The agency was founded in November 1979 by Margot Klingsporn who is still shareholder and director.

From the very beginning, the representation of well known photographers has been the target, as well as high quality photography. Today, the agency cooperates with the leading photojournalists worldwide and the most important agencies.

The photographers works are published in German and international magazines and newspapers as Stern, Geo, Der Spiegel, National Geographic, Paris Match, El Pais, Time Magazine etc..

Focus supports international book projects in which photographers all over the world are involved.

Besides the traditional work with print media, the agency is well connected to PR and advertising agencies. Many of the photographers do corporate work for companies and industry as well for cultural institutions and the tourism industry.
