S4 STUDIO

S4 STUDIO is Birmingham’s specialist portrait studio, led by national award‑winning photographer Simeon Thaw. With well over a decade of experience, S4 places portrait photography at the heart of everything we do — from intimate family portraiture to polished studio headshots. Our work is rooted in storytelling: every portrait is an opportunity to reveal personality, connection and a sense of place. Why choose S4 STUDIO for portrait photography? Simeon’s approach blends creative risk‑taking with a calm, client‑centred process. He and the S4 team combine editorial sensibilities with fine digital artistry, producing images that feel both honest and cinematic. Whether you’re booking a family session or a professional portrait, we focus on natural expression and thoughtful composition so your images look timeless across print and online. What makes our portraits distinctive is the full S4 experience. Sessions are relaxed and guided — designed to put people at ease so authentic moments emerge. After the shoot we present your images in a personal cinematic preview where you view edited selects on a large screen and choose the pieces you love. If you want finished wall art, we offer handcrafted framing, bespoke canvases and premium photo books produced with the same care that goes into the photography. How we work: bookings are collaborative and bespoke. We listen to your brief, adapt lighting and styling to suit your vision, and apply specialist retouching and digital artistry to refine each portrait. Our Digbeth studio and creative lounge provide a welcoming space for families, individuals and professionals who want a considered portrait experience in Birmingham. While portrait photography is our core expertise, S4 also provides professional headshots and business portraits as an additional service — ideal for LinkedIn profiles, company biographies and corporate uses. These are delivered with the same commitment to craft and attention to detail that defines our family and studio portrait work. S4 STUDIO is a place for people who want more than a snapshot: you’ll get award‑winning photography, thoughtful direction, and beautiful, tangible results. If you’re seeking a portrait studio in Birmingham that values story, style and superb finish, S4 STUDIO is built to deliver.
