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.

Curt Brooks

This course covers so much more than processing photos, which was my original expectation. From the organization of one's photos to storage and backup to the "business" side of photography, this is one of the most useful courses that John offers.

Kevin Lamport

This course is extremely informative and expansive. It includes aspects of photography that seem obvious such as organization, as well as a great deal of information about things I never considered, from storage to sales to processing. The course is well worth the cost.

Jos Smeets

As the title of the course indicates, it is all about what to do after you have taken your photos. And that is exactly what you learn. I was struggling some time where to go with my photos and this course really helped to set my targets and give my photos a new life.

Frequently Asked Questions

After the Capture is software-agnostic, meaning it doesn't teach any specific editing application. The workflow principles, file organization strategies, and post-processing concepts apply regardless of what software you use. You bring your tools; the course gives you the framework.
That said, examples are shown using Photo Mechanic, Capture One, and Lightroom Classic.

The course includes 21 instructional videos totaling almost exactly 6 hours.

Videos cannot be downloaded for this course. However, you can download PDF outlines for each chapter that include all the key points from the videos.

If you purchase this course alone, then you'll have access forever and can come back whenever you want.
If you're enrolled in this course as part of the membership plans, you'll have access for as long as you're a member.

I encourage you to try out the free previews before purchase.
Full refunds may be issued within 30 days of purchase, and only if 50% or less of the course content has been accessed.
