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. Former Nikon Ambassador and invited Nikon Malaysia speaker. He leads the studio’s cinematic, corporate and industrial work — hotel films from Shangri-La to Hard Rock, brand profiles for Panasonic, mall content for IKEA Penang and CapitaLand, and CAAM-certified drone documentation of CHEC’s RM500M Penang Monopole Project alongside the Perai and Lumut power plants. Cooking is a personal passion; F&B menu photography stays a studio staple. Trained Rider behind the lens.
Rider Chew, based in Selangor. CAAM-certified drone pilot. Official DJI Malaysia partner on the Pocket 4 launch (also an invited DJI Malaysia speaker). Campaigns for Lancôme and Tefal; FPV cinematic flown over KL skylines including Merdeka 118; viral performance and dance films. Operates as Yuy Production on social; founder of RR Camera Rental.

What we shoot.
Eight services, two principals, one studio. Each card credits the principal who leads it. Pick a specialist — or combine both in one booking when a campaign needs the corporate film and the social cut.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
