Expertly lit portraits featuring a bearded Tom Hanks and a perfectly composed Nancy Pelosi before a big announcement. Quiet yet powerful commentary on the privilege of shade in Los Angeles, a city plagued by climate change and income inequality. A striking and moody image by twenty-four-year-old Yannis Davy Guibinga. Plus, who can say no to a picturesque rainbow shot in Lofoten? 

We’re bringing you the images from Instagram we were impressed by this week.

This week we shared an intimate portrait of Wati, an orangutan showing off her newborn by pro wildlife photographer Zac Mills.

We love hearing about Zac’s global adventures and seeing the intimate photos he captures of various animals around the world. . “I’ve been traveling to Indonesia to photograph the critically endangered Sumatra Orangutans for each of the past 7 years. During one of my first visits, I saw this young orangutan baby, affectionately called ‘Wati’. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure to see her continued development and venture off on her own. I took this photo in 2018 in Gunung Leuser National Park shortly after she had given birth to her first baby. She was so happy as a new mother and kept caressing her little one.” – Zac Mills
