Our Story
Apex Studios was founded in 2018 by Elena Ramirez, a seasoned photographer with a passion for fostering creativity in the Austin community. Elena recognized the need for high-quality, accessible studio spaces for photographers, videographers, and podcasters in the rapidly growing Austin market. Starting with a single studio space in East Austin, Apex Studios quickly gained a reputation for its state-of-the-art equipment, comfortable environment, and exceptional customer service.
Driven by the increasing demand for creative spaces, Apex Studios expanded its facilities in 2020, adding two additional studios and a range of new services, including equipment rentals, post-production assistance, and workshops led by industry experts. We've since become a hub for Austin's vibrant creative scene, hosting everything from fashion shoots and music video productions to independent film projects and popular podcasts.
In 2023, Apex Studios moved to its current, larger location on Music Lane, bringing us closer to the heart of Austin's artistic community. Our new facility boasts three fully equipped studios, a spacious client lounge, and a dedicated editing suite. We continue to invest in the latest technology and provide our clients with the tools and support they need to bring their visions to life. We are proud to contribute to the dynamic creative energy of Austin and look forward to many more years of serving the local community.
