Rapper @lilpump and his adorable pup named Esskeetit (let’s get it), photographed for @buzzfeednews #makeportraits #esskeetit #lilpump

We spent an afternoon with rapper @lilpump for @buzzfeednews. While we were there, the 18-year-old rapper who signed an $8 million recording contract last year, poured Codeine cough syrup on his steak and took a big bite and then shared that video on his Instagram account. We highly recommend reading @scaachi’s account of this evening (“Even Lil Pump Can’t Have It All”) on Buzzfeed because no one writes like @scaachi. #lilpump @buzzfeedphoto

@davidwalterbanks’ new Chroma portrait series is featured on @aphotoeditor today! Head to aphotoeditor.com to hear the motivations behind this colorful portrait series that is done all in camera. There are many more portraits on our website under the section if you’re itching to see more. ✨🌈✨✨#chromaportraits #makeportraits

Our favorite stop on our LA tour with @kateandlauramulleavy of @rodarte for @nytimes was @pinkshotdogs. Color! Fries! Kitsch! Hot dog purses! Mustard calligraphy! What’s not to love? #rodarte

More of the brilliant @rodarte sisters @kateandlauramulleavy for @nytimes at iconic Hollywood movie spots the Halloween House, Castle Green, Musso & Frank Grill, and High Tower Court. Stay tuned for our favorite spot of all... #rodarte #makeportraits

We had the pleasure of running around Los Angeles movie lore hotspots with @kateandlauramulleavy, the brilliant and creative fashion minds behind @rodarte with writer @arielfoxman for @nytimes. This was the ballroom at the absolutely gorgeous @thecastlegreen. Look for the story in today’s Design section and keep an eye out because we’ll be sharing more peeks of the Hollywood gems with this dream team soon! #rodarte #makeportraits #fashion

Laina + Sarah // From a new series by @kendrickbrinson: “Creating together means a lot to me in ways that go beyond lighting and directing and making something better because it was made together. It’s a little about confronting my own body shame and hang-ups. It’s a little bit about de-sexualizing nudity. It’s a lot more about how much growing and healing and loving has been done in this friendship in a short amount of time. Death, broken hearts, new life on its way, laughter and tears—sometimes at the same time—we support and assist and guide and love and lean on each other.” (Head to Kendrick’s feed to see more and read more about why she did this series with two of her best friends. Censored per Instagram’s terms of use)

Getting called the class clown by your teacher to your mom in elementary school isn’t exactly great, but being funny can come in handy on a shoot. We just need to get @ellissastarr a shirt that says The Happy Happies, amiright? #lawomanbrinsonbanks (and that’s window light for the win ✨)

Bet y’all didn’t think we could post three redhead photos in a row, but here we are. 👩‍🦰🐕 Our dogter, the one, the only #tinytiabanks

Costume Designer @thesandypowell was nominated for TWO Oscars last night for her immaculate costume design for both The Favourite and Mary Poppins Returns (no big deal 😯). Her costumes are always incredible and she’s been nominated a dozen plus times before (and of course won plenty of accolades for her work, too). We photographed this mega-talented woman for @variety a few years ago (and now we have posted two redhead photos in a row! Y’think we can keep it going? 👩‍🦰👨‍🦰)

#throwback to one of our all-time favorite shoots ever with our second favorite redhead on the planet @teamcoco #conanobrien

Fashion stylist @ilariaurbinati has transformed how men present themselves on the red carpet.🕴🏻 “I’m not trying to make them look interesting; I want them to be unexpected.” We got to spend some time with Ilaria in her LA studio for The @washingtonpost for a story by @robingivhan and we were very impressed with her men’s shoe collection 👞👞👀

We had a fun shoot with @rpa.ap today! Thanks for the good time and all the help @justinebarnes11 @ditchdigger @jackheristal and @drew_herrmann (who snapped this photo of us). Yes or no: Should we wear only coveralls/jumpsuits at our photoshoots from here on out? 📸👯‍♂️📷 #brinsonbanksbts

MENTORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT: Since today is a day of spreading the 💗love💗, today is the day we are ✨thrilled✨ to announce who we have selected as our first 6 month mentorship recipient! *🥁Drumroll🥁, please!* We love Da’Shaunae Marisa’s photos. She was just one of an amazingly talented pool of candidates and we selected her work because she has such an incredible eye 👁 for both documentary photos AND portraiture (two of our specialities). Swipe 👉👉 through to see some of our favorite images all taken by the talented @__dashaunaemarisa (follow her!!!!), who is a 22-year-old photographer based in Cleveland, Ohio. We ooh-ed 😍😯and ahh-ed 😲 at each image and can’t wait to get to know her more these next 6 months. Thank you so much to each photographer who took the time to share their work with us.

LA Woman: Actress @ellissastarr // (swipe over and tell us if you prefer the first or second photo!) // “My home is extremely creative, comical truth is that it's not mine. It's a time capsule for a bohemian woman that left years ago and wanted to have a place to come back to, however and whenever that may be. Besides my bedroom, I enter somebody else's world. The most radical part about it is that it has, unexpectedly, shifted my perspective in unimaginable ways. The culture in my home is immense, when I come home I'm actually going to Paris (in a way). Everybody here is Parisian and proud of it. I'm honored to be welcomed here each time I get to my door. I've always struggled with having a home or even coming back to it. It's still very much alive, but with this space it's become easier because I have the comfort of acclimating to others which allows me to open up to entirely different perspectives. It's important to have that incubating in your safest spaces, I think that's where we grow most because we are present.”- Ellissa Starr 🌟 #lawomanbrinsonbanks

LA Woman: Actress and experiential producer with @yeahfieldtrip Ellissa Starr (@ellissastarr) in her Highland Park home. Ellissa is originally from Missouri and landed in LA in 2014. “I wouldn't use the word nurture for what living here has done to me. Living in Los Angeles has enlightened me, although I recognize now I could have done that anywhere but I lacked that understanding until I reached this point of being. I just keep wanting to say that it's the people. No matter the experience with every single one of them, I'm really f*cking thankful for it all.” #lawomanbrinsonbanks

We ran all over LA and Pasadena today following two rad women for The @nytimes and this is @davidwalterbanks straddling the railing of the Michael Myers Halloween House in South Pasadena taking photos this afternoon 😂😂😂😂🔪😳 #brinsonbanksbts
