Shooting Your Dream Concept: Film Photography with Mike Gray

Shooting Your Dream Concept: Film Photography with Mike Gray — Plan and Execute Intentional Film Shoots

The gist: A step-by-step lesson in conceptual film photography production — from initial idea through execution — taught by a working film photographer for creatives who want more intention behind their travel and lifestyle shoots.

• Concept-to-execution workflow: Mike Gray walks through the full process of turning an abstract idea into a planned, executed shoot — including how to find locations, develop a concept, and build a shot list.
• Film-specific technique: Covers the unique considerations of shooting on film: light metering, exposure latitude, and working with the limitations and character of analog media.
• Practical production steps: The lesson is structured around a real shoot, so techniques are demonstrated in context — not just explained theoretically.
• Accessible entry price: At $15, it’s a low-cost introduction to planned conceptual photography without the overhead of a formal workshop.

Moment’s official course page describes the lesson as a “step by step approach that includes everything from coming up with a concept to executing a captivating shoot” on film.

Best for: Film photographers and travel shooters who want to move from spontaneous snapping to intentional, concept-driven shoots.
