About the studio

A decade behind the lens, on the ground — and now in the air.

Adam Chew founded the studio in Penang in 2012. A former Nikon Ambassador — and an invited speaker for Nikon Malaysia — he’s the studio’s principal cinematographer and the one who trained Rider behind the lens. He leads cinematic, corporate and industrial work: hospitality films for Shangri-La, Lexis Suites and Bertam Resort; company profiles for Plexus, SKF, Lokeman and Pacific West; mall and retail content for CapitaLand and First Avenue; and drone documentation for major infrastructure including the RM500M TNB Monopole Towers along the Penang Bridge corridor (flown by the studio’s CAAM-certified team). Cooking and photography have always been personal passions, which is why food and menu photography for F&B remains a studio staple.

Rider ChewRider Chew, trained behind the lens by Adam and now based in Selangor, leads social, KOL and FPV cinematic drone work. CAAM-certified drone pilot, official DJI Malaysia partner on the Pocket 4 launch (and an invited DJI Malaysia speaker), recent campaign work with Lancôme, and a single performance reel that crossed 211K likes. Operates as Yuy Production on social, also founder of RR Camera Rental. Different aesthetic from Adam’s lane — vertical-first, dynamic, vibrant — same craft standard.

Two bases, one studio — Penang & Selangor, with projects from Langkawi to Johor. Choose the principal closest to your story, or use both in one booking when a campaign needs the corporate film and the social cut.

Voices

What clients say.

“We’ve worked with three production houses for our property reels. Adam’s team was the only one who understood that cinematic for a hotel isn’t B-roll of beach loungers — it’s pacing. The film opened our IG engagement up 40% in the first month.”

— General Manager · Luxury Resort, Batu Ferringhi

“Our European HQ asked for a company profile that wouldn’t look out of place in a Stuttgart trade show. Adam delivered. Our procurement team now sends it as part of every RFP response.”

— Plant Manager · Multinational manufacturer, Bayan Lepas

“You don’t drone-shoot a 275kV transmission corridor with ‘a guy who has a DJI’. You need a CAAM-certified team that knows where to fly, when to fly, and what shots a project this size deserves. Adam Chew Studio came back three times — daylight, golden hour, night-illumination launch. Every cut was usable.”

— Project Lead · Penang infrastructure operator

“I’ve shot menus with three other photographers. Adam’s the only one who tasted the food first. You can see it in the shots — every plate looks like the chef just slid it in front of you.”

— Restaurant Owner · Penang F&B group

“For our regional beauty launch, we needed an MV-grade campaign reel with 48-hour turnaround. Yuy Production filmed Tuesday and delivered Thursday. The brand team approved it in one round. That never happens.”

— Campaign Manager · International beauty brand

“Rider gets vertical. He shoots a reel like he’s already imagined it on TikTok. Other crews shoot horizontal and crop later — by then it’s dead.”

— Lifestyle creator · Selangor

“Our Christmas activation needed an aftermovie clients could feel from their phones. The same studio that shoots our annual property reels cut us a 30-second vertical that became our highest-CTR boosted post that quarter.”

— Marketing Director · Mall & retail group
