Now an International name to wedding photography, Saiful also developed and annually conducts the groundbreaking and widely successful photography workshop, PhotoCamp.

Welcome on board Saiful!

Popular wedding photographer Patrick Low, today announced the official launch date of The Professional Gallery for the 10th of May 2009. The Gallery, which is a project that has been in the works in recent months, showcases the photographic art and craft of a collective of award winning and renowned wedding photographers, namely, Patrick Low, Edwin Tan, Fui Yau Yap, Joel Poon (all of Exes Studio), Jason Victor (of Jason Victor Photography) and Alvin Leong (of Alvin Leong Photography).

In addition, it also provides for truly professional back-end services with dedicated client liaison, operations and production departments all strung together in an efficient workflow system designed to ensure quality production of finished products within the promised time frames – something that today’s sophisticated brides and grooms to be have come to expect.

The end result of the combination of these elements would translate into the best of both worlds for couples to be in that they get to choose from a variety of professional photographers, as well as get true professional servicing in terms of delivery, client liaison and quality production. This would give them peace of mind in knowing that the amongst other things, delivery time is now no longer left in the hands of the photographers as these artists are often bogged down with heavy shoot schedules which in many cases within the industry has resulted in long delays.

There are also plans for the introduction of professional make-up and hair styling artists into the gallery in the near future to complement the existing collective of professional photographers.

The Professional Gallery is located at Suite J-8-12, No.2, Jalan Solaris, Solaris Mont’ Kiara, 50480 Kuala Lumpur and couples-to-be are invited to the official launch on the 10th of May 2009 where there will be a special launch promotion awaiting couples who attend. During the launch, The entire team of The Professional Gallery will be on hand to provide consultation into their art and craft, as well as the services on offer at the gallery.
