Photographers and Directors David Walter Banks and Kendrick Brinson met and fell in love with photography and storytelling at the same time and place, in a college photojournalism class. Two years later, they also fell in love with each other. They began their professional careers as community photojournalists in the South before expanding to national magazines and eventually joining forces to create moment and color-driven work, as a team, for some of the world’s leading advertising agencies and editorial publications. In their free time, they enjoy shooting personal work or escaping their home in Los Angeles to a quiet campsite next to a fire with their two dogs Tortilla and Tuxedo.
