MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR

John Peltier

I started my teaching career in the U.S. Air Force, where I was an F-15E flight instructor for ten years and wrote training curricula. I continued to teach flight lessons after transitioning to civilian life, and ultimately, photography instruction. 

My photography passion is telling stories through photography. I've worked on documentary projects for nonprofits around the world and have also taught photography lessons on three continents. 

I've been a professional photographer for almost 15 years, having been published in places like New York Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, Tahoe Quarterly, and the U.S. National Park Service.
