sport) on the Shanghai Dragons in the @overwatchleague. We set up a temporary studio in the @blizzard arena for @time. Stay tuned to our next post for some behind the scenes videos and photos from how we pulled this portrait off (yes, as always, everything was done in camera. Zoom in for some ✨🌈✨). Thank you @dilysng for a fun shoot and a great edit! #brinsonbanksing in Tongass National Forest (the largest temperate rainforest in the world!) in front of the Mendenhall Glacier today in Juneau, Alaska / #westcoastexplorersclub #alaska #juneau #mendenhallglacier Two more of @moby, photographed for The Wall Street Journal. (If you live in LA or ever visit, we recommend feasting at his delicious vegan restaurant @littlepinerestaurant — all profits go to animal organizations so you can feel like you’re doing a good deed while you eat yourself to oblivion. Try the arancini!) It was our pleasure to photograph musician, singer, songwriter, photographer, animal rights activist, producer, author (...) @moby in a rare light LA rain outside his home for The Wall Street Journal. After taking photos, we had some interesting conversations with him about photography (as you can imagine he has been photographed many times) and different approaches to portraits (and he mentioned that we had persuaded him to stand on a chair in the trees in rain, 😅 oh yeeeea, thaaaat). Tell us which photo you prefer of these two, first or second? #moby makeportraits Yesterday was our 13th anniversary and we got to celebrate it in gorgeous Mexico City 💗#brinsonbanksing Yesterday was our ninth(!) stop on this world work tour in gorgeous Boulder, Colorado. 🏞 Today we are already en route to number 10: Mexico City. #brinsonbanksing THE HULK. I mean, Bruce Banner. I mean, Mark Ruffalo. #avengersendgame #theavengers #throwback More portraits of the beautiful @justjuliawhelan for @thelilynews. The photos ran in black and white but we had to share these in color because Julia’s lipstick marched the bougainvillea 🌺 (swipe over). The interview headline is “You might have spent hours of your life listening to Julia Whelan’s voice, without ever realizing it / The narrator of ‘Gone Girl’ and ‘Educated’ opens up about sexism in the audiobook industry” if you’re up for a good interview! We photographed voice actress Julia Whelan for @thelilynews. Julia has recorded approximately 400(!!) audiobooks, so you might recognize her voice if you were to speak to her. @justjuliawhelan is the multitude of voices and accents and drama in “Gone Girl” 😳 and “Educated” and “The Wife Between Us” and on and on and on. #makeportraits The last time we were in Mexico City, we were there to take portraits of @robynkonichiwa (🎶call your girllllfriennnnnddddd🎶) and @_royksopp_ and we’ve never met nicer humans. There was an earthquake before our time to take portraits (while they were filming a new music video together), so we stood outside with them on the street until the chandeliers stopped swinging. We head back to Mexico City this weekend for work (and our anniversary), can’t wait! We joined millions of people around the world this weekend in seeing . At this point we think we’ve photographed four members of the cast. So we thought we’d share a portrait we took that we’ve never shared before of actress @BrieLarson aka Captain Marvel ✨💪✨ Have you seen End Game? What did ya think 👍 or 👎? Who is your favorite super hero? Actor Y’Lan Noel in LA We are traveling like mad for a cool project until the end of June, but we are home in LA for a brief respite and we have to give 100 high fives ✋ to the Photo Gods because, as every self-employed creative knows, all the great work calls come in *the minute* you leave town and can’t do them and that can be agony (raise your hand if you know what I’m talking about 🙋‍♀️🙋🏻‍♂️), but the Photo Gods have broken that cruel rule for us and have been so good to us with some rad photoshoots this week home between travels. 🙏 Thank you, Photo Gods. We will pour out a shot of fixer 💦 in your honor. 🖤 #brinsonbanksbts (also, art buyers, photo editors, we are back in LA July 1! Let’s work together!) We 💚 🌎 | #earthday #westcoastexplorersclub Okay, so this Seattle #brinsonbanksing photo sortakinda annoys me for a couple reasons (one being there was a giant white truck parked right in front that we tried to cover 😂), but I am determined to get one of these photos at each of our stops around the world for this project we are working on and we only had enough time to run 6 blocks with the camera, flash and tripod, get one frame on timer and run back to hop in a car to the airport. We impressed one woman who was “awwww”-ing during this 10 second interlude and informed us we “are so cute,” so there’s that. We got absolutely hilarious photos and videos of multiple fish tosses near this spot yesterday with one of the people we’re working on this project with and I wish we could show you those, but we can’t, so please accept this backbreaking kiss instead. Next stop, Boulder, Colorado and then Mexico City! The incomparable, mega-talented screenwriter+producer+actress @lenawaithe for @variety //// (you can’t really tell here, but this is a pool-side outdoor cabana we lit and gelled ✨) Throwback to our shoot with musician Brandon Flowers 💐 of The Killers and solo fame working on perfecting his tightrope skills in a fancy LA hotel room Between the orchids and the oranges, actor, singer, performance artist, dancer, photographer, collage artist @jinjabrew looks out the window of her LA loft #lawomanbrinsonbanks // “It's a city of persistence, where you work steadfastly toward your goals and really feel if it's worth it. Who or what are you willing to drive in traffic for on a friday evening? Focus, and you can steadily see progress and complete the projects you dreamed of. In LA, I've learned more about myself; figuring out what you're willing to endure for. It's the quiet moments. It’s a city that’s allowed me the time and space to finally finish projects - my first music video, my first short film, my first performance art and dance shows - all the way to my first manager and agent, etc.” - Kyoko Takenaka aka @jinjabrew
