DeLuxe Studio was a photography studio operated by Jacques Wambsganss and J. P. Harding from around 1916 to the 1930s.

The studio, opened by a former printer and operator for Bert Covell, was originally located at 1918½ 2nd Avenue North, above the Jobe-Rose Jewelry Company in downtown Birmingham. By 1935 it had moved to 1923½ 1st Avenue North until 1935.

In addition to portrait photography, the studio offered copies, enlargements and framing services, and also processed film for other photographers. In the 1920s DeLuxe Studio furnished many of the portrait photographs reproduced in The Birmingham News.

In 1933 the Highland Marinello Beauty Shop offered a free $5 portrait at the DeLuxe Studio with any permanent wave treatment costing $7.50 or more.
