WORKSHOP | BREAKOUT ALUMNI STORIES

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!
— Andie, live and online workshops student
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!

Olga has an incredible ability to see the unique potential in each student and to nurture it. I left this class more certain of my voice and my style. I now know the steps I need to take to grow as a photographer. I feel this class was a game-changer for me.
— Amy
I have been a huge fan of Olga’s work, in fact I wish I could get married again so she can do my wedding photography!
It has been amazing getting this valuable insight from such a talent and the openness Olga comes with is amazing. I have learnt a lot from the materials and the exercises Olga sets give you a deeper way of thinking, creating and challenging yourself. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to up their game.
Olga thank you so much for pouring your heart and soul into this and really caring!!
— Caroline
Olga Levien’s work is absolutely breathtaking! I was so very excited to pursue a mentorship with her and she did not disappoint. Her knowledge and expertise in all aspects of the photography business is top notch. She has helped me build confidence in pursuing wedding photography full time by giving me the knowledge and tools I need for a successful business and she has also helped me to find my photography voice and style through wonderful feedback on my photography portfolio. She’s extremely friendly, and highly encouraging and I cannot recommend her enough. 5 stars for Olga Levien!!!
— Tanya
This breakout totally exceeded my expectations! Olga is obviously an incredibly talented photographer but her passion for helping others find their voice is so inspiring and motivating… I cannot wait to get out there and shoot with some new perspective!! Olga really has poured her heart and soul into this breakout and there is such a wealth of information here I will be referring back to it for a long time, I’m sure!
— Sophie
Olga is one of those photographers that when you see her work it just stops you in your tracks and you wonder HOW does she do that?? I found this class at the right time during my own personal photography journey. I understand the technical basics but I know my photography is lacking something that isn’t tangible that I couldn’t put my finger on. I’ve heard many great photographers say that you need to find your VOICE. Olga is an amazing teacher and I can tell she really put her heart and soul into the materials of this class. I feel that she really wants everyone to succeed and be the best photographer they can be. I’m so glad I found this course and can’t wait to practice what I’ve learned.
— Vanessa
Gosh, where to start?! Olga is truly inspiring. She has really put her whole heart and soul into this. I can tell that she has poured over every.single.detail. If you are drawn to emotive, authentic, and captivating photography…this is for you. Thanks Olga for sharing your heart and your beautiful work and all of the creativity behind what you do!
— Heather
This breakout is an absolute GAME CHANGER!! Whether you are brand new to photography or have been shooting for years, you will find countless treasures. Olga is so passionate about helping her participants grow, learn and succeed. She holds nothing back as she shares her knowledge, experience and guidance so freely. Olga provides insight and inspiration to help you dig deep to find YOUR voice, YOUR style and to be confident in it! She covers composition, lighting, colors choices, story, mood, movement, emotion and so many other details that will help you take your photography journey to a whole new level. Thank You Olga for pouring your heart and soul into this! Your generosity is going help so many others discover and embrace their creative voice!
— Velina
Olga is a great artist and a great teacher. The way she explains things and all creative exercises make you rethink about your photography and helps you to go forward. Olga is very inspiring and generous.
