Apeda Studio was a photography business in New York City.[1] It was established as a partnership between Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Sr. .[2] It incorporated in 1914.[3]

In 1913 the studio was sued unsuccessfully for copyright infringement, for reproducing the work of another studio, marking it as its own work, and selling it.[4]

Its photo of Bert Errol in drag featured on a postcard.[5] It published a photograph of minstrel performers in blackface.

Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. was the son of its co-founder.

The International Center of Photography (ICP)[6] and Library of Congress have collections of photographs from the studio.[7]
