"If you have never gone on an Oleg Rest photo workshop, sign up now! You will not regret it! I cannot say enough, or recommend it highly enough. I recently returned from two of Oleg’s back-to-back workshops in Slovenia and the Italian Dolomites, and was blown-away. It literally took me three weeks to come back to reality though I was back home already! Oleg is different than many other workshop leaders in that he will do whatever it takes to make this an unforgettable experience for you. The minute you get out of the car with your camera, you get the sense that this workshop is just for you. Oleg is as selfless as he is talented, and so generous with his time and sharing of his skills. The workshops took us on journeys through parts of Europe I will never ever forget. Oleg made sure we photographed the best places, in the best light. This often meant moving around quickly from one location to another, and this whirlwind of activity made for one of the most amazing, eye-opening experiences of my life. The level of learning exceeded my expectations, and the quality of my photographs now shows that. This workshop re-set my own passion for photography into high gear, and has motivated me to learn more. The small workshop size made it comfortable to ask questions and get help, and the communication was exceptional. We bonded as a group in both workshops, and will take this once-in-a-lifetime experience into our future as emerging photographers. Oleg’s love of photography is only matched by his appreciation of the nature that surrounded us, and the heart-felt passion he shows for teaching photographers all that he knows. While he shows you how to take better photographs, the real differentiator is that he teaches you how to tap into the energy and light of a particular location. It makes all the difference when you see the end result! I absolutely recommend Oleg Rest workshops for your photographic development!"

"“Autumn in Dolomite was my first landscape photography trip. I didn’t know the area so I was a little worried. but Oleg and Maria were experienced and master photographers who knew the area very well. We did not waste any minute of the 7 days. Oleg and Maria tried to show us the most beautiful compositions and points for landscape and many thanks to Maria for some technical help. It was a dream trip for me, every minute was full of photo and dream!""

""Wow! What an incredible workshop! My husband and I attended the October Dolomites workshop with Oleg and Maria, and it was fantastic! The workshop was well organized, the accommodations were great, and the instruction from Oleg and Maria was excellent. The locations we visited were absolutely spectacular. It was the perfect combination of photography, hiking, fun, and laughter. An added bonus was the delicious food we enjoyed throughout the trip. If you're looking for a fantastic tour, look no further. We're already considering one of their 2025 workshops and hope to join them again!""

"In 2024, I participated in photo workshop, with Oleg and his partner Matia on a trip to the Dolomites. As a professional photographer myself this was my first lead workshop. I went with a couple of friends which is how I found out about Oleg. Warm smiles and an easy going demeanor was there to meet us during our initial pick up at the airport. From there it was a none stop adventure going to over 10 breath taking locations in 6 days. Every trip was well planned with spontaneous stops along the way. Accommodations were excellent and Matia scouted for the best the restaurants along the way. Be prepared to get up early and stay late as Oleg’s enthusiasm is contagious. Each location more specular than the last. If it looks like rain-no problem his total optimism will ensure you get a good capture regardless of the conditions. My biggest concern on these type of trips was everyone standing in a row taking the same image. This was totally alleviated as he encouraged all us to find our own locations and if you needed help he was right there to assist. Most importantly both are amazing photographers in their own right and will easily assist you regardless of your camera knowledge (drone as well). He will also go over some of his own post processing techniques. Needless to say, by the end of the trip I now consider us friends, and will now be taking my second trip with him to Iceland. If you want a fun filled photographic adventure look no further. You will not be disappointed with the value and you will come back with some incredible captures - guaranteed."
