Can I refund the photo deposit?

Legal analysis: it is the other party's responsibility not to let the other party take pictures. Double the deposit and refund the photo fee. But if you don't go to the studio for your reasons, it will violate the original agreement. The deposit is non-refundable, but the money for taking pictures is refundable. If the other party doesn't pay back, first negotiate, then complain, if not, bring a lawsuit to the court.

Legal basis: Article 586 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), the parties may agree that one party shall pay a deposit to the other party as a guarantee for the creditor's rights. The deposit contract is established when the deposit is actually paid.

The amount of the deposit shall be agreed by the parties; However, it shall not exceed 20% of the subject matter of the main contract, and the excess shall not have the effect of deposit. If the actual amount of deposit paid is more than or less than the agreed amount, it shall be deemed as a change of the agreed amount of deposit.
