Peter, you CRUSHED the story!!! You truly are a MASTER storyteller and this video is a prime example of that.
I've realized over the past few years that "giving the gift of photography" is something that actually makes me feel not only better but that I'm accomplishing something.
Whether it's giving the gift of a MASSIVE print, a photo book, smaller prints or sending someone the files...seeing the smiles on people's faces when they see their images is priceless.
I hope people hear your message loud and clear. Give the gift the gift of photography any way you can. So many people go through life only seeing snapshots of themselves. But when you can capture a "photograph" and give it to someone, it's something they will cherish for a long long time.
Thank you for including me in your fantastic story.
Jared Polin
Well said mate. Keeping photography going..
How nice of you Jared
Jared, this may not seem like much, but thanks for reppin' Philly. I live like 10 -15 minutes from your studio and it's dope to know someone in the area is creating dope memories. Stay awesome.
This... THIS... is amazing. And inspiring. Both of you guys are an inspiration to me and countless others out there. And now I can't wait to gift someone with photography. Cheers mates!
Jared Polin I didn’t know you were actually nice 😭😂
This made me cry. Last april my grandpa died. I took a picture of him and my grandma right before he would get sick. After couple of months of his passing, I printed the photo, and gave to my grandmother. She couldn`t stop crying. She said "This is the best gift anyone in my life gave me, thank you" And that meant so much to me.
So when he said giving the gift of photography, I understand.
Me too, something similar happened to me. Last time my grandmother came to visit I took a picture of her, she was a bit annoyed and wanted to go home earlier but she still managed to smile for the camera. My grandmother died last November and on Christmas I printed the picture and offered it to my aunt (which was my grandmother caretaker), she also cried alot but now keeps it in her room, so she can always see her mother smilling.
Shile That’s a beautiful moment!
♥️
♥️ Sorry for your loss.
Didn't even read the comments before I posted that I cried as well.
A lot people teach the technical "how to" side of things, but is a rare person who teaches the "why to..." side of photography. Very nice sentiment!!!!!!
What an incredible gift and amazing moment captured!
Grateful to have such a cool piece in the new studio! Thank you Jared! Check out his channel linked above! Good luck on my challenge to you! Lets do it! #giftofphotography
I am your biggest fan and I begginer photographer and is inspired by you
This was probably my favorite video you've put up yet and I love almost all of your videos so that's saying a lot. What FRO did was so very cool and how you received it was incredible. This is what I like about humanity and thank you for inspiring me to give the gift of photography.
Two of my top 5 favorite youtube personalities! Now I'm looking forward to you guys making a video together.

What's a good website to use for ordering prints?
Very inspirational Peter.
You got me crying, guys... I'm watching Peter and Jared for some time and I'm so happy for Peter that Jared was there... Because Jared can capture those moments like a boss... and he did it again with Peter... Awesome gift, love it!
Indeed. Kleenex should sponsor this one. Is my sniffing too loud?
Just a story about a bro giving another bro a picture and it was the most enjoyable thing I’ve watched all week. Your story telling is phenomenal 💯
Driven by Boost agreed 💯
That's exactly why I bought a camera. To give my friends memories in pictures. I love this message. You rock man!
I know currently there isn`t that much in the new Studio but Peter...The Studio looks so great!!
Thank you! Worked so hard on it. Cant wait for it to just cross that finish line
@@PeterMcKinnon looks like you need a little tool corner, I'm sure there will be more packages coming and IKEA drill might not cut it)))
DimON what’s wrong with my ikea drill? :(
@@captkirklucas we love your idea drill. Don't worry
@@DimONMINIpeople 1000%
You’ve got to give it to Jared, he’s very much an “all things camera news/review” channel.. but man the bloke can nail a portrait 👌🏼
"For all things camera news, reviews and discussions, stay tuned right here on Jared Polin. Jared out!"
Wait...
Great capture jared!! also the color aesthetic of your new space is flawless lol like seriously
Love this Pete! My girlfriend and I did long distance and when I left I gave her our last photo we took together (the day the long distance started). Then once we finished I gave her the first photo we took together (the day the long distance ended). Printed them in small 3x2 frames marked “Day 1” and “Day 365”. To this day she still brings them up. Goes to show even the smallest pictures can have the biggest meaning
Who's cutting onions in here?
Jared, thank you for all your inspiration.
Peter, challenge accepted!
I died when he said "a giant Nikon poster"
Insane replay _ Kudos sirO Bone
Coming from Jared, it would have been a sony poster...😜
Me too lml
@@diantownsend3350 L mount alliance
that's the cleanest, shiniest floor I've ever seen in CZcams. Jared's photo is pretty cool, too.
I was there at vidsummit seeing you speak and seing Jared taking photos. So cool🤟
I'd be static if I had been there.
“Sometimes the memory is not enough, your need a souvenir.”
Had chills when they both said at once "gift of photography"
its scripted duh, but yea good touch
This is my favorite video you've ever done. The storytelling, and message of your video left me teary eyed and inspired to do the same thing for someone else in the coming months. Thank you Peter.
I just love EVERYTHING about this! Made me cry! I have a portrait shoot scheduled tomorrow for a friend- it was scheduled before I watched this. This drives home just how special and thoughtful we can be. Truly special!
I’m not crying.
You’re crying.
Thoughtful as hell. Well done Jared.
So weird to hear Jared not being in Fro mode haha!
Great story, such a cool gift to receive when you didn't think anyone snapped it!
Big fan of you peter , love ur work , keep it up ❤️
Found you Tech PewDiePie.
I am subscribed to you..
peter god from sweden. lol
This gives me an idea. I took my brother's wedding photos almost 30 years ago with a Pentax K1000 when I was around 17. I still have the Camera. As a gift I should take their picture of them at their 30th anniversary with the same camera. It was on Kodak 35mm film.
Dude puts a camera inside his dish washer to get that shot lol. The dedication is next level haha
Dude accidentally turns dishwasher on...dedication wavers
That 1dx should be able to handle a wash cycle as long as there is no heated dry or hot wash turned on lol
iThought I was the only one who caught that Lol 🙌🏽💯
May have just been a gopro. And he most likely never turned the dishwasher on with the camera inside. He just put it in after the cycle ended to make that shot :)
Damn... this storytelling was amazing!
As a performer I know exactly what you're talking about and there is no greater feeling than seeing your audience applaud and stand up for you after you gave them your all for the last 2 hours or so! Great Video man, keep it up and hope to see you again someday for some magic tricks!
9:47 that candid pic. Just wow. Damn. That is great photo.
Agree.
Amar Mangaonkar 💯 I seen that one and said woah. Great job Jared!
Same. I was like wow when I seen it.
Seriously that's damn good though
This actually made me emotional. Thanks for sharing your stories, Peter. Your journey is inspiring and I always look forward to the next story. Congrats!
It's moment's like this that are why I got into photography. Being in the moment is valuable, but memories eventually fade. Being able to capture a moment like Jared did for you is a priceless thing.
Ok, this is my favorite video you’ve done so far. This perfectly captures the reason I spend so much time improving myself in photography, and why I purposefully choose to keep photography as a passion project instead of a career.
My friend is getting married this weekend and cant afford a photographer. I'm not the best, but I will be there to try and capture the moment for them.
good luck man
@@benjaminsantiago6339 thanks, its gonna be a learning experience for sure!
Tell us how it goes, good luck 😉
It turned our very well! Difficult to get a wedding party to sit still and stay focused for a bit but besides that we got some really good shots!
Remember you don't need hundreds in the end just a capsule collection for them...but give yourself plenty of choice to trim down from! How did it go?
My two favorite CZcamsrs having the most personal of connections. I love everything you two do when it comes to photography and storytelling and it really is all about capturing the very essence of a moment that might never happen again.
Thank you for this video!
Also I did this challenge just a few weeks ago for Christmas!
A model and friend I photographed a long time ago had mentioned how she loved the hero shot of the photoshoot from a couple years back and wished she could blow it up as a poster.
Fast forward to Christmas 2019 and I gave that image - printed on metal - to her as a poster gift and not only did it feel good but there was such a moment that she was overwhelmed with happiness when I surprised her with it and it was then that I realized how important it is to print.
I’ve been printing for the last couple of months because of it!
Peter... these are the stories that wins our hearts and minds.... you and Jared are amazing!!! ... will take on the challenge for sure!!! ... good night!🌙
Photography is art and it’s a way of expression.
Just Some Guy without a Mustache it’s an art
Two of my favourite CZcamsrs in one video. I must be dreaming.
Btw: love the new intro Pete!
A few of years ago, i lost my cousin in a tragic accident. we had an awesome relationship even though we lived in seperate countries. but i have no photos with him. growing up poor i had no access to technology. but when i became a photographer, i vowed to document my loved ones. i have tons of great images of my friends and family and i always make sure to surprise them with photos that eternalised a moment however great or silly it was...
I was kinda judged when i changed careers to be a photographer/cinematographer... but such little gifts made the people i love most... love what i do and respect it.
It is one of the best gifts of life. eternalise moments with the people you love ... we only have a few ...
cheers
That was really nice and very thoughtful of Jared. I watch most of his videos too. You guys sure help us older guys learn new things. Thank you both!
You know you are early, when the “you know you are early” guy is not here
Egy fotóblog 😂😂😂😂
Egy fotóblog so does that mean I’m late since you’re that guy and I came after you 🤔
And now the rest of us are late :/
Congratulations you are now that guy
That was such an EPIC talk man. Honored to be there. Jared did an amazing job!
Definitely love giving out prints of people I've ran across and especially people I met along journeys. I just started recently printing photos I took within the last year. When giving prints as gifts or a nice jester it really makes a huge difference when the person that's within the photo sees what you captured that'll last a lifetime.
Like so many others, this was very touching - the thoughtfulness of Jared!
I do love gifting images to family/friends but sometimes feel afraid they think I am taking the easy way out at holiday time. But the emotion I then see when they open them changes that for me. I usually end up crying at their gratefulness.
AND... challenge accepted!
Peter, when I found your channel a couple of years ago I was drawn in by your genuine charismatic personality that drove through your videos. That piece has been missing lately from your videos...but this video embodies what I enjoyed so much about your early work. I am excited for your new studio and the energy you are discovering again through this next step.
I have also been getting my Photo News Fix for quite some time and believe this collab was put together perfectly. Jared seems to be a pretty cool individual and over the past year as I have listened to him I learned that this is the kind of individual he is. Action over words.
What sealed this video for me and showed me that your fun, creativeness is resurgent was the chemex bookend shots.
Congratulations on your new place, I look forward to seeing what your create and share.
I couldn't agree more. Photography brings so much joy to us and enriches our life! Sometimes we get caught up in thinking a framed photo is a basic gift but it's so much more than that!
Man oh man. Inspirational story and true passion - a brotherhood, a sisterhood - humans....sharing, gifting, so much love!
There is so much value in capturing candid, unscripted, un-posed moments in time and then presenting that moment back to a person by way of a photograph. Very good advice as well as the challenge.

UPS Driver: "Am I a joke to you?" 🤷🏼♂️😅
Best video I have seen from Peter in a long time! The story, the composition, the colors, everything melted perfectly together 🙌
Yeah, he really nailed this one Truly captures what it's all about... Great pic from Jared as well!
@@lukeworsey Absolutely! Looks dope as hell in black and white
One of the best videos yet ! Amazing story and such a cool gift and message. You are amazing !! Keep doing what you do, there’s so many more great stories to tell and we will all be waiting on the next one !
I love it when I give people photos and later you see them on their wall or it could be as simple as seeing them as their fb , if profile pictures. The gift of photography is really one of the things that attracted me at the beginning, sometimes you forget it though. Thanks for this video, it's a good reminder. Thanks Jared aswell
Yes!!! Peter, that is the reason I started my photograph business. On my business card, I have written, "Anyone can take a picture, but a photographer can catch the essence of the moment."
Also, nice jobe with the blanket. It made a difference immediately...
Awesome line! And yes! I think it did too! haha
@@PeterMcKinnon thanks Peter!!! Your my favorite. Oh yeah, I do all my slowmo on the Galaxy Note 8 240 fps. Dude seriously!!!
This made me really emotional watching this. Honestly this is one of your best videos.... in my opinion......beautiful
totally not tearing up over this. Its so true. All the photographers i work with have had this amazing understanding
Honestly one of the greatest that you have ever posted. The feels, the vibe, the theme. And I take the challenge you set out.
I’ll be honest, I didn’t think Jarod was like that, but dude, I see him in a whole new light now.
Great story Pete, but Jarod, you da man 👍
This makes my heart so happy. Two of my favorite photographers on CZcams. Over the last I don't know how many years From taught me so very much and to keep trying. In the last few years Peter has inspired me to get out and shoot even when the world around me got to be to much. Thank you both, with out your videos I might not be doing any of this at all, ever.
DUDE HOW IS YOUR STORYTELLING SO GOOD? Not only that, but you capture the story perfectly through video. Amazing job man!
two photographer we all admire and follow by heart and story like this what makes the world so much better, wish more people do this for each other .. love both you guys ..
Around Christmas I give the photos I have of loved ones that I took throughout the year. Capturing moments in time is one of the best presents ever!
Holy shiat! This is the epitome of quality story telling, and delivering a message. Feels. 🙏 well done, to both of you.
This made me cry. You remind me every single day, why I look up to you as a mentor. Keep being you Peter :)
When a picture comes with a story, its always the best picture.
The fact he clarified “coffee grinder” 😂😂
The timing of this is blowing my mind. Just filmed a video about using the YT platform for good. We specialize in wedding films, so we're going to find a couple in hardship and give them the wedding their story deserves. Would LOVE to send you this film tomorrow when it goes live. BECAUSE! To pull this off, we're going to need to convince other wedding vendors to donate their resources, so we reallllly need this launch film to get as much exposure as possible. Flowers, cake, etc. will be easy, but a venue? And catering? That's going to be asking a lot!
Yessssssssssss THIS!!!
Man you have such incredible storytelling skills. Thank you so much for the gifts you give us on a daily basis. Love you Peter.
I was at Vidsummit 2019! Peter, your talk was super inspirational along my journey as a content creator. So grateful you have friends like Jared that were able to capture this epic moment in time for you to forever cherish. Blessings.
I'm not crying, you're crying! 😂
Love Jared always, but nice to see a mellow side of him. 😊
This is from one of the most beautiful presentations and brilliant storytelling I have even seen!
Lit!!
Nailed it!
PM and JP... you guys are amazing and truly inspirational. Sick photo JP. Peace and much love to you both!!!
this is why i love analogue cameras, everyone forgets what type of photos you take and then when you, the owner of the camera, get the photos developed and give your friends some photos and they will remind what happened that time. I love the way they start smiling like crazy and get excited over what happened that day. I usually try to plan my analogue shots on moments where i know the person is gonna forget that i took a photo, but when they'll see it again theyre going to go crazy or love it so much
I felt this in my soul, I think many of us feel this way but the way it was expressed in this video was perfect!
Absolutely love this, every second of it.
Loves this, what a legend Jared is for this epic gift. Feeling the love.
Love this video, the story behind it, everything.. and the fact that 2 of my favorite photography CZcamsrs are together in this.. amazing!!!
I was just waiting for him to raise the frame to reveal a giant replica of Jared's face!
This, was...
amazing. Thank you so much for the awesome video, man!
You deserve it Pete! As much as Jared deserve a very big appreciation for that gift. 😁
I have got something in my eyes! Yes I know what it is, it's called emotion. Love it and man these two, what a gift and I feel more connected because often, I try to give my friends and fellows the same on price of not being part of the frame myself but the reaction... that's priceless... I feel you both! we are all glad you guys are there...
One of the best videos I've seen from you in awhile. Your genuineness is what take's it home. Yes, the story telling is solid, yes the cut's and edits are what we expect. But the personal story telling and letting a little of yourself out there was great. Very cool bro and very cool of Jared. Great all around.
I do that so many times. Sometimes I take "the" picture and I say to myself.... Wait 3 years and give it.
They look so amazingly surprise and I love those faces.
That was one of the smoothest flowing, 10 minute video, I've ever watched.
That was beautiful. Great job on the gift Jared and Pete the story had me rolling a tear. Amazing.
I love this, the gift of photography can mean so many things to so many different people in so many different ways. My recent favourite is things that don't happen as often as they maybe should, family get togethers. Recently had 4 generations of my family on a photo, my Mum & Dad, me and my Wife, our daughter and granddaughter. Family spanning 76 years, just awesome!! Printed and mounted in all of our homes.
Wow!! This story telling made me shed tears. Jared has a Golden heart ❤️ and a beautiful gesture by a great photographer friend. Long live the Froman!!!!
This is such a “Man in the arena” moment
This video made me cry. The human connection and love that this represents is simply amazing. Well done Peter.
I love the chemex touch. The fact that you started and ended with it gave the story an awesome wrapped up, bow on top feeling.
You are truly an inspiration, it has been amazing to see you grow as a filmmaker
What a champ... I love Jared's stuff! Some people think he's just a cocky jerk, but he actually does care!!
What a great present! 👍🏻
~Jay aka VeeDubist
Ya he is a cocky jerk. But he's terrific at what he does. That's why I've followed him for years. 👍
Just all the feels man! So good, so moving, and powerful.
Just when darkness starts to creep in on my creativity, you’re there to shine that Aputure 120D
That was wonderful. I felt quite tearful at just how touched Peter was by the gift. Such a lovely thought from Jared x
Made me tear up. What an amazing story. You definitely deserve that moment in time.
At first, me: Umm i’m kinda sleepy, this new video is 10m long. I might fall as asleep while watching it.
Also me: didnt miss a second.
I gave a whole lotta those gifts for christmas. Everyone always smiles when they see them :)
This was so heartwarming. Love it when your videos tell stories.
Incredible story! I've been following you both for years and this is really heart warming to hear. I have gifted my photography in the past as well and it's not only satisfying to the recipient but to the giver as well. The feeling of knowing you did something that brought someone else joy with a simple gesture is incomparable to any other feeling. Thank you for sharing this.
I've been watching Jared and Pete for years now, and had no idea that they even knew each other 😂 awesome to see that the gift of photography can work even on a professional photographer
Great vid Pete!
Loved the way Jared says "Big A** Metal Print" all the time lol
😂😂😂
I agree.
This is my new favorite video. Beautifully done. You are unlike anyone else. Truly inspiring. Thank you Pete.
I didn't know I could cry from a CZcams video until now. Photos hold so many happy memories and hold so many extraordinary moments. Thank you for this story! I almost felt as though I was there with you.
10:03 aah! So that's how you clean your cameras! Have to try that too🙌🏼✌🏼
To be honest I don’t mind the sound at all! Congrats on the office build Peter, looking epic!
Goosebumps mate, awesome production and well done to Jared for the capture in time.
Jared is amazing. I learned almost everything that I know about photography with you and him! Love you both!
