FAQ
TELL ME A BIT ABOUT THE EDITORIAL EDITIONS, CONTENT WORKSHOPS AND EDUCATION BY LEI LEI CLAVEY
Editorial Sessions is a series of content workshops and education, hosted by Lei Lei Clavey.
Lei Lei is a photographer and educator, collaborating with leading luxury vendors including a wedding stylist and fashion stylist.
Participants are limited to 8-12 attendees, to ensure that everyone has ample shooting time and access to industry experts and the luxury content.
Make your own way to the content workshop, bringing your own photography gear and join us to shoot editorial content including ceremony and reception styling, fashion and stationery details.
I will provide art direction and demonstrations on how I shoot and pose couples to get the editorial look as well as how I shoot styling details. Professional models will be on site for editorial fashion portraits, including sunset portraits.
The workshops include lunch / light snacks and opportunities to chat and catch up with other creatives in our industry.
Does it matter if I already have a wedding photography business/am not new to the game?
Not at all! The workshop is suitable for established photographers looking to niche into the editorial wedding client and get out of their comfort zone shooting in a different style. The workshop is also suitable for photography beginners, looking to launch their own brand with luxury content.
CAN PHOTOGRAPHERS AND VIDEOGRAPHERS ATTEND?
Yes, the content workshop is open to both photographers and videographers looking to shoot editorial content for their brand.
HOW CAN I USE THE CONTENT?
There is no limit! Go nuts! You can use any content shot and edited in your style to your hearts content. You can use the content for a rebrand, in your portfolio, client guides, website and across social channels.
With such an amazing team of vendors, it makes sense to share the love and credit the creatives who made this workshop possible. Therefore, our only request is that you respectively tag and credit vendors on all channels.
Prior to the day, I will share a list of vendors involved so that any BTS shot and shared to social channels on the day of the workshop can be appropriately credited.
Note: The workshop content is not intended for submission to any publication by an attendee of the workshop.
WHO ARE THE COLLABORATORS
Editorial Wedding Photographer: Lei Lei Clavey
Lei Lei Clavey is an Editorial Wedding Photographer based in Australia, shooting internationally. With a background in fashion photography and marketing, she launched a thriving wedding photography business and has been featured in Vogue, The Lane, The Wed, The Bridal Journey and Anti-Bride (to name a few).
Each workshop has a unique team, including a wedding stylist and fashion stylist. Past collaborators include CENE Studio and renowned fashion stylist Simone Farrugia.
WILL THE WORKSHOP ALSO INCLUDE EDUCATION?
The content workshop is intended as an opportunity for you to shoot incredible content, rather than a business / education workshop. My priority is to ensure you maximise your shooting time and give your opportunities to shoot variety so that your portfolios are exploding with editorial shots.
During the workshop I will share tips on how I shoot on a wedding day and demonstrate how to pose couples and shoot styling details. If you would like to know more about editing, workflow processes, closing an ideal client, marketing and social media, I offer 1:1 mentoring sessions here.
what isn’t included in the content workshop?
I do not include accomodation, transport or any photography equipment in the ticket price.
Usage will be confirmed to you prior to tickets going on sale.
Please ensure you have your own personal or business insurance in place prior the shoot.
HOW DO I GET TO THE CONTENT WORKSHOP LOCATION?
Prior to the content workshop, I will share tips on how to arrive safely on the day.
The Trust - The location is in CBD Melbourne and best accessed via public transport. Attendees are encouraged to chat in the Facebook Group and arrange car-pooling, otherwise please use public transport. Please note that transport to and from your accommodation to the content workshop is not included in the workshop.
As a guide, the workshop will start at 10.30am and finish at 7:00pm. Closer to the workshop date, I will confirm the exact timing and flow of the day.
I’m coming from interstate, do you have any tips for me?
Arriving the night before would be preferable to avoid flight delays. If you are flying on the day of the workshop, I would recommend to arrive into Melbourne Airport around 8am to allow for time to commute to the Melbourne CBD via Uber, Taxi or Sky-bus.
The workshop will most likely formally finish by 6.30pm. If you are joining for drinks after the workshop, we will finish around 8pm.
I would recommend booking CBD Melbourne accomodation. Find your way to the The Trust via foot or free city circle loop (Tram 35).
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING?
Your camera gear including camera bodies (digital and film), lenses, batteries, flash, charges, film etc. We will not be providing any technical equipment on the day.
Warm clothing (layers!), appropriate comfortable footwear (no stilettos), wet weather gear for shooting outside, your own reusable water bottle, keep cup, notepad etc.
WILL FOOD AND SNACKS BE PROVIDED?
A delicious lunch and light snacks will be provided during the workshop. Please bring your own reusable water bottle and keep cup if you have it (every little bit counts!).
Please notify us of any dietary requirements in advance of the workshop.
HOW MANY SHOOTing STATIONS WILL THERE BE?
There will be at least five styling elements / content stations. We have organised the day so there are multiple shooting stations going at once so no one is waiting around.
WHAT KINDS OF SHOOTS ARE THEY?
The workshop will include ceremony and reception styling, fashion and stationery details as well as professional models for bridal and/or couple portraits.
PRO TIP: Think about the type of shots you want to capture on the day for your portfolio or social media. It can’t hurt to have a shot list, as well as some challenges to push yourself creatively. Maybe you want to get out of your comfort zone and shoot a different style / test out a trend or finesse your existing style or have a play with that film camera you haven’t touched. Shooting with intention, will allow you to get the most out of the day.
will there be couple shoots?
Most likely ‘yes’, however I will confirm prior to tickets going on sale.
The Trust - Yes, I will include ‘a couple’ for this content workshop.
ARE YOU PLANNING SUNSET PORTRAITS?
The Trust - The sunset is around 5:40pm in August and will be in a CBD location. The light will be flat and not ideal for shooting outside. Therefore, we’ll probably shoot in and around the venue instead.
WHAT IF IT RAINS?
One word. Melbourne.
Rain in August isn’t out of the question. As part of our planning, we’ve made contingencies for showers and most of our shoot will be held inside the beautiful venue.
As with most wedding venues, they can be quite chilly. Please ensure you dress warmly with additional layers/wet-weather gear for when shooting outside on the mansion grounds.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes, the full price offer is available with a payment plan across 3 payments. Your first payment will secure your spot to the workshop.
trouble placing your booking?
Email hello@leileiclavey.com for support.
Tickets are limited, so if the spots are sold out please keep in touch for future content workshops. I will confirm on email or on the sales page if spots are sold-out.
Refund policy
Tickets to the content workshop are not refundable. If you would like to transfer your ticket to another person taking your spot, it is fully your responsibility to both sell your ticket and handle all financial transactions.
I shoot in a TEAM, does the ticket cover one or two people?
A ticket should be purchased per person, per day. If you are shooting in a team of 2 or more, please purchase a ticket per person.
Where you focus, enerGy will flow
For everyone in the wedding industry, content marketing really (really!) matters. How we present our brand online influences how our clients perceive us, our creativity, our value and whether we are the right fit for them. It takes 1/10th of a second for people to form a first impression, so the content we share online needs to serve our ideal client, every single time.
Whether on your website, portfolio, directory listings, client guides or socials, having irresistible content that resonates with your ideal client, is a game changer.
If you want to shoot luxury content (and lots of it), then Editorial Editions, a series of workshop and education is for you.
