"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.

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.

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.

Randall Roberts

"Third study course I signed up for.
This was the best. Easy to understand and presented in a way that made the material easy to learn."

Sarah Rocca

"Thank you for creating a course in plain English! I took my test yesterday and got a 98%! The proctor couldn't believe it and asked me if it was hard. I told her it sure wasn't easy but the course I took prepared me."

Eric Furstner

"Scored a 90% today. I started out with another study system but found myself hitting a plateau. You seemed to address what was important in a far more concise way."

Noah Fennema

"Totally worth the money. I was able to pass my test with no issues first try! This course was the only information I used to study for the Part 107 test."

Chris Perez

"This was a life saver! I am completely new when it comes to Part 107 and drones. Found this course online and within a matter of 15 days I went through this course and passed the test with relative ease!"

Brendan Engel

"Really helped me feel much more confident in my knowledge about the FAA test. Now, instead of dreading it, I look forward to it."

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.
