I've been using Deutsch Photography since 2015--both for professional photos and personal ones. There is no other photographer I'd to use. Brett is a pro. Be it for headshots or engagement shots, he captures the magic of everyone!

Deutsch Photography in New York City is by the best place to get headshots for your business or website. I had Brett Deutsch himself photograph me and the results were awesome. I use my headshot in my bio and on my linkedin and anytime it is requested for an event where I am speaking. Brett is loved by all of my friends in NYC who have worked with him not only for company portraits but also for bar and bat mitzvahs, weddings and family photos. I highly recommend checking his website and view the galleries. Really great stuff. Stop reading reviews. Call Brett right now!

The Shift/co team is in awe. Typical corporate event photos are often rather boring, but Deutsch Photography was amazing - they really captured the attentiveness of the audience, the passion of the presenters and the spirit of the interactions between the two groups. I also loved their photos as we set up for the event, and at the end, Brett took a few extra minutes just to shoot some team portraits. I'll absolutely use Brett and Sherri again. Thank you!

Deutsch photography worked an event we recently hosted. They were fantastic! The conversations in the lead-up were thought-full and timely, Brett was on-time and completely a professional the whole time, and most importantly the photographs are AMAZING! In this Social Media driven world, if your event is not photographed, it did not happen. Having a photographer that you can trust to get the moments that tell the story of your event is truly priceless. Thank you!
