This depends on your ticket choice, but the workshop is up to 3 full days of intensive hands-on photoshoots and Masterclass style education sessions.
The workshop is led by Lilly Red + Vic. We also have Cara Mia and From the Daisies as featured speakers. Each speaker will have educational sessions, as well as photo sessions so you can learn from them and then shoot alongside them.
The three of us are known for our bold, unique styles and we will encourage you to push your creativity out of your comfort zone. Cara Mia and From the Daisies are also traveling to Europe for this experience. So in all honesty, this could be your first and last time to see all 3 photographers together in one workshop!
There are a million different photographers out there, most of whom all use the same kind of “photography style.”
After years of experience, we know that building a bold brand that stands out from everyone else comes from breaking away the trends and re-defining a “luxury” style.
That’s what we’re here to teach you in this workshop. You’ll learn everything from discovering your unique photography style, creating an out-of-the-box brand persona, and how to market yourself so you reach your dream clients.
We understand that plans can change, but we’ll be sad to miss you if you can’t make it! While cancellations are not permitted, you can absolutely transfer your ticket to another attendee.
We will keep a waitlist of attendees if you need to transfer your ticket after purchase.
The workshop fee covers the education and photoshoot sessions.
Your travel, accommodations, and meals are separate, but we have a travel guide with our best recommendations. After you book your ticket, we will send you resources to help you plan your trip.

For the photo session days, we are limiting attendees to only photographers. This is so attendees can have the best possible experience without working over each other.
We believe in quality over quantity. And we know you’ll get a better experience in a more intimate setting.
We’ve limited the workshop to these small group settings:
Day 1 (VIP Attendees Only): 16 attendees. There will be multiple stations, and you’ll be split into smaller groups. You won’t have to fight over one another for shots. This is fundamental and something we won't compromise on. You will absolutely have the time and space to capture scenes as they unfold.
Day 2: 70 attendees overall. Everyone gets a space to sit and learn, but this won’t be a huge conference. Spaces are limited, and we will sell out!
Day 3: 10 attendees per session, with 6 sessions throughout the day.
A full schedule and mood boards are coming soon!
Yes, we encourage you to bring your own camera and essential equipment.
Absolutely! We’ve arranged live styled shoots in the most picturesque locations around Bellagio to help you boost your portfolio with epic real-world scenes.
