This course was an absolute game changer for me because this is the first time that I have been able to really deeply examine what drives me to take pictures. Olga’s amazing teaching and course content allowed me to search my heart and my soul for my personal vision. Her feedback and critiques were always thoughtfully and thoroughly done and you could always tell that she put her whole heart into sharing her knowledge with you and encouraging you. I will be forever grateful for her kindness and warmth and for her constant encouragement to dig deeper and to push harder to be the best artist that I can be. Thank you isn’t enough, but thank you Olga for everything.

I absolutely loved this course! Olga is an incredible teacher; she is generous with her encouragement, feedback, and suggestions, and she really helped me grow as a photographer. The past four weeks have shown me what my strengths are, and what I need to focus on in order to become a better artist. This course also gave me insight into what I actually want to photograph, and how I need to manage my time to make it a reality! I feel more confident about MY voice and how to use it! Thank you Olga!

I just finished this course and wow! This course is worth every dollar and more.

Each week comes with a lot of content in the form of videos, PDF and online forums/video chats. With each assignment Olga gave individual feedback and really dove in my photos giving really detailed and good constructive feedback. She has challenged me to try different angles, composition, sources of light and so much more.

To be honest as I am only a beginner photographer (I’ve had my camera for less than a year but I’m confident using manual mode on the camera) the course did move a lot faster than I was able to keep up but I’m glad that I can download the content to really read and understand at my own pace. I love that Olga uses videos in her courses putting her lessons into practise as that really helped me learn and understand.

Olga I cannot thank you enough for your light and guidance throughout this course. I have learnt so much and cannot wait to get out more and practise.

This class is a must take! I signed up for the Full Participation course and loved every minute of it. This class is packed full of information! Her assignments, PDFs and video assignment critiques helped push me out of my comfort zone and have helped me be more confident in my photography skills. This course is great for both novice and experienced photographers and both hobbyist and business photographer. She really digs deep into helping you understand your why and finding your voice in your photography. Her feedback, video and portfolio critique of the assignments was invaluable in helping me in my photography journey. Her assignments will help you have a better understanding of color, composition, shape, light and moments and you will have a better understanding of how Psychology, body language, and how emotion and connection can impact your why and how you photograph. This course was unlike any other workshop class I have taken. Olga was extremely helpful and gave honest and very thorough critiques. If you are considering a workshop to take–let it be THIS ONE! I highly recommend this class!

This course was just what my art, business, and, most importantly, soul needed right now. Other than mastering the technical side of photography, finding your voice and learning how to communicate your intent effectively is the most important step to taking your art to the next level. This course helps you do just that. Olga has this insane ability to look at your work and offer the guidance, encouragement, and insight needed to get it where you actually want it to be. I left this course with not only new friends, but with a roadmap for my photography development that will take me through the next few years of honing my art and reaching my goals. This course was essential to my development as an artist, and I know it will continue to influence and push me forward in the future.

Loved this class so much. Olga is such an inspiration with her passion for photography, her knowledge, her enthusiasm. I loved all the shooting and editing videos, the beautiful PDF’s, so enormously inspiring. I’ll definitely be re-watching en re-reading all the class materials throughout my photography journey. Thank you so much, Olga, I absolutely enjoyed these weeks, I learnt so much. So glad I joined!

Wow! That was honestly the best workshop I’ve taken on CM’s! If you’re considering it, do it, you won’t regret it! Prior to this course, I was just taking photos without analysing the why behind the photo. Olga has helped steer me in the direction of my true visual voice. I can now see consistency in my work, my genre, my editing style and what it is that I’m trying to capture in one frame. I’ve definitely gained confidence in myself as a photographer, and my work. I’ll definitely be revisiting the course material again and again and probably still learn. Olga was an open book and happily shared all of her tips and tricks without holding back. Thank you Olga, forever grateful! <3

I was recommended by another photographer to Olga, and I am SO happy I invested my time & money in this workshop.
Olga was raw, deep, straight to the point, informative, and no question was too much! She responded promptly and was happy to create additional videos in response to the questions that I asked.
Nothing about this workshop was scripted, she was genuine and amazing. I have already recommended her further to local photographers!

For myself personally, I have gained confidence in my abilities, found my inner voice (which I think was the biggest goal for me) and now that I understand WHY and HOW I do what I do, my artwork will step up a whole new level.

Already the photos I shared from the workshop have had many compliments!!

Thank you Olga! x

An amazing class! Olga has clearly poured her heart and soul into this workshop. She really makes you dig deep to discover your voice and your style and, from light through composition to posing, she gives you the tools to begin to create standout photographs. She is really invested in this class, from her presence in the forum right through to the awesome feedback to assignments. 4 weeks was not long enough to really digest all the materials and information provided and I know that I will continue to work on this class for some time to come.

I did the Study Along with Olga and it was amazing! I learnt so many new things to really make my images stand out and capture the emotion, love and light.

I am really looking forward to getting out and experimenting with everything that I have taken out of this workshop.

Thank You Olga, You’re amazing!

Absolutely a game changer. This class was so much more than I expected and really covered all aspects of my photography, including giving instruction on how to grow the business side of things as well as how to make sure that I am doing what I love and achieving my personal goals (and setting them!). I loved the encouraging and gracious way that Olga instructs while also definitely working to push us to our best. I would recommend this class in a heartbeat, and will probably be re-reading the class materials and watching the videos for the next couple of months because there is SO MUCH great content there!

Thanks, Olga, for telling me to give myself permission to try new things – I am already seeing a difference in the way I shoot and how I am willing to try something completely different, even if I might fail the first time or it might not work out how I envisioned.

Love, Light & Laughter with Olga was by far the best and most useful workshop that I have ever taken! And I have taken many, here on CM and other platforms! After Tales of the Moment, I expected a lot of materials, in-depth information and many videos (I love the way Olga creates her videos by showing the footage and explaining what she is doing, rather than providing only the raw footage from the shoots with no comments) and Love, Light & Laughter lived up fully to my expectations – beautiful PDFs with tons of info backed up with numerous videos and exercises. I enjoyed and looked forward to every week and assignment! But what I found really invaluable were Olga’s reviews and critique. Olga spots and points out everything that needs attention and more work without any sugar coating and this is how she can really help you grow and develop. She provided detailed video feedback for each assignment which was at least 20 min long and answered in detailed every single question posted in the forum. I was truly impressed by her presence in the workshop. Olga is an instructor who will push you to find yourself in your photography and encourage you to work hard and follow your voice. With her enthusiasm and passion for photography, she is an inspiration. Join Olga, be prepared to work hard to get the most of the workshop and you won’t ever want it to end! Thank you, Olga!

WOW! I cannot believe how much I have learned in 4 weeks, and how much it has changed not just the way I take photographs, but what I think about before pushing the button. So many a-ha moments! If this is a class you are considering, then I would say go for it, you will not be sorry! You will learn, be inspired, motivated and understand so much more about your own creativity and potential.

Olga, thank you so much for sharing not just your incredible knowledge and talent, but your passion and time. It is obvious how much you poured into this class and how much you gave us in return. Each tale with additional bonus videos and notes and each assignment with so many comments, ideas and techniques to help each of us on our individual journeys. You went above and beyond and the effort, care and consideration you gave each of us was truly appreciated.

Thank you so much. You have been an absolute inspiration and motivation and I cannot wait to put some of my new skillset into action! I would love to keep in touch and if you ever run any more workshops, styled shoots or meet ups, please think of me as I would love to join you again sometime!
