Shooting Portraits On Film with BEACASSO

Shooting Portraits On Film with BEACASSO — Master Film Portraiture on Location

The gist: A 71-minute, six-module deep dive into medium format film portrait photography — practical for travel photographers who want to elevate their film work beyond snapshots.

• Conceptual color theory: BEACASSO (Beatriz Valim) walks through how color choices in wardrobe, backdrop, and light build the visual story — applicable whether you’re shooting portraits of locals or personal projects abroad.
• Pre-production to final edit: Covers the full production pipeline from concept to post — useful for photographers who want to plan intentional shoots rather than react in the moment.
• Studio AND outdoor sessions: Two dedicated shooting modules — controlled indoor light and natural outdoor environments — so you can apply what you learn across different travel contexts.
• Expert instructor: BEACASSO is a Los Angeles-based medium format film photographer known for intense, story-driven portraiture and fashion work.

According to Moment’s official course page, the lesson spans six video modules and ~71 minutes of instruction covering conceptual thinking, pre-production planning, two shooting environments, and post-processing — at a price point well below in-person workshops.

Best for: Film photographers and travel portrait shooters who want a structured, technique-focused approach to conceptual portraiture. Skip it if: You shoot digital only and have no plans to work with film — the course is built specifically around the medium format film process. Runs ~$15 — check the current price before buying.
