#brinsonbanksing on set in San Francisco today! Thanks for bringing us on to play with all the colors @andreawise_ 🌈 (and thanks for the 💪 @lukaszanoli). We can’t wait to share what we all cooked up today for a rad 🤫 client ✨ (peep s’more bts in our Stories 👀)

@randegerber x @casamigos in Malibu

Red! Red! Red! New work for Ford + UniWorld, shot in downtown LA! 💥🍒💥 (it has just come to our attention that a red convertible emoji is needed in the next update)

We photographed radiant actress and artist @janeseymour in her stunning Malibu home for The Wall Street Journal. (She’s worked on so many projects but if you’re from our generation you know she is Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, y’all.)

Welp, we made it home. More than 3 months of traveling this amazing world for one project and we are back in LA! This #brinsonbanksing photo is from the gorgeous Planten un Blomen in Hamburg, Germany (definitely take a walk through it if you ever find yourself in Hamburg). 🌿 Now taking your top jetlag tips 🥴

We took another request for a quick dive into our celebrity portraiture archive! @_heyitsjono requested an outtake from our super fun shoot with the incomparable @lakeithstanfield3 who took every idea we had and multiplied it by five.

The other day I asked y’all which of our celebrity portraits y’all wanted to see outtakes from and @ejhar22 requested the lovely Gillian Anderson who we photographed with her X-Files sidekick David Duchovny. Here are two portraits we’ve never shared before. Do you prefer the smiling portrait or the serious portrait? 😁 or 😐? Or 👽👽? #xfiles

We first left for this 15 country photo+video project on March 16 with only a few days notice. Welp, 3 months later, in one week, we will be wrapped(!!!) and heading ***back to home sweet home in LA*** (hey editors, art buyers: hire us! We can finally start saying yes to new work again!). This is #brinsonbanksing in Northern Ireland, on the last beautiful day of spring, at the gorgeous natural wonder that is Giant’s Causeway. We didn’t hike the tripod down with us so we asked a rock to hold the camera and he left his rock finger in the frame (what can ya do?). Today: Dubai! 🐫 And in a few days we will be in India!! And then sunny LA again at last 💛

Ooooh, did someone say first day of summer? @aprettycoolgirl + @thebeanpott in Baja 🌞🌊👯‍♀️🌊

I got this text from my mom-in-law, aka David’s mama aka Marcia Banks today: “Eva Longoria’s new show Grand Hotel comes on tonight. Might be a good time to repost your shot of her (mother-in-law telling you your business 😂).” Should Marcia handle all our social media from now on? YESSS! Keepin’ it in the fam. You’re hired @mgbanks 💗 @evalongoria #evalongoria // By the way, if y’all have any requests to see more images from one of our celeb portrait photo shoots, shout em out! We are working on one project for 3 months so I’m happy to play in our archive for y’all 😊

Newsflash: Summer officially starts in 10 days!!!! 🌸(but it’s currently 55 degrees in London where we’re working this week)

Back on the world tour! #brinsonbanksing at l'heure bleue in Paris

We are running around Europe for the big project we’ve been working on all over the world since March. The lovely light coupled with jet lag and all the tasty bread is making us sentimental for the glorious time we ran around Italy with dear friends @ravenroxanne and @tom__english. Let’s do it again sometime guys 🖤

It’s been exactly three years today since we took portraits of this insanely funny foursome! Thanks a million to @thebeanpott and @_lainalynn for making this gorgeous backdrop OUT OF BUBBLE WRAP!!! ✨😮✨

Andrew and Alaska in Venice // (with hair and makeup by @caitlinkrenzbeauty ✨)

We never have photos of both of us together for press inquiries, so we snuck just one frame in before our recent TIME shoot! ✨ (we weren’t going for that deer in the headlights look, but what can y’do? 😂) Notice how differently the gelled lights fall on David’s face than the face of our subject in the previous post. Hair and bone structure really changes how light falls so sometimes our tests on each other before our subject arrives can be deceiving! (Especially when our subject is bald, which we were reminded of yesterday in a different group portrait 😬)

This is the other portrait set-up we did with pro @overwatchleague gamer @_geguri for @time’s Next Generation Leaders. Imagine being 19 and photographed for TIME Magazine (amazing! nerve-racking!) and then the photographers don’t speak the language you do (ahh!) and they’re asking you to tilt your head and move just so and look in that direction *in a foreign language*. You might feel a liiiiiittle like Bill Murray in that “Lost In Translation” photoshoot scene. And yet Geguri pulled it off with grace! She was a real pro! 👉👉 Which portrait do you like the best, teal 👗 or orange 🍊? makeportraits #overwatch #geguri

#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
