Beatriz Valim beacasso is a film photographer based in the United States. Images shot on #portra800.

"Bathed in moody lighting, she gazes past the lens with quiet confidence. The contrast of shadow, glimmer, glistening earrings, and piercing eyes, tells a story of elegance and mystery. It's the kind of image that feels cinematic, like a fleeting moment from an untold film, frozen.

For this shoot, I had the chance to experiment and push creative boundaries. To create a ghostly blur across my model Abby’s face, I applied Vaseline to my Cinebloom lens filter. This technique adds a soft, ethereal quality to the image, bringing depth and intrigue. I always enjoy discovering new ways to integrate unique elements into my work.

The color palette was inspired by the stunning earrings Abby wore, which led me to envision a theme of jewels and gemstones. I aimed to evoke a sense of richness and luxury, a vision beautifully brought to life by my talented makeup artist, Aime. Her expert makeup and jewelry styling elevated the concept and helped capture the essence of the shoot.

I shot this on Kodak Portra 800 film, my go-to for studio work with continuous lighting. This film consistently delivers true-to-life colors and captures my subjects with remarkable clarity. Its consistency and vibrancy are essential when working in a controlled lighting environment, making it an invaluable tool in my creative process." - Beatriz
