Mentor Sessions
Mentoring is available to a small number of photographers each year. If you are at a point in your practice where the work is strong and the next obstacle is one of positioning, perception, or vision — reach out.
WHO IS A MENTORING SESSION FOR?
If that is where you are, this is worth your time.
These sessions are for photographers who are already working. Not figuring out if photography is the right path — working. Your technical foundation is solid, you have a body of work, and you are at the point where the next obstacle is not skill. It is how the market perceives you, and whether the clients you are actually capable of shooting are finding you.
Lei Lei Clavey has spent six years building a wedding photography business recognised in Vogue Australia, British Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and the New York Times. She now shoots sixteen weddings a year at a five-figure investment and works with clients whose weddings are genuinely extraordinary.
The distance between where she began and where she operates now was not accidental. The decisions that created it - around positioning, portfolio, pricing, and perception - are what these sessions are built around.
mentoring SESSIONs
Sessions run for two hours and focus on two to three areas of your practice in depth. The conversation is direct and specific to where you are - not generic advice, but a considered read of your work, your positioning, and what is actually holding you back.
Investment: AUD 1200 + GST
Sessions are booked by application. If you would like to enquire, reach out with a brief note about where your practice currently sits and what you are hoping to work through.
