Not sure that Jared will see this, but I need to say his channel is valuable. He’s an actual working photographer. Not just a guy who plays with new gear for 2 weeks in his house and puts out a “review” aka a sales and marketing video. He’s actually critical and actually uses the gear in the real world. There are very few people who do what he does. I appreciate that he hasn’t taken the easy road and allowed the money trucks to pay him off. To do this while growing a channel to this size is UNBELIEVABLE. I commend him and have put my money where my mouth is to thank him. I’ve bought the presets. I bought the Bernie book. I support his work because I value his integrity. Wish for an even more successful 2023

With how critical he is with Nikon, he doesn’t hold back. He wants all cameras and gear to be great for their intended function and price. I love his reviews since it’s entertaining and what I believe to be the more honest of anyone out there.

Dude. I'm not even a photographer. I'm married to one. I never miss your content. Every time my wife edits a great photo I say -- "sure, that's great, but how does it look with Skittles?" LOL. You are so much more than "just an awesome photographer." Thank you for the amazing content, the transparency and the epic hair.

I buy everything Jared sells... He sold me a Word template with presets and it comes with fonts and color. Was only $300 and wow, every time I type a note I use Jared's Word preset and wow, it helped me to get back in touch with my grandfather, when he saw how great the fonts looked he started to cry and game me a warm hug. If Jared sold dog poop id buy it, thats how great anything jared sells is. Just love the man, and I love how much he hates things, especially nikons auto focus.

As a photography hobbyist and also someone obsessed with baseball, I’m definitely NOT tired of your baseball photos. I get that your target audience is mostly people serious about being professional photographers looking for tips, but for me, I enjoy the breadth of topics you cover. It’s not just photography, but life and dedication to your profession. Your connection to your mother (the reason for the fro), how you found your purpose in your 30’s, how you felt turning 40 and what you hoped would come in the next decade, how you manage the distractions of how your videos are trending and people’s comments on them… it’s such good content. Thank you for sharing all of it.

Fan for about 4 years but first time commenting. I really loved this video. Im a local underground music scene freelancer in Sheffield UK and this vid made me realise how close to home it is for me. I started as a timid photographer but as time went on I met bands that I photographed and became friends and acquaintances with them, as I went to more gigs I met more musicians and I feel accepted like a member of a big family. Im now at a point that Im being recommended to other bands and leading to shoots and paid work. Its a story I never thought id be telling when I first picked up a camera. Great video Jared and hope 2023 is a equal or better year for you.

This one was different. Thanks for talking about the fear of failure. Photography may only be a hobby for me but when I travel to some interesting location, taking great photos carries a heavy weight. I might not get THE perfect shot. I can't tell you how many times I didn't take the shot because the "conditions" weren't right or I just didn't like what I was seeing in the view finder. Or maybe I decided to not bring my camera with me for the day after looking out of the hotel window. I know moving forward means failing and learning. Great success is built on successive "failures". Got to just do it and get out there and not worry about getting the perfect shot. Thank you Jared.

Nice work Jared! I'm going on 39 years as a professional photographer. Most of the good things that have happened to me in this business, is because I hustled for them. I was fortunate to have been around great photographers early in my career in Los Angeles. The best piece of advice I every got as a 20 something nobody in the photography business, was from John Zimmerman in 1984. "You want to have some success in this business, SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT and then SHOOT some more." He told me it doesn't matter what you shoot, family, friends, youth sports etc. You don't get better at your photography by just reading about it. Get out there and shoot and make contact with others in and out of the business. You have a great Great You Tube channel Jared. Keep up the great work.

Getting lines straight, settings, and foremost, the gear I use is all through watching Jared’s reviews. This channel is how I keep up with the times. R5 shooter now with rf lenses. My photography has never been sharper and I’ve plunged more money than I can afford sometimes just to be as tack sharp, and as pro as I can. Old story, no point having the best gear if you don’t know how to use it. This guy has kept me going when I almost lost my way a few times. Don’t ever stop !!!
