The Chairman's message

I am very much delighted to be elected the Chairman of the Association of Hong Kong Photographic Equipment Importers again. This is my fifth term to serve the Association as Chairman and going to be the most challenging one.

We have seen setbacks and changes in the Association in the past two years interlacing with plenty of adversities in the trade and complex macro-environment locally and globally.

As you may be aware, there are a few of new faces in the newly formed Executive Committee. They will be our new driving force and source of creativity and vitality. Let's hope the Association will thrive in a positive and prosperous manner in the year ahead.

In fact, the photographic trade is on a crossroad where we see overwhelming population of amateurs who immerse themselves into selfies and snapshots with their phones merging with the mainstream of digital camera shooters. It is how we capitalize this immense opportunity in turning the phone shooters into camera shooters that gives us the tremendous prospect. Optical superiority, ever-advancing digital technology, and creative marketing and promotional concepts could be the way ahead.

All our Association members are at the forefront of the photographic industry. We should work closely to promote digital photography as a hobby, an art and a culture.

I look forward to your continued support and contribution to the Association as well as the trade so that we can all prosper and thrive.
