About Us

A Creative Platform with a Purpose

Prestige Next is more than just a photography and videography company. We're a real-world training ground, a creative studio, and a mentorship hub — all rolled into one.

Founded by Peter Lai Su Yin, a seasoned professional with over 18 years of experience in photography and videography, Prestige Next was created as a sister brand to Prestige Studio Sdn Bhd. While Prestige Studio continues to serve clients with high-end wedding and event coverage, Prestige Next focuses on building the next generation of creative professionals.

We exist to empower young talents — especially alumni from CENTEXS (Santubong and Lundu campuses) and Bluepoint School of Digital Media — by offering them real client projects, hands-on experience, and guided mentorship in a professional working environment.

Our Mission

Our mission is two-fold:

1. To provide clients with timeless, heartfelt, and high-quality photography and videography services.

2. To offer new graduates and young creatives real-world opportunities and industry exposure that goes beyond the classroom.

We believe creativity grows best when nurtured with real experience. That’s why Prestige Next exists — to bridge the gap between training and professional work.

How We Work

At Prestige Next, projects are carried out by a mix of industry veterans and rising talents. Every job — whether it’s a wedding, portrait session, corporate video, or event coverage — is handled with care, quality, and collaboration.

Under Peter’s leadership, the team combines strong visual storytelling with clean, classic aesthetics. Our work avoids fleeting trends and gimmicks. Instead, we aim for lasting value, honest moments, and elegant presentation — whether we’re capturing a wedding kiss or crafting a business highlight reel.

For every project, newer team members learn directly from those with experience. This ensures clients receive professional results while also supporting the growth of future creatives.

Who We Serve

We work with a wide range of clients, including:

• Couples and Families — for weddings, engagements, anniversaries, and family portraits.

• Businesses and Corporates — for conferences, events, branding videos, or social media content.

• Government Agencies & NGOs — who need documentation of programs or events.

• Creative Projects & Collaborations — including short films, personal projects, or training media.

We also provide instant-print photobooths for events, which remain a hit at weddings, birthday parties, and corporate functions.

What Makes Us Different

1. A Real-World Learning Platform

We don’t just “hire” freelancers. We train alumni from local creative schools by involving them directly in client projects. This hands-on exposure builds both skill and confidence, faster than any classroom can.

2. Experienced Leadership

Peter Lai Su Yin brings a wealth of experience, having photographed and filmed hundreds of weddings, events, and commercial shoots over the years. His leadership ensures every job meets professional standards — no matter who’s behind the camera.

3. Honest, Elegant Visuals

Our visual style is timeless and elegant. We believe in clean framing, natural moments, and gentle retouching. We’re not here to chase TikTok trends — we’re here to help your memories last.

4. Local Talent, Local Impact

By choosing Prestige Next, you’re not just hiring a studio — you’re supporting young creatives from Sarawak. You're helping them build portfolios, confidence, and careers.

Our Core Values

• Mentorship & Growth
  We believe the next generation deserves a real chance. That’s why we actively mentor and guide alumni through every project.

• Trust & Responsibility
  Our clients trust us to capture once-in-a-lifetime moments. We don’t take that lightly. We always show up prepared — with backup equipment, clear communication, and full professionalism.

• Classic Over Trendy
  While we understand trends, we value timelessness. Our work focuses on storytelling, emotion, and quality — not just flashy editing.

• Community First
  We’re rooted in Kuching and proud to be part of the local creative ecosystem. We aim to create jobs, build skills, and make an impact close to home.

Our Studio Culture

We’re laid-back but reliable. We believe in working hard, staying humble, and always learning. At any given time, you’ll find our studio buzzing with project discussions, editing sessions, or equipment checks. There’s always coffee, sometimes laughter, and usually a camera charging somewhere.

We believe that creating great work should feel meaningful — not stressful.

Our Long-Term Goal

In the future, we hope to grow Prestige Next into a full-fledged creative training hub — not just for Sarawak, but for East Malaysia as a whole. We envision a platform where talented individuals can:

• Work on paid, real-world projects

• Receive one-on-one mentorship

• Build professional portfolios

• Transition into long-term creative careers

Whether they stay with us or branch out on their own, our hope is that they’ll carry the same values forward: professionalism, integrity, and a love for the craft.

Work With Us

Whether you’re a couple planning a wedding, a business hosting a conference, or a creative looking for real-world experience — Prestige Next is here for you.

We combine mentorship, creativity, and professionalism to deliver meaningful visual work — while shaping the future of the local creative industry.

Let’s create something lasting together.
