Welcome to another Fund-A-Photographer Video where with the help of Canon, we're able to change photographers' lives. Thank you to ThinkTank Photo and Prograde Digital for your support of the project as well. This time around we help a teacher who's given so much back to the students, that it was time to give back to him in a BIG way.

This series makes me cry everytime. I started the video saying i'd be strong this time... now i'm crying a lot. Really nice job on finding those people that'll have their life changed forever

[@daniellove162]

I never cry but my eyes are very sweaty.

I had a professor in college who was amazing. After I graduated and started my photo career, I got a contract to shoot a large group portrait. I called that professor to tell him that I got my first “commercial” gig and to ask him some questions. We discussed my setup and he told me that I didn’t have the correct gear for the job. He then offered to drive 3 hours down to where I live and to let me borrow his personal gear to get the shoot done right. That one shoot went extraordinarily well and helped catapult my career. Now going on 6 years later, I have a fully fledged business, a large studio and a calendar booked 6 months out. I routinely call that professor and every time I’m in my old college town we go out to lunch. It’s amazing how generous and caring people can be. Now, I am excited that this year, I will be hosting fiend trips for my old high school’s photography class to my studio in order to try to pass along some of that help that I was given along the way. Keep on doing awesome things Jared! The world deserves more people like you!

[@john2000l]

I do not care what brand of Cameras you use or like, Jared is doing exactly what "paying it forward" really means. This is a Teacher, and he is doing it right....his kids mean everything to him, and those are who we need in the classrooms. Thank you Jared and Canon !!

[@erinb7032]

This brought me to tears. This teacher is amazing! So many teachers personally fund their classrooms, and to hear how much he's dedicating to his students is so heartwarming. So well deserved!!

[@froknowsphoto]

i agree!!!

[@masterchief6280]

Jared, I spent 30 years in the US Navy as a Combat Photographer and your generous heart and spirit brought tears to my eyes. Thanks to you and Canon you changed peoples lives forever.

[@nylonguitar]

I am new to your channel Jared. I just bought my first camera (Sony A 7 IV) at 70 yrs. old. I am so grateful to have found you. Like a needle in a haystack of so many KZbinrs sharing their knowledge of the camera world. This is such a great act of love on your part. I have so much to learn from you. Thanks for sharing!...Steve

[@froknowsphoto]

thanks steve

[@jametalb]

I'm pretty sure this is the best thing I'll see all day. Well done Jared. Thank you to Canon for giving back.

[@froknowsphoto]

we love it.

[@mixxmstrmike]

Who's cutting onions?!?!?! Talk about paying it forward. Those kids will forever remember the impact you made on their lives. This assured me that I did the right thing in purchasing your presets. No worries supporting you, Jared!

[@matches81]

Thank you Jared, Canon, Think Tank, and Prograde for doing this for such a deserving teacher and school. I already shoot Canon, and use Prograde. I’m in the market for a bag, Think Tank is getting my business now due to this video. Truly touching.

[@PhotoNinja93]

Man, if only more people will follow your lead. If only more "influencers" will use their influence like you... the world would be full of proud teachers, and encouraged kids. THANKS JARED! This video made my day!

Awesome video but those final minutes were a little hard to watch because of an eye leak... 😭😭😭

Well done to the coach, his kids, Jared,and Canon. Who knows where these kids will go from here!

[@thetaz3910]

This is the way it should be, thank you so much for helping the teacher and children. Thank you again!

[@abrahamtomahawk]

What a great idea. so much of the creative arts can be out of reach for kids with less means which keeps them out of the learning curve. Good on you for getting this done!

[@rudyreimer302]

WOW! Jared does it again and again! Changing lives and making a better future. Awesome stuff.

[@tonyw3250]

This is the best part about this channel, hands down 100%. well done Jared for making this happen

[@rlmtech]

Thank you Jared, Canon US!!! Wish I had opportunities like this growing up this will make such a huge difference to these kids !!!

[@chris.fitzgerald]

These are the stories we need more of these days, good teachers doing good things for their students, not asking to be rewarded going above and beyond. There are far more of them than the teachers that get on the news for all the wrong reasons. Big thank you for Jared and the companies who are able to give back, we need more of this, and need more positivity in our news feeds.

[@joshbarkley4587]

Nothing but praise can be said about this. Jared, Canon and everyone else involved should be immensly proud. THIS is the kind of behavior we need across the globe. Share the wealth. Together we are stronger. Paying it forward has to be one of the best feelings on the planet.

[@plasmaBrain]

I’m not crying… you’re crying… no.. no… just some dust in my eyes

[@Jagrajagra]

*hits the “like” repeatedly* Oh wait, that wouldn’t work. Damn. Still, you know what I mean… This is a good thing. In a world that often seems uncaring and false or money-obsessed, being compassionate feels like a kind of rebellion sometimes.

Absolutely fantastic. :)😮

[@jolatunde]

As a photographer and have worked in education for over 15 years, I totally understand the struggle for teachers in TV production/ photography. I've been pushing for new gear in our district for years, but students are stuck with t4i's and kit lens to learn from. This was extremely generous of you and Canon. Hats off to you sir.

[@MrJak427]

Utter most respect to you Jared and canon for enabling these students ambitions so good to see.

[@Fr3shest]

This is awesome. Wholesome video, great teacher, and super gesture Fro!

[@Zavalas_Productions]

Hey Jared, I just wanted to take a moment to express how much your content has meant to me. I’ve been following you for a while, and your passion, energy, and wealth of knowledge have truly inspired me. As a young sports photographer, it hasn’t always been easy navigating the world of photography, but your videos have been a constant source of motivation and guidance. Whether it’s learning new techniques or just getting inspired to keep pushing forward, your advice has been a huge part of my journey. Right now, I’m using a 75-300mm kit lens for my sports photography, which has been a great starting point for learning the ropes and developing my technique. I’ve been shooting a lot of football, and lately, I’ve been dreaming of upgrading my gear with either the 70-200mm or a 400mm prime lens. I know those lenses would be a game-changer in capturing those fast, high-energy moments on the field. I can only imagine how much more I could capture with that level of sharpness and reach. My sports photography page is growing, and I can see how having that kind of gear could really help me bring my vision to life. It’s a goal I’ve been working towards, but I could really use some help to make it happen. If there’s any way you could offer some advice, guidance, or even help me out in reaching this next milestone in my photography, I would be so grateful. My Instagram page is @zavalas_production, and I’d love for you to check it out and see where your inspiration has taken me so far. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into this community and for being such a huge influence in my growth as a photographer. I can’t wait to see where this journey leads me with all the things I’ve learned from you. Thanks again for everything, Jared!

[@spencerheathphotography3119]

Thank you Jared and thank you canon. You’re out here changing lives and raising the next generation of creatives. I hope God blesses you both tenfold. No amount of thank you’s can say how grateful we all are for you. Keep up the good work!

[@MeadorsMusings]

Thank you so much for these videos. With so much negativity flying around, it’s amazing to see people such as yourself giving back and trying to do your part to help out. The kindness and love shine through and you can see how much yours and Canon’s gesture really impact and bring smiles to the faces of those you’re helping. Thank you and I look forward to the next one whenever it is. Keep up the great work.

[@zippofire8550]

Really awesome of you Jared, you have my respect! Greetings from Switzerland!

[@TW-iu9zy]

… is he? Or is Canon fantastic? 😏

[@TheJOATshow]

This is amazing! I recently joined a high school and they knew that I was a professional photographer. I asked them if I could start a photography club to help get the school students involved in more extracurriculars. I was granted permission and a few weeks later, we were able to have our first meeting! Out of the 30 students, maybe 6 have camera. I went out and reached out to my community to gather 4 cameras for some of the students to use and learn on. Its limited, but they are loving it! I even let them use my professional gear to show them how to adjust for certain effects, etc! I love hearing these stories! Keep spreading the love!

[@movemountainstomanila]

I wish I had teachers like this, I would have taken a very different career route and been doing something I love to do now as a hobby. What a selfless guy. Thank you Fro for recognising this special guy

[@stephenthompson1998]

Jared you bought tears to my eyes seeing the joy you bought to that teacher. Just brilliant

[@olaniyionabanjo6574]

Hard work and a good heart are what the Teacher posseses that paved way for this opportunity. Congratulations to him and thank you Jared

[@paulchilton6837]

Hi Jared I'm across the pond in the UK, just watched this video, and of course I'm snivelling like a monsoon in rainy season. I got into concert photography after my wife died 4 years ago, and the passion and addictive nature of cameras and lenses to improve my pictures has got me through some tough times. I have a Canon R6 and various EF lenses I've picked up second hand. Often after watching your reviews on lenses. I love your knowledge and attention to detail. Keep up the good work. Kids are the future, and given an advantage to shoot using gear of this quality can only inspire them to May be become as addicted as I am.

[@CoffeeSupremacy712]

Wow! That's emotional. I for sure can relate to what they feel. I just spent my life saving on a 1Dx mk1. Will do some grind so I can get some lenses in a couple months.

[@rjamarion4]

Jeff, admirable for including kids in something they may never have had any exposure to and Jared, for your dedication to the art of photography. Great way to start my day.

[@peterbuitelaar8543]

Beautiful to see how devoted people who are helping kids with their education and motivating them like Jeff Campbell are so touched by a gift like this. Very touching and it makes me to rethink what I have to do with my equipment when I can no longer use it anymore because I'm in the last part of my life.

[@Jonbark03]

Truly amazing and just a true class act Jared. Been watching you for the past 8 years and have learned so much from you.

[@djeighty8421]

I’m not crying some is cutting onions under my eyes. Jared thank you for what you do. You have helped so many people directly and indirectly. I’m a Canon R8 user and you don’t know how much your user guide has helped me learn my camera to create some incredible work and become a requested fashion runway photographer in my area. Please keep up the amazing work with your team. The photography community truly appreciates you! 🙏🏾

Awesome, thanks for doing that and thank you Mr. Campbell for being such an amazing and dedicated teacher. I started letting my daughter take my old 5D MKII with a few lenses to high school so she can capture photos for them this year and this week my younger daughter signed up to be in her schools yearbook club so she can take photos too. Love seeing kids inspired to get out and shoot. 🎉

While Sony is spending all this money on fancy trips for influencers and media people, Canon is giving back to the community, giving gear a new life and helping out some kids in need. Well done Jared, canon and the rest

[@mepe6809]

No matter the department (cameras, consumer electronics, PlayStation, etc.), Sony has been and will always be an arrogant, obtuse corporation, in part because of its rabid, almost cult-like die-hard fans.

[@6gwilliams]

@morganwalter Please know the facts, all the major brands , including Canon spend for fancy trips for influencers and media people. Canon has paid for trips for them to Hawaii and Europe, just the facts. Sony has programs that give back to photographers around the world, from America to Australia, and Japan. Canon giving all this $$$$$ of gear to Jared's program is why Jared is now bought, sold and owned by Canon,, and Jared is no longer an impartial or independent reviewer and has lost the respect of this International Award Winning Pro of 50 years in the business that has used all major brands as a staff newspaper and magazine photojournalist and also as a longtime Professor of Photography, teaching hundreds of photo students at a state university. I have know Jared since his days starting out at Allen's Camera and I was a staff photographer at the Philadelphia Inquirer Newspaper. Allen's is still my fav mom and pop dealer. BTW Jared was quick to still accept Sony's recent fancy trip to its Sony Kando in Southern California, where he publicly dissed host Sony in a youtube interview with Mark Bennett, while pushing Canon. Jared was just rude and totally unprofessional IMHO. Jared has gotten so big and full of himself, sadly. I appreciate the effort and long journey Jared has made to make himself big as a youtuber, but I liked him better when he was truly impartial , independent and humble. Sadly Canon's money has ended that Jared forever. R.I.P. Cheers and best to you.

[@kingghidorah8106]

@@mepe6809 it's so ironic that it was canon at the beginning the ones selling overpriced junk as gold and their customers were the die hard fans that would laugh at your sony a200 while holding the 16fps mode on their 1dx mark 2. How times have changed. I bought a Sony A7IV because it was the "last good thing in a good price that didn't make me go bankrupt because i have to sell my minolta glass" and I am now afraid of going elsewhere with other photographers around. Sony Corporation is peak greed, and Sony Alpha is at least "not so greedy" for giving lens mount adapters, and listens to the community regarding camera ergonomy. There it stops. They knew how to make themselves a "brand of culture" like Leica. I thought Sony was great during the DSLR times, their cameras used solenoids to rise up the mirror quicker and more silently than Canon and Nikon, and had image stabilization. This mirrorless overhype stuff wouldn't have happened if they weren't "the first ones to", just because they're the first ones to doesn't mean they're the best at. Although if you pay attention, you will notice that Fuji is now substituting Sony as far as cultism and overrating goes. I can't fathom how people say "fuji is better than Sony" while having A6300-like cameras for the same price of the A7RV. I just stuck to Sony because I can use my old lenses forever, and I would have still been using my A77II if it wasn't so expensive to change the rubber grip, fix the screen and change the shutter mechanism (145k actuations already) and I get very emotionally attached to cameras. I just cannot even fathom selling them, the fact they accompanied me throughout my life marking memories and satiating my hunger of pressing buttons and hearing clack and whirr and the fact i've managed to carry them out for near-decades without failure or loss or theft. Adding to this the people that were exploited to make these cameras lol. Sorry , too much text.

[@alpha-xdr]

Bruh Sony works on a global scale. Search the term ‘sony donations’ on google then come back here fan boying canon.

[@JunkieVirus]

@@mepe6809 no they are not, they actually give a hell of amount of stuff away to Schools, charity etc in Japan and other countries. Canon also hires influencers, that's the thing these days. But Sony is not that evil as je think. companies need to make money, canon also.
