"An absolutely brilliant course! Without John's courses, I wouldn't be able to maximise the use of my Fujifilm camera at all. He makes it understandable, and achievable. Now for the fun!! :-)"

This is a great course for guiding you through the steps of building and fine-tuning your own recipes to capture just the right look that you had in your head. It also covered some gotchas I wish I'd known about before I made some mistakes in the field.

Rick Rohles

The complexity of customizing Film Simulations using Fujifilm cameras along with X RAW Studio is simplified, well paced and brilliantly explained in this course. A “must see” if you want to get head around this powerful Fujifilm feature.

Bianca Elizalde

This is perhaps the most comprehensive course out there on Fujifilm film simulations and how to modify it to your liking. It's easy to follow, presented wonderfully with good video and explanations, it will change the way you shoot with your Fujifilm camera.

David Lightner

Thank you, this is the concise information in learning how to create the film look I want. This is an extremely comprehensive approach and takes a lot of the trial and error out of using the Fuji x cameras successfully.

John Peltier

I've been teaching in-person photography lessons since 2017, primarily to beginners using various camera models. Everyone has the same struggles, and I'm sure you do too. I've brought a proven method of addressing those struggles to these online courses.

Aside from teaching, my photography passion is storytelling. I've completed photodocumentary projects worldwide over the past 15 years, in locations such as Haiti, Guatemala, and Uganda, and have been featured in publications including New York Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and the U.S. National Park Service.

This course will work for nearly any Fujifilm X and GFX mirrorless cameras. However, some cameras do not allow you to program custom settings into the camera. These are the X-T100, X-T200, X-A5, and X-A7. The X-S10 does allow this, but you only get four settings while other cameras allow for seven.

The course content is all in English, but the videos have subtitles in Deutsch, Français, Polski, y Español.
