Teamwork! Behind-the-scenes photo by Michael Rubenstein.

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

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!

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
