Nychole Kwan

Hi everyone, I’m Nychole! I am delighted to be standing for President this year. Since joining the society, I’ve come to value photography as a creative outlet much more from meeting others who share the same curiosity and passion for this hobby. 

As president, I hope to diversify society events by offering more project-based or volunteering/service opportunities for members the chance to tailor their photography journey based on their goals and interests. In addition, I aim to attract a wider range of members, particularly complete beginners and create a space where they could comfortably learn new skills and develop their interest. I'd approach this by running more beginner-friendly workshops. (E.g. cellphone-only shoots could allow those with the interest but not necessarily the “fancy gear” the chance to explore photography at their own pace.) Of course, this shouldn’t take away from existing events allowing more experienced photographers to further experiment. Overall, I hope to encourage more ways for members to showcase their work so that everyone, regardless of experience level, feels inspired to participate. 

From being President of my high school’s Media Team before, I carry strong organisational and leadership skills to coordinate projects and manage partnerships. Combined with my enthusiasm for photography and the community, I believe I would be a dedicated candidate for this position. Thank you and I look forward to the opportunity to work with everyone next year!
