Adam Chew Studio · Photography · Videography · CAAM-certified Drone · Across Malaysia since 2012
From boardroom to power line, runway to dinner table.
Two principals, one studio across Malaysia. Adam Chew leads cinematic, corporate & industrial — Shangri-La, Lexis Suites, CapitaLand, Plexus, SKF, TNB. Rider Chew leads social, KOL & FPV cinematic drone — Lancôme, official DJI Malaysia partner.
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 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.

“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.”
