About Our Staff
Mark P. Mallett
Owner and photographer, Mark P. Mallett was the previous owner of Schindler’s Studio.
Having purchased the studio in 1975 from brothers Edward and Walter Schindler, he dedicated his career to keeping the studio equipped with cutting-edge technology while providing personal and professional attention to all clients. Having directed the studio through the digital revolution of the nineties and remodeling the physical premises at the 100th anniversary in 2008, the studio was well equipped and expertly staffed to carry through the second century. Mr. Mallett is a graduate of Bucknell University and a fifty-three year resident of Union County. Professionally, he is dedicated to being inclusive with regard to his client base. His expertise in lighting, posing, and printing makes his photography exceptional. He is knowledgeable in state-of-the-art techniques. Mr. Mallett is known for his photography and is often referred to as “Mr. Schindler” to many of his local customers. And with more than 50 years in the business and 60 years of photography expertise, he has now eased into retirement.
