About us
Greeting from the Chairman
All Japan Alpine Photographic Association is acting to promote mutual friendship among members through alpine photography, and to share the splendor of the surrounding nature with many people by presenting photographic works. The photographing object is a wide range of nature from country side forest to alpine ridges.
The members are wide range of variety, such starting photographing after a long experience of climbing mountains or admiring mountains too much, or staring as a hobby after retirement, etc.
The members have a lot of merits, such as learning photography while stimulating each other in a monthly meeting or a photo workshop, or being able to participate in the photo exhibition held annually, etc. Above all, communication and interaction with other members who have similar views and common topics is pure fun and makes quality of life richer.
In order to join our association, there is a review of the applicant’s work which is not a high barrier. Please feel free to take on the challenge. Our motto is “everyone enjoys photography in different ways and respecting diversity”.
Please enjoy photo-life and participation with all our member. I sincerely welcome new friend as a member of our association.
