Build Real Photography Skills, With Help When You Need It

You’ll learn how to use your Nikon Z camera effectively, and more. You’ll work on composition, learn how light behaves, develop a practical post-processing workflow, and explore creative approaches that apply no matter what you’re shooting.
Along the way, you’ll be practicing, reviewing your work, and getting feedback when you’re unsure why something worked or didn’t.

MEET YOUR TEACHER

John Peltier

I've worked as a documentary photographer since 2012, with projects in Haiti, Guatemala, Uganda, and more, and publications including New York Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and the U.S. National Park Service.

Since 2017, I've brought that rigorous field experience to teaching, primarily to beginners working through the same struggles you're probably facing right now. These courses are built around a proven method to simplify the way you learn photography.

Frequently Asked Questions

All of the courses in the list above are included in the membership. I'm also currently adding & updating new courses all the time, so there's more to come! You'll also get a code for discounted one-on-one mentoring sessions via Zoom.

The Lifetime Pass is a one-time payment to access all courses currently available and all courses publishing in the future.

The only thing you're choosing between is paying over time versus paying once.

You will have access to all material for as long as you're a member. You can always go back and redo lesson modules and rewatch videos if you need to. Every course also includes PDF downloads, so be sure to get those to have if you ever decide to cancel your membership.

You may cancel at any time in your Account Settings. You'll lose access to the material at the end of the billing period (month or year) for which you've paid.

If you'd like a refund, you can view the conditions for membership refunds in our Terms of Use.
