Emma Wang Ko

Hi! I'm Emma, a 1st year Biosciences student. I want to be the Events Officer because I believe the only way to learn how to take pictures or improve is to get out there and start shooting! Currently, I believe there is a lot of space to include more activities. My idea is to plan weekly photowalks for people in the photography community to practice and explore different styles, all while meeting like-minded people. No commitment, no judgment, no pressure! 

Not only that, but I believe this society could benefit a lot from collaborating with external people, such as photography societies in other universities or inviting professional photographers in the industry to give us their insight. While I know that we don't hold the reputation of other societies like FilmSoc, I think there is much potential that can and needs to be exploited.

Other possible ideas with me include: monthly photography competitions, costume parties, agreements with camera shops for discounts, more photography workshops to learn (introduction to lighting, composition, color...), 24hr photography challenges, collaborations with music, sports or nature societies... (all fun stuff!)

I am confident that we can elevate this society and create a community in which we are all excited to participate. As Events Officer, I will strive to make the best out of the position and bring the best opportunities for all sorts of photographers. If this interests you, make sure to vote for me :)
