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
I never cry but my eyes are very sweaty.
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 !!
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!
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!!
i agree!!!
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.
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 RUclipsrs 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
thanks steve
I'm pretty sure this is the best thing I'll see all day. Well done Jared. Thank you to Canon for giving back.
we love it.
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.
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!
Awesome video but those final minutes were a little hard to watch because of an eye leak... 😭😭😭
Maaaaan you are amazing, I’m here crying like a baby 😭😭
Amazing to see you doing this, and I end up crying every time 😅
This world has still hope
Well done to the coach, his kids, Jared,and Canon. Who knows where these kids will go from here!
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!
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!
Thank you Jared, Canon US!!! Wish I had opportunities like this growing up this will make such a huge difference to these kids !!!
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.
WOW! Jared does it again and again! Changing lives and making a better future. Awesome stuff.
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.
I'm from South Africa. and thank you, Jared for making the world a better place 😁😁💯🤝
*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.
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!
This is the best part about this channel, hands down 100%. well done Jared for making this happen
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!
This is awesome. Wholesome video, great teacher, and super gesture Fro!
Absolutely fantastic. :)😮
Jared you bought tears to my eyes seeing the joy you bought to that teacher. Just brilliant
Really awesome of you Jared, you have my respect! Greetings from Switzerland!
Love this content. It makes it easier to blow money on Canon’s expensive RF lenses
ha!!!
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.
I’m not crying… you’re crying… no.. no… just some dust in my eyes
Hard work and a good heart are what the Teacher posseses that paved way for this opportunity. Congratulations to him and thank you Jared
Heartwarming and genuine. That’s what we like to see! Love this!
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.
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.
You're a Fantastic Human Being Jared.
😂😂😂😂😂
… is he? Or is Canon fantastic? 😏
No dry eyes here. Awesome.
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.
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.
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.
Как хорошо, что есть такие хорошие люди как этот учитель. Пусть у них все получается.
Вам спасибо что помогаете людям!!!
Wow. You and that teacher really showed out!! It’s all about helping each other and leading the way with kindness. That’s how you pay it forward. Really appreciate you for helping like that. Shows us we can b nice and inspire others
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! 🙏🏾
Great to see you and cannon continuing to give to the schools and the youth
Wow, wow! Humanity at its highest! Thank you Jared, thank you Canon, thank you teacher!
Nice. Wish I'd been that lucky at the start of my journey!
As a teacher in the system I am proud and humbled by this. GREATNESS
Truly amazing and just a true class act Jared. Been watching you for the past 8 years and have learned so much from you.
Utter most respect to you Jared and canon for enabling these students ambitions so good to see.
Teachers like Jeff are freaking awesome dudes and really set kids up for their future, even if that future has nothing to do with photography, I've had a couple teachers like him, who were crucial to my future professional life.
Jared mega kudos to you to enable people like him
That was awesome, helping kids to learn a great craft and hats off to the teacher and his dedication to the kids. Way to go Jared!!
That's what it's all about. Giving back!! Paying it forward!!
Jared, Canon, Prograde and ThinkTank, you're changing people's lives! Thank you!
Dude, I have no words........ I would love it if someone gave me at least 24-70, but what you did... there are no words to describe this.
Awesome job! You made me cry Jared! God bless you and all the nice people involving in this great job!
Nice one Jared, that was a real tear jerker! Thanks to Canon and you for doing this and to Jeff who is obviously an incredible teacher and human.
You the man Fro Knows Photo's! Making dreams come true....
This is awesome and wholesome, thank you Jared & Canon for making this possible!
So amazing Jared. Really great.
Fro your a gentleman and a scholar great job yet again supporting people that need it, i remember my photo teacher in high school was awesome like these people are and its why i love photography . thanks to sponsors too very kind of them all .
Very nice Fro, that's what's up. I wish more people in the photography industry were like that. Very cool helping that teacher and his kids.
You sir are simply a good human being. Period! And a brilliant photographer.
This is an exceptional gesture, from Canon Jared & what an amazing Teacher and human being
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. 🎉
this is why i love Jarerd. such a humble man
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
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.
@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.
@@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.
Bruh Sony works on a global scale. Search the term ‘sony donations’ on google then come back here fan boying canon.
@@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.
How wonderful is that! Thank you Jared this is the best ever!❤
Seriously this is beautiful right here. Thank you Jared and Canon. This is so awesome.
THIS is life…THIS is love. 💪🏼
This. Is. Amazing!
wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow
Okay I’m all about this series. Made me cry too. I know first hand how hard it was for me to get to where I am.
Wow, just the universe looking after its most needy kids for a better chance in life and for the future students. i love these stories (and Canon)
I love these. I hope we get to see these stories impact over the years but I’m sure it’s hard to keep track. Especially the high school students as they become adults
Jared, you are a good human. 🙌
appreciate it.
Thanks Jared! Your heart is in the right place!
Thank you for sharing this experience to the world, Jared and team.
A dream... Very exciting! Congratulations
Dem or republic I don't care your a good dude..😊I love this channel your a fantastic person.now I am in tears.
First time I see a video from this series, but definitely won’t be my last. Very cool initiative, and what a great teacher to start a photography class, and to fund it out of his own pocket!
Oooooh. Look at that lovely gear! Congrats to the lucky photographers.
it's a lot
@@froknowsphoto my daughter attended Capital Area School for the Arts High School in Harrisburg, PA. I am going to direct the digital Media Teacher to check this out. I am sure they could use some gear. Thank you for being a good person.
Okay had me in tears. Awesome bunch of kids great teacher
Great video, this is sure to inspire this teacher and the kids not only to be better photographers but learn the love found in giving back!
Amazing video! Well done Jared and well done Canon, helping young photographers and the school. This is why I’m in the Canon ecosystem! ❤
My ever out of reach 200-400 lens… Good luck to the lucky photographer who receives one!
Good on you Jerod. Very heart warming.
Had to take a moment to compose myself. What you and Canon are doing to change these kids lives is incredible. Being in my mid 50's now, and working with some 20 year old kids at horse show photography, wish I would have had something like this 40 years ago.
Bless you for doing this Jared.
Jeff is such an awesome teacher. You can tell his passion for photography and sharing it with his students. Thank you Jared and Canon for helping out this teacher with this awesome program you created. It is heartwarming to see this gear getting into the hands of people who could use it.
Good on both of you. Amazing story. It's very heart warming to see this is still out there in the world today.
Just Amazing! Thanks Jared for all the content you put out and you and Canon for doing what you do. Again just Amazing. Would have loved to been a fly on the wall when those kids saw all that gear.
I have been with Canon since 1979. I am retired now but I have spent thousands of dollars on professional gear for over 40 years. I have to say bravo to Canon. They were the first company in Los Angeles that had a program for professional photographers to repair and loan photographers. It was called the CPS program. The repairs were done in 3 days and you could get a loaner camera in the meantime. The also had a loan out program for new equipment to try out. The were helping out the communities. I believe all camera companies should be helping out students. Students cannot afford decent cameras and lenses. I hope Sony, Nikon and Fuji do the same. How cool these kids will have this equipment including Ryan to learn from. Maybe the school district can help out and give this man some lighting since he has put so much of his own money into the photography program. I know of some school districts that allow students from other schools in the same district come in the afternoon to take a photography class at one high school that has the equipment and darkroom supplies. Kids learning how to print black and white will help their skills to learn about how to light.
Damn. This hit hard. I'm not a teacher but I get this feeling. Thanks Jared and Canon!
Amazing job Jared and Canon sharing the gift of photography in a way that it will keep on giving! This is inspiring me to do more in my community to mentor students that show interest in photography! There are a number of kids asking for tips and showing interest and I'd love to see them photographing and covering events more and more. A major hurdle for students is getting access to cameras and long lenses that perform at night or inside gyms for action photography. Amazing what you and Canon are doing to help the teachers and the kids overcome those hurdles!!!
very nice of Canon! Just keep the kids off the streets and out of trouble. Thank you Jared
I had not heard about this initiative - such generosity from Jared, Canon, ThinkTank and ProGrade. I’m in the UK and I wonder whether there are any similar initiatives here - I will try to find out.
Amazing Jared! Giving back is what it’s all about.
Got me right in the feels ❤❤❤❤
Just great ,, WOW just picked this up wet and windy U K
Thank you Jared and Canon! well done 👏👏👏
All I got to use at school was black and white film, and use of the dark room. Hardly no tuition, no Google, no youtuber to get advise from. It was ftom friends, family, and fellow students that all all we all we had back then !
We need more people like you Jared!
