Exclusive Rooftop Access with 360° DTLA Views
Apex Photo Studios offers two unique rooftop locations—Rooftop A on Santee Street and Rooftop B on 8th Street—both providing stunning skyline backdrops and versatile layouts for production. Rooftop A features a 7,500 sq ft open space with a movable cyclorama wall (available for rent), while Rooftop B spans 7,000 sq ft with sweeping 180° views of Downtown LA and beyond.
Unmatched Location and Accessibility
Located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles, our rooftops sit within the Fashion and Flower Districts, just blocks apart. Rooftop A crowns one of the tallest buildings in Santee Alley, and Rooftop B offers an open industrial aesthetic that’s ideal for urban-style visuals. Parking, restrooms, and load-in access are all designed to make productions smooth and efficient.
Why Rooftop Shoots Elevate Your Production
Shooting on a rooftop brings cinematic scale and atmosphere you can’t get in a traditional studio. With natural sunlight, open horizons, and authentic DTLA architecture, our rooftop spaces deliver instant production value—perfect for capturing golden-hour lighting, and city silhouettes.
