COMPANY PROFILE
LIGHT PAINTERS Photography Studio
commenced operations in Malaysia in October 1997. It started as a team of two only, Marc
and his wife, Shyleena. Free lance assistants and agents are now hired when required, but
the management remains and will remain the same - that's what marriage is for...
But then... what has changed ?
1. The Team
of Two became a Team of Four as we welcomed the Birth of our twin boys Dayan and
Aidan. In twenty years time or so, we might have 2 more photographers...
2. We are now located in an industrial lot
(groundfloor) in Subang, with ample parking and larger working space...
3. New services are now available for our existing and
future clients, such as indoor vehicle and furniture photography.
And last but not least, our client
list, after less than two years of existence, now allows us to be considered as one of the
leading photography studios in Malaysia....
