"I’ve tried MasterClass, LinkedIn, and Udemy in addition to just plain YouTube. John Peltier’s courses beat them hands down."

John Flores

Perfect Fujifilm In-Camera JPEGs

Tyler Liggett

Exposure Triangle for Beginners

It was great. Laid out well and quizzes did a good job of reinforcing the lessons. I look forward to continuing through the rest of the classes.

Joanne Gordin

Two-Minute Lightroom Workflow

This class not only helped to streamline my approach to post processing, but it also greatly improved the final result — my photographs. I am now more confident that I can achieve a final result that is closer to my vision while taking the photo.

Richard Skaare

Fujifilm X-H2 Tutorial

After years of learning photographic skills via online courses, I was amazed that I found such an in-depth yet easily understandable walk-through on how to use my camera.

Elene Feigenbaum

Fujifilm Camera Fundamentals

This course helped me understand my camera better. The presentations provide excellent graphics to show how to set the camera. The instructor also provides helpful and quick feedback on assignments.

Bill Farrell

Basics of Light, Composition, and Color

This is another of John's very well designed courses that covers important basics of good photography. Clear explanations and solid examples followed by very useful and engaging assignments. Well worth the time.

Kevin Lamport

Better Photography Through Visual Storytelling

This course outlines a less random way of capturing images and therefore adds a layer of interest for myself, my photography, and for the final product.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

John Peltier

I have a unique background in education that started in the U.S. Air Force where I was an F-15E flight instructor for ten years and wrote F-15E training curricula. I continued to teach helicopter lessons after transitioning to civilian life.

But I soon discovered my passion was telling stories through photography. I've worked on documentary projects for nonprofits and NGOs around the world and have also taught photography lessons on three continents.

I've been a professional photographer for over ten years, having been published in places like New York Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Tahoe Quarterly, and the U.S. National Park Service.
