Meet Ganabathi Arumugam
Wedding and portrait photographer in Taiping, and a Certified Professional of the Master Photographers Association (UK).
Taiping born, internationally recognised
Ganabathi grew up in Taiping and studied at St. George’s Institution before turning a lifelong love of photography into Ganzgraphy Photography, and later into Tinder Click Photography Studio on Jalan Kota.
Today the studio is known for Malaysian Indian traditional weddings and lifestyle portraiture: multi-day Hindu weddings, Registration of Marriage ceremonies, engagements, and pre- and post-wedding cinematic sessions, alongside thematic newborn portraits, cake smash sessions, maternity and Bride-to-Be editorials.
What sets the studio apart is old-fashioned craftsmanship. Lighting, posing and retouching are done by hand, with no reliance on generative AI. Drone views add scale to outdoor ceremonies, and finished work leaves the studio as fine-art albums and framed canvases from master print labs, shipped across Malaysia and abroad, including Singapore.

What clients value most
Cultural fluency
We know every ritual of a Hindu wedding, from the nalangu to the thaali, so we are in the right place before the moment happens.
Crafted, not generated
Real light, real direction and careful hand retouching. Your photos are your memories, not an AI’s idea of them.
Heirloom prints
Fine-art albums and framed canvases from master print labs, shipped across Malaysia and to Singapore.
