Support a Student Photographer from San Diego

Hi! I’m Derek, and I’m a student photographer located in San Diego.

On 10/24/2024, my high school unfortunately restricted access to cameras and lenses that I borrowed frequently to photograph many of my school’s teams and Del Norte's sports community. I hold no grievance against them, but this leaves me where I am today without a camera and lens to use in the future. As of now, I need about $3K to purchase both the camera, lens mount adapter, and lens I would need to continue my career in photo. I don’t want to let go of photography, and anything would help. If you can’t donate, a simple share or repost of a link to this or following the account dt . stills (here) on Instagram would help too. Thank you :)

Cost breakdown:

Camera (Canon EOS R8): $1,299

Adapter (Canon EOS EF R Mount Adapter): $125

Lens (Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Telephoto Zoom Lens): $1,150 to $1,500

Total: $2,575 to $2,925
