Dr. Russell Surasky

 

"If there were 10 stars, I'd give 10. :) ! As an actor, headshots are always a need.  I've taken many before with different photographers and to be honest, I never liked them.  I felt that they were too cheesy or something was just not right.  BUT with Barry, my experience and RESULT was entirely different.  For the first time in my career, I can say that I absolutely LOVE my headshots.  There were so many great ones and it was and still is hard to choose WHICH one I will use.  I felt that he GOT me.  He captured my soul, character, and essence to the best anyone has ever done.  I'm beyond happy.  And I can't wait to do future headshots with Barry.  He's my go-to from now on :).  I will thank him in advance for my future bookings! :) --- AND you should get the hair and make-up in the package as well! Totally worth it!  Jade's a gem!!!!!  Literally and figuratively :P ! HAHAH."

"You took way too many great shots. I’ve worked with a slew of photographers and I am lucky if I get 3 or 4 decent shots, but I have never worked with anyone so talented as you. Don’t know what kind of hocus pocus or magical spell sprinkled with fairy dust you use, but Damn you never cease to amaze me! I have spent hours trying to narrow it down and finally got it into the 4 categories I needed!  I pick favorites and then come back to it and I select different ones!! Frustrating, but in a good way!!!"

“Dear Barry,

They say, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’  That a single image can convey a complex idea to its audience better than writing a book or authoring a story.  What then is the value of the painter? The photographer? The creator of the image?  Priceless.  Thank you for capturing a few moments of my life.  Your work is invaluable!”

Barry is an excellent and professional photographer with years of experience in the field.  His professionalism, attention to detail, and technical acuity, coupled with his team of hair and makeup professionals delivers perfect headshots in a relaxed setting.  So much so, that he has a high volume of profile clients and has treated me with the same respect and delivery of expertise.

One of my favorite captures from my session with renowned photographer Barry Morgenstein.  Barry is an award-winning photographer based in NYC and is sought out by celebrities, musicians, tv personalities, politicians and the like. He and his team were very easy to work with and created a fun, professional and comfortable environment.  Looking through his credentials and body of work I’m extremely grateful that he had the time in his schedule to do my headshots and when I need to update them, he will be receiving another phone call.

Jean Ann Roberts

Model

 

 

"Before shooting with Barry Morgenstein, I had never been extremely excited or thrilled with my headshots.  I felt I was getting type cast into a limited amount of roles.  After shooting with Barry, I am completely blown away with the results of his work.  Barry captured the absolute best in me, and I can honestly say is the best photographer I have ever worked with.

 

I was nervous upon arrival since this was my first trip to NYC but from the very beginning Barry went out of his way to meet me early and accommodate me since my flight was quicker than I expected.  He took time to help me choose the right clothing and took genuine interest in putting me at ease to ensure the best photos possible.

 

His makeup and hair artist, Maureen Walsh, is by far the sweetest and most talented stylist I have ever had the pleasure of working with.  The both of them made me laugh and loosen up and created the best images I can imagine.  I am beyond pleased with every image from the shoot and now my only problem is trying to choose which ones I want to use!

 

I would recommend Barry to all my friends and associates and look forward to working with him again in the future. I feel now I have so many more “looks” that will enable me to gain more work as an actor and finally have images that truly capture who I am as an artist."

"Barry, I know that you have heard this before, but thank you for your support of our military, veterans, LEO and the basic foundations of our freedom and liberty.  But most of all, thank you for your courage to do what was right, regardless of the consequences.  You put yourself on the front line with men who humbly and very possibly turned the course of this nation by telling a very real, heartbreaking, but much needed TRUTH about Benghazi by helping tell the story through your amazing photography.  You are our brother…And make no mistake – we will always honor your work and your courage.  Not because you take one particular “side,” but because you value the freedom we have, and you defend it.  And that my friend, is untouchable…Thank you…"

High honor and much respect,

Hey Barry, It’s Hassane.

P.S. I got accepted to the William Esper Studio yesterday after meeting with you.  I’m really happy.  Thank you again.

Barry Morgenstein’s the best headshot photographer on the planet.  At the risk of giving all my secrets away, it literally took an entire village to get a good headshot of me.  The staff of Style Me Bar was amazing and between the cool photographer and great music, miracle working hair and makeup people, I felt like I could anchor the evening news! Also, a big shout out to my friend Mercedes Schlapp who recommended Barry and his team (and in fact does anchor the evening news).

Greg Myre

NPR

Based on our experience working with Barry Morgenstein Photography, I found Barry Morgenstein to have a relaxed, yet professional approach to his sessions and the people around him, which can make a long and hectic day of shooting less taxing.  Barry has the gift of bringing out the best in his clients and the ability to subtly evoke emotion in his finished images.  He has a deep respect and admiration for singers, musicians, and actors.  He is able to locate and capture beauty with ease during a session.  You begin to feel like you are just hanging out and having a good time and he happens to be taking pictures.  Barry has such a wide array of obvious talents in his portfolio.  My impression is that he can work from any location or with any type of personality.  It is now obvious why he has managed to establish so many long-term relationships with other businesses and clients.  We are definitely looking forward to working with Barry again.

Thank you for honoring our Vietnam veterans.  My beloved husband, a Vietnam combat veteran passed away (it will be 3 years on October 12th).  He died from complications from Agent Orange.  I wrote a book in his memory, soon to be out on bookshelves.  He has PTSD so bad, several suicide attempts that broke my heart to pieces.  We were married 33 years, 4 months short of 34 years.  The comfort I have is knowing he is not suffering anymore.

 

Bless you Barry Morgenstein for always honoring our veterans and today our Vietnam Veterans.

Saw your recent post and wanted to recommend Barry Morgenstein, the official photographer for Pace PR and one of the most highly sought-after pros in the business.  With a high energy personality, meticulous eye, and inviting presence that brings out the best in his subjects, Barry is simply a one-of-a-kind artist who is constantly raved about for never failing to deliver.

 

We love working with him and many of our clients have hired him as well.

Dear Barry,

 

Many thanks for the great job you did on Thursday.  You made it very, very easy and I love the shots.  How do I choose?

 

Most fondly,

 

Elizabeth Russo

I have used Barry at my studio twice and not only is he an expert photographer, but he also has the talent to make kids feel comfortable during their shoot.  He is able to capture the best in them and everyone walks away happy.

 

Michelle Marceau

Director, The Greenwich Performing Arts Studio

Hi Barry, I just wanted to say thank you so much.  I had such a great experience and I’m so happy with the photos.  I ended up choosing number five on my CD to use as my headshot (at least for now).  I will definitely be back, and I’ve been recommending you to everyone.  Thank you again!

 

Sincerely,

 

Isabel

I mean, the sentiment is very inspiring. So inspiring, it’s enough to help veterans deal with PTSD.  That may sound extreme, but what the veterans really want is to feel that they have made our society better.  Being a photographer, an artist, in fact, is a reflection of that sentiment because your work has a strong sense of justice, just like your post.  And that sentiment is somewhat therapeutic because it makes you feel that other people ‘out there’ feel the same way.  I’m tired and rambling a bit.  Sorry if that sounds nuts but it’s been a long, working 48 hours.

 

Chris Quimby

You’re a class act, sir.  You always stand behind your morals.

 

Frank Bal

Actor/Police Officer

Hey Barry!  How are you?  I’ve made reproductions of 2 different shots.  I picked two that you, Maureen, and my mom all agreed on.  #559 for my more serious face and #616 for one with a smile…I attached them to this email because I know you don’t have time to just go look them up.

 

I thought I got a lot of compliments from the black and whites, but everyone just thinks that the color ones are even more phenomenal, and I have to agree.  You did an outstanding job and I’m so happy with them.  Thank you.  Thank you!!!  Please feel free to post the new ones on your site!  I’m just so proud of them!  Shooting with you guys was fun.  Seriously though, if you need a model or subject to test shoot anything, count me in.  It’s great working with such creative people.

Best always.

 

LaQuayva

Barry, thank you for the list of agents.  Also, thank you for the very special headshots!  You made the shoot very easy for me and I think the results were very good indeed!  Now comes the difficult task of selecting which one I want to have duplicated as my first official headshot!  Thanks for making me look so good!!!  Thanks for all the help!  As always.

 

Joe Gorczynski

Barry, since you took my headshots a month ago, I have seen a noticeable increase in interest from casting directors, as well as for commercial and print.  I wish I had done this sooner.  You’re the best!!  Thanks a million!

Dear Barry,

 

"I cried tears of joy over my headshots…I will never forget my experience with you and Maureen.  Thank you for being a part of my preparation for Miss America.  Words cannot describe how you made me feel during my photoshoot.  My headshots are EXACTLY what I wanted and needed!  Your timely response to our frantic emails and phone calls in a rush was so greatly appreciated.  I thought, he can’t be that great of a photographer if he can see me in a couple of days…BOY WAS I WRONG!  Your patience, kindness, and experience was (is) absolutely unbelievable and your photographs are even more beautiful than I ever imagined.  I felt so calm and comfortable all day.  Most importantly, I left your studio feeling beautiful.  I have never felt that way before!  Thank you!  Maureen is such a doll!  I am so glad to have her as part of my “glam squad!”  You are a great pair.  Her energy and enthusiasm with your calm and comforting demeanor makes for a wonderful experience!  You both are so professional, yet friendly that I didn’t want to leave!  Thank you!  I have these photos.  I think I am going to go to some auditions for dance or acting or whatever.  Heck.  I might even have a shot at modeling with these photos (especially the beautiful red ones)!  These pictures are so good, I am thinking about leaving engineering for a while so I can use these pictures!  I am serious! Did I say thank you yet?!  I cannot thank Buck enough for recommending you.  You have made my year.  Thank you, Barry, from the bottom of my heart.  You will always be remembered as a part of my Miss Delaware and Miss America journey."

Barry, Jamie couldn’t wait to call us on the way home and tell us how pleased she was.  She was talking a mile a minute, but this is what I was able to jot down…mostly direct quotes:  It was amazing…6 ½ hours…wow!  A variety of shots…felt like a super star…he bought us lunch…I would have been happy with the three good shots we agreed on…I am coming home with 2 CDs full of gorgeous pictures of myself.  I look fresh…I look young…I look pageantly…I look glamourous…we kept finding good ones…and they were all good ones…I could literally have used them all…they don’t even need touching up…Barry gave me exactly what I wanted. EXACTLY.  I can’t thank you and Stephanie enough for putting me in touch with him…I just can’t believe how beautiful all the pictures are…there is at least one GREAT shot with every outfit…his makeup artist is unbelievable…she treated me like royalty…I love her…she held the light for Barry and kept touching me up…she made me feel so special, like I was the most important person in the world…she made me up to look exactly like I wanted…and kept me looking good all day…I am so pleased…I can’t tell you…Barry said to say Hi, several times during the day…these pictures are 10 times better than any pictures I’ve ever had taken.  I’ve never been treated so well…the whole time Barry surprised me with how friendly he is, how nice he is, and how good he is at photography.  Thank you, thank you, thank you… All I can say Barry, is “WOW” and “Thank you.”  You stepped up to the plate and hit a home run.

Barry,

 

Been through all the photos more thoroughly now…they’re great!  I pulled about 20 that you thought could work…many more than I expected to have, and I’ll go over them with Miraldi early this week.  There is at least one from almost every pose that came up empty were the blue shirt one (I wasn’t holding my body the right way to make it lean) and one or two of the standing topless ones.  But the many poses in the black lace things were excellent.  As were the other bare-chested ones.  The man’s purple shirt yielded two, and various others produced at least one.  I’m so pleased…you did a great job.  The headshots look great too…I can pull at least one from each group, blue shirt, lace with bra, and black shirt.  All great.  Please thank Maureen for me too…the makeup was perfection.  I’ll get back to you again when we narrow it down to one or two.  We still need to cut out hand boy!

Thank you so very much, you and Debbie are amazing people and we are truly grateful for everything you did for us during the retreat.  You did a wonderful job and I love all the pictures you took, like Mary Hahn said above, you captured the essence of the whole event.

 

Kathy Holman

Thank Barry for everything!  I had a blast working on the shoot yesterday with you and Maureen.  Maureen is a hoot and my makeup was amazing!  I’m sure you guys have gotten it a lot, but you work so well together.  I felt really relaxed for the whole experience.  I’m thrilled with all of the shots you got!  Congratulations!  Another satisfied customer.

Incredible team!  My Makeup by Tracy was flawless and my hair perfect.  Christian and Reza were amazing, and Barry has an incredible gift of photography.  It was a fairy tale weekend!

 

Jean Ann Roberts

Barry my angel, I have sent one of the magnificent headshots you produced for me today.  They take my breath away every time I see them.  No one has ever captured my spirit at the same time they’ve photographed my face.  You did.  Frankly, of all the photos you took, there weren’t any I couldn’t use.  You are a rare talent and I will be back anytime I need a photo…When it’s this good, you don’t take chances ever again.  With warmest regards and so much admiration for your work, Jamie.

 

Jamie Colby

Hi Barry,

 

Thank you so much for such wonderful photos!  I was fascinated by your talent and professionalism!  I would recommend you to the entire world!  And Maureen, she was great too!  You were both amazing…after all those bad experiences, I was ready to give up…and Alex recommended you!  Regards,

Dearest Barry,

 

I wanted to let you know how much I love the pictures…you’re the best!  They are wonderful and the best I’ve ever taken!  I’ve gotten excellent feedback, everyone loves them!  You are the best at what you do, and you are my favorite to work with because of your super personality and easy-going attitude!  Thank you again, it’s always a pleasure!

 

Heidi Gilles

Hi Barry,

 

Thank you very much for yesterday’s headshot session.  They are the best headshots I have taken!!

 

Georgiana

 

I have had the same headshot photographer since I have lived in New York.  I recently ranched out to try someone new and I was pleasantly surprised with Barry Morgenstein Photography.  I, of course, was very apprehensive about trying someone new.  Barry greeted me with open arms from the moment he opened the door. He made me feel at home.  As I looked over his books and picked music for my session, I became less and less nervous.  Then Maureen (hair and makeup) arrived.  What a joy she was! I need her in my bathroom every day as I get ready for work.  She was genuinely complimentary and made me feel like a million bucks.  All nervousness and anxiety was gone.  The shoot went comfortably, and I have three rolls of pictures to prove it.  Thanks, you guys.  I will definitely be back.

 

Stephen Michael Rondel

Barry –

 

I just wanted to say thank you again for everything yesterday!  I really enjoyed the shoot and all of the pictures are absolutely beautiful.  I’m thrilled with how they came out.  You really are the best.  Thanks again!

 

Remy Spencer

Attorney/TV commentator

Hi Barry!

 

I had such a fabulous time working with you too.  I consider myself VERY privileged to have been captured by your lens.  GREAT JOB!  Thank you so much for everything.  Don’t know if you have a spare moment or two, but I have narrowed it down to five for now – wanted to ask you if you had any from this group that you think stand out above all others. Everyone else likes numbers 1 and 2 so far, but I’d love to hear your opinion!  Thanks again!

 

Nancy Perla

Anchor/Reporter

Dear Barry,

 

We wanted to keep you abreast of Shannon and Felicia.  As you may or may not be aware, Preakness is a huge event for the state of Maryland (like the derby for the state of Kentucky).  And each year, the young ladies that participate in the local Miss Maryland competitions are permitted to submit to the Preakness Committee a photo along with a bio.  From the photos they chose 5 young ladies (from about 100 that enter) and Shannon and Felicia were two of the five called in for an interview (remember this is based on the photo only)!  From the interview they then choose one young lady to represent Preakness for the week preceding the horse race and then be present at the horse race.  Well, low and behold, Felicia Curry is the new Miss Preakness with Shannon Babe as her 1st runner up! (Shannon has never been called for an interview this year, and the committee chairman made sure to tell her how beautiful her photo was.)  This is a prestigious title, even though Felicia will only hold this title for one week.  She will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship along with numerous appearances with dignitaries from around the state.  All this because of her beautiful photograph and then interview skills!  Also, a bit of trivia, an African American woman has never held the title of Miss Preakness, so Felicia is now a part of Preakness history.  This letter is two-fold, to let you know about the recent events with both girls and to let you and Maureen know how much their photos have encouraged these girls.  You made them feel special as well as look beautiful.  A picture is truly worth a thousand words…and the title of Miss Preakness!  Best Wishes.

I just wanted to thank you so much for the photos…they are amazing!!!  I can’t wait to get home so I can show them to Jason!!

 

Thanks again…you are the best! Xoxo

Dear Barry,

 

You made the difference!  Thanks a million.  You’ll be seeing me again for sure.  Everyone loves my pictures.

 

Campbell Echols

Actress

Barry was incredible to work with and he took some of the most incredible shots of me ever!  Maureen (the makeup artist) was also unbelievable.  They both made me feel so comfortable and beautiful that the shots turned out better thank I hoped.  I have to narrow my headshot choices down from 50.  No that’s not a typo.  There were at least 50 shots I would feel very happy to call my headshot.  I would definitely work with Barry again and if you want great shots with a great photographer as well as great person, Barry is the way to go.

 

Laura Sterling

Actress

My boyfriend and some of our friends have had their headshots taken by Barry.  They all say the experience was positive AND the pics look GREAT!  Considering the fact that as I type this my boyfriend is with the director and producer of The Stepford Wives being considered for a speaking role, I’d say the shots have done their job!  Not to mention the fact that I know of several NYC daytime actors Barry’s shot and his pics TOTALLY capture their essence…I say meet with him and see if he’s right for YOU!

 

Lisa

Thank you for the fantastic headshots.  Everyone says they are great!  Bravo to Barry Morgenstein.

 

Patricia Rio

Barry,

 

Thanks again for the show, always heard positive things from the masses.  It was a pleasure working with somebody as talented and professional as yourself.

Dear Barry,

 

I’ve worked with a number of photographers in the past, but none of them came close to my experience with you.  Not only am I EXTREMELY happy with the results, but I had SO much fun that day.  I love your energy.  You are easy to work with and your personality ROCKS.  I also appreciate that I didn’t have to wait long for the contact sheet.  I definitely want to work with you again!  Thank you so much for everything.

Bill,

 

Just wanted to thank you again for arranging the shoot with Barry.  From start to finish it was fantastic.  The shoot itself was a great experience. From makeup to wardrobe to the actual shoot itself, everyone made me feel calm and relaxed, resulting in some excellent shots.  Barry was so available and helpful in choosing the final photo.  He is a super guy and I would love to work with him anytime.  I am very pleased with my shot and I’m planning on printing another one from our session as well.  I highly recommend him to everyone no matter what point you are in your career.  He’s simply wonderful.  Thanks for all your hard work in getting this together.  You are doing such a great thing for actors.  Hope to see you soon.

 

Laurie Lefever

 

 

Here goes…I’ve known Barry’s work for years and have actually sent many people his way that were extremely pleased with their headshots.  Ge has been a dear friend of mine for some time now, and his work clearly stands above the rest.

Hi Barry,

 

That was a fun shoot yesterday!  Thanks again for alerting me to the special.  I really like the relaxed atmosphere and natural makeup that Mary did.  Hope you got a kick out of The Monkey’s.  Cheers.

Hello Mr. Morgenstein,

 

My name is Matt Farrell.  I had my headshots done with you a few weeks ago and just recently got the contact sheets.  I want to start off by saying I LOVE the pictures.  I’m someone who HATES pictures of myself and can never say any pictures of me are good, but I really do love the shots that you did, so THANK YOU so much.

 

Sincerely,

 

Matt Farrell

Dear Barry,

 

Thank you so much for the great prints.  You really are a terrific photographer!  It was great seeing you again, and I hope to work with you again soon!!

Hi Barry,

 

I just wanted to tell you that if was a pleasure meeting you today.  It was a very good experience.  Your makeup artist (I can’t remember her name) is awesome.  Please tell her I said hi. Have a fantastic weekend!

 

Caroline Leddy

 

 

Barry,

 

Just a not to thank you for a fun photoshoot.  As I mentioned, I am not a great model; I feel much more comfortable in front of a television camera than I do in front of a photographer’s camera, but you and Rachel made me feel very comfortable, and have a great way of putting people at ease (and what a very talented makeup artist).  I look forward to working with you again.  Thank you again.

 

Debbie Landau

 

 

Barry is such a pleasure to work with, and because of his amazing work I was able to land my first job!

Chad Parson

I’ve hired Barry three times over the past six years, and I’ll do it again next time.  He is the ultimate photographer.  He’s creative, warm a consummate professional and he delivers an amazing finished product.  He surrounds himself with the best makeup artists in the business and works closely with you to determine your needs.  I highly recommend Barry…5 stars, two thumbs up, a ten out of ten experience.

 

Amanda Hazen

 

 

Dearest Barry,

 

What can I say?  Amazing? Phenomenal?  Those words – words that I have used before just don’t seem to express it properly.  Your talent is truly indescribable.  When I saw the first shots from our session I thought, “I want to pay this man the highest compliment I possibly can…as he has done for me through his art.”  So here it is.  I have two songs and I hope they get to express the creativity and excel in their chosen professions just as you do.  I hope they get to know exactly what you do…the deeply personal, wonderful satisfaction of a job brilliantly done, and a life fulfilled.  You live in the enviable position of doing truly what God intended for you.  Thank you for giving me photos that look like “me.”  I have seen beautiful pictures of me, bad pictures of me…but YOUR pictures captured my feelings.  I look at them and I am seeing pictures of ME for the first time VER!  You have a gift my friend…thank you for sharing it!  Warm regards,

 

Hedy DiCarlo

These are great!  Absolutely the best headshots I’ve ever had.  How will I decide?  Thanks so much.

I first met Barry when he judged the Mrs. New Jersey pageant in 2006.  He’s a talented and professional judge of character and talent.  He so impressed my husband, Buck Dopp, that he was hired to do headshots for all the Comcast Newsmaker’s hosts and other CN8 talent.  They were wonderful.  I worked with Barry in the business capacity and all his credentials are in perfect order.  He’s not only the best photographer that I’ve seen, but he’s a good businessman as well.  Barry also was the professional photographer for my daughter, Rebekah Calabreese and her husband, Theo Calabreese, who are both professionals in the New York City area.  Beautiful, top line photographs!  Also, Barry has provided wonderful photographs for the Miss Delaware and Miss Delaware’s Outstanding Teen for the last three years.  He’s helped bring them to another level in their competition at the Miss America pageant and the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen pageants and helped them become national level competitors.  Barry is my #1 choice for photographs and I’m proud to recommend him on many levels.

 

Stephanie Dopp

 

 

Thanks so much for the headshots.  I really love the pic you did and highly recommend you to everyone at TVI acting school.

I had such a wonderful time at my session with you, what an awesome way to celebrate my birthday!  Prepare to hear from me in the future because the atmosphere you provided for me made me feel so comfortable and the product was equally as amazing as the whole experience!

Feeling blessed to have worked today with Barry Morgenstein updating headshots and taking an acting workshop with Lisa Regina.  I recommend both of these industry professionals. 

 

Kirk Ryan McFarland

Wow!! Had such an amazing day doing an acting class with the wonderful and talented Liza Regina. Then, was BLOWN away with the A-MAZING headshots done by the #1 headshot photographer of NYC, Barry Morgenstein and help from his beautiful wife!  You guys are an amazing team.  Thank you so much for an incredible day of learning and photos!!

 

Valerie Bauer

Hey Barry.  It’s Nate again.  Thanks for the amazing shoot.  Been looking over my pictures for the last couple of days with numerous people giving feedback, and they all say there are a lot of good ones to choose from.  But back to the shoot, I gotta tell you it was great working with you and Kristen.  Great atmosphere, and it’s always a pleasure to talk about one of my passions, being The Beatles and Rock & Roll.  I’m sure I will further my mind with the list of DVDs that I must see on the list you came up with!  I appreciate all that you have done.

First of all, I would like to thank you for a great session.  I am usually nervous while doing headshots, but your availability and openness put me at ease.

 

Barbara Marest

Actress

 

 

Thank you for the headshots.  I really love my pix you did and highly recommend you to everyone at TVI Actors Studio.

 

Stephanie

 

 

Barry Morgenstein, you continue to amaze me as to all of the niches within which you and your photography live, how you have entre to the highest levels of culture, the accessibility to beautiful people and how you capture everyone’s essence so perfectly…I hope you journal, or at least take a note or two at the end of the day where you’ve been, because there is a book there, maybe even a sort of history lesson like Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

 

Joe Duquette

Actor

 

 

Just thought I’d let you know that I did a workshop with a casting director and he evaluated our headshots.  He said mine was perfect.  Thank you again for a great session last March!

 

Eliza Kelly

Actress

 

 

Hey Barry,

 

Just wanted to thank you again for the amazing headshots.  I’m so excited about them and have already received a lot of compliments on them.  I think I have narrowed it down to my top 4 that I’m going to use.  Now it’s just figuring out which of those is the best.  Thank you again.

 

Nate Thibodeau

Actor

 

 

 

I know this is probably a few days overdue, but I wanted to thank you for being so amazing with the whole headshot process, especially given how I am new to it.  You were so accommodating with my schedule change for the musical rehearsal, and then on the day of the shoot you were kind, professional, engaging and patient – everything I could have asked for and more.  Not to mention the shots look terrific!  It really was a pleasure working with you and I’ll surely keep you up to me onstage at the Playhouse.  You’re surely going to be highly recommended for next year’s graduating class.

 

Andrew Baim

Actor

 

 

Barry,

 

I thought I’d get maybe two or three nice shots from our session since I rarely like any of my pictures, and it was our first time working together; I never expected to absolutely LOVE 20 pictures!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

How’s it going buddy?  I just wanted to send you a quick email for the great work you did in making me look like a superstar!  I hope all is going well and I have already given 5 people your information on how to get really good headshots for a great price.

 

Jerrial Young

Dear Barry,

 

I just wanted to thank you once again for the great headshot you took of me last month!  I had a good time during the photoshoot and am really thrilled with the results!  When I put the more serious, sexy shot on my agent’s desk he raised his eyebrows and said, “WOW.”  Exactly the reaction you want from a great shot!  Thanks also for getting Maureen there on the day of my shoot.  She’s a great lady, great at making one feel beautiful inside and out. You two are a great team!

One of my favorite captures from my session with renowned photographer, Barry Morgenstein.  Barry is an award-winning photographer based in NYC and is sought out by celebrities, musicians, TV personalities, politicians and the like.  He and his team were very easy to work with and created a fun, professional and comfortable environment.  Looking through his credentials and body of work, I’m extremely grateful that he had the time in his schedule to do my headshots and when I need to update them, he will be receiving another phone call.

 

Brian Meryweather

Actor

 

 

Thank you, Barry Morgenstein and Lisa Regina, Actress and Acting Coach for a terrific workshop and photo session that Carly attended on Saturday.  Barry’s headshots of Carly are overwhelmingly gorgeous.  I just want to know where they hid my little girl…because the young lady in this photo seems all grown up.

 

Barry Klein

 

 

I don’t often get headshots done, but when I do, it’s with Barry Morgenstein Photography.

 

Mark Vogt

Actor

 

 

Hi Barry,

 

I mailed out my new headshots, taken by you, on a Monday and by the following week, I had a print agent.  I’ve never had a print agent in my life, Barry, and never considered that I could ever photograph well enough to get one.  I have you to thank for this new avenue in my entertainment career.  Additionally, I have more confidence as an actor promoting myself.  I am excited sending out my headshots now and I feel more professional when I walk into an audition and hand such great photos to the casting director.  Your photography is the best calling card I could ever ask for.  I am so grateful and will recommend you and your makeup artist to everyone I know in the business when they lament that they are unhappy with the photos they have because I don’t think it’s possible that I could be any happier with mine!  All the best,

 

Kat Murello

 

 

Hi Barry,

 

I just wanted to thank you for all the extra time you have spent with me, family shots and picking out pictures.

 

You have also referred me to great people.  Being new to the industry, it is very hard to know how to get started and who to trust.  I’m glad I got started with you because you have shown that I can trust you.  You have taken the time to refer the right people at the right time for the right job!

 

Please keep my email and feel free to forward me any information you think would help me.  Thank you again!

 

Have a great day,

 

Michael Esposito

Actor

 

 

Dear Barry,

 

Thank you for the fantastic headshots.  They are by far the best I have ever had.  Since I am using them not only for acting auditions, but also for my public speaking press kits, for the media, for the back cover of my books and for my fans…it was really important that I chose the right person for the job.  I found it at Barry Morgenstein photo! And not only are you a talented photographer, but your studio is by far the most charming and coolest in all of NYC.  I felt like a rock star through the whole process.  Thanks so much!

 

Monroe Mann

Actor/Author/Teacher

 

 

Dear Barry Morgenstein,

 

First of all, I must say, I have heard wonderful things about you and your work and am very pleased to find a headshot photographer with a great reputation, who doesn’t charge an arm and a leg for his work!  It’s is amazing that you keep it so affordable for all of us struggling actors!

 

Lisanne Shaffer

Actress

 

 

Dear Barry,

 

Hey man.  Just wanted to thank you again for your fine work.  I’m glad we were finally able to shoot after months and months.  I really had a great time.  As I mentioned to Maureen, I really don’t like being in pictures (even my own headshots).  But you made it really fun and loose.

 

Thanks again,

 

Greg Charles

Hey, first of all, Merry Christmas Eve…Just wanted to let you know I got the pictures yesterday and…OMG, they are fabulous!!! How sensational!!!  They are by far the best pictures I have ever taken.  So please, pat yourself on the back and thank you for a very nice Christmas present!  Thanks, Barry!

 

Jen

 

 

Dear Barry, Kristen and Melanie,

 

Thank you so much for everything!  From the relaxed and professional atmosphere, to the outstanding makeup and wardrobe advise, to making sure I had a headshot on such short notice.  All I can say is “thank you” and I will recommend you without reservation.

 

Sincerely,

 

Evan Paquette

Actor

 

 

I have rarely worked with such professional, laid back and easy-going photographers, who on top of having an excellent personality were extremely gifted at their craft.  I count it as a privilege to have worked with such a well-known photographer as Barry.  I was intimidated the first time we spoke, but after meeting him and having such great conversations, I couldn’t wait for the shoot.  Thanks Barry,

 

Ebony

 

 

New headshots with my hair curly vs. straight.  Booking more work – YAY! Three-time winner of the Backstage Reader’s Choice for Best Photographer, Barry Morgenstein is a great photographer who has a great eye, good music, and atmosphere and cares about his person.  Thank you!

 

Nachayka Vanterpool

 

 

Using older, mediocre headshots, I was struggling to book ANYTHING.  Then, I was done by Barry Morgenstein.  I have now since booked about 9 gigs just in the past few weeks.  90% of them will be airing on a national cable network in Dec/Jan.  One badass photographer and one cooooool cat.

 

Orlando Gonzalez

Actor

 

 

Thanks so much Barry, we will definitely be in contact about getting the headshots printed!  Thanks also again for the beautiful headshots of Emma, you really captured her so well!  I also wanted to thank you for your wonderful balance of professionalism and kindness.  As a mom to a child involved in the acting industry finding people who show kindness to your child means the world.  Your kindness put Emma at ease and made the photoshoot time a truly enjoyable experience for her.

 

With Much Appreciation,

 

Kristin Engler

 

 

You are the best photographer dear Barry Morgenstein!  So blessed to know you!

 

Martha Boneta

 

 

A man who creates the greatest magic at the click of a button!  Those who don’t believe in Barry’s magic have never seen it.

When I tell y’all, I’ve never been more amazed with my head shots, Barry Morgenstein definitely deserves his title as the best headshot photographer in NYC.  I can’t thank you enough!
