I first met Olga at Middle East Fashion Week in Dubai, where she was the lead photographer for the event. From the moment we started working together, I knew I was in expert hands.

She didn’t just capture the runway shows — she created breathtaking editorial shots before the show even began, highlighting every detail of my collections. Her photographs have since been featured in multiple international fashion magazines.

Olga’s professionalism and eye for detail are unparalleled, and she makes the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Working with her has elevated my brand imagery to an entirely new level.

Olga was absolutely phenomenal during the Middle East Fashion Week. She handled every photoshoot with precision and creativity, from pre-show brand campaigns to live runway coverage.

Her photos are not just images — they tell a story, capturing the energy, glamour, and style of the event perfectly. Collaborating with Olga was a seamless experience, and the results exceeded all expectations.

As a model, I’ve worked with many photographers, but Olga made the experience truly special.

During Middle East Fashion Week, she guided me through poses, helped me relax, and created a comfortable environment even amidst the hectic show schedule.

Her attention to detail is incredible — she knows exactly how to highlight your best features while keeping the natural vibe. The final images were stunning and appeared in several top fashion publications. I felt supported, confident, and inspired throughout the whole process
