the focus studio
the focus studio opened as a production company in january 2001, quickly gaining the respect of the fashion and advertising community, and becoming one of the premiere production companies in los angeles.

in june of 2004, elena vannucci and greg broussard embarked on a creative journey to bring a state-of-the-art daylight photography studio to venice beach.  sensing the resurgence of the venice beach boardwalk, they teamed up with renowned architect susan nardulli (whose design credits include les deux café and the american airlines terminal at lax) and converted a 1,300 square foot studio loft and a 1,700 square foot art gallery into the 3,000 square foot photography studio that it is today. 

located only 50 feet from the beach, the focus studios’ stylish appearance, low-profile and beach location makes it the perfect place for photographers to get the most out of their subjects.
