Amazing!!!! No need to search for any other photographer. Barry is by far one of the best photographers I've ever worked with. I researched many photographers for headshots, Barry's reviews are essential what caught my eye so I decided to give him a try. And from my phone call with Barry to set up a day and time is when I just knew I was going to be really happy. He's professional and friendly. He listens to what "you" want. He gathers all the information he can from you to see what it is your looking for. He will give you a few tips before meeting. On set he's easy going and helps you ease right into the photoshoot. I got my pictures from him right after the shoot. This was the first time for me to go through my pictures and have a really hard time picking out a photo that caught my eye, because I loved 50% of them. Go with Barry, your in great hands. He's been in the industry for years and knows what agents and casting agents want. You will not be disappointed. read more

This is the best photographer I know in Los Angeles. I have first got professional headshots back in 2021. Ever since I haven't worked with another photographer. Anytime I need to get new photos for an interview or anything professional I always would like to book New Faces LA. Very professional, friendly and great service. Excellent natural talent. Best at natural daylight but also good in studio photography. I recommend %101. read more

I first shot with Barry after being referred to him for headshots from a major production company on Hollywood Blvd. This was in 2016. My photos came out amazing (the production company even said so) and he even took some additional photos of my sister, who came with me for support! Since then, I've been a client of his four times. Three headshot shoots and one regular shoot. My latest shoot with him was yesterday (Nov 2020). I received all of my photos within 2-3 hours of completing the shoot which is quicker than most photographers I've worked with! I've been so impressed with every single session that I once even brought Barry 10 other clients at one time (they ranged from 5 years old to 50 years old). All were extremely happy with their professional headshots. During the shoot, Barry makes you feel extremely comfortable and works to get the best out of you. If you're unsure or even lacking direction - he's helpful enough to guide you and instruct you! He is the perfect photographer for those starting out and those who are a bit more experienced. I've LOVED my photos every time and I will continue to shoot with Barry time and time again. recommend Barry/ New Faces LA to all. read more

I am so happy with the photography services that I received from New Faces LA. Barry was professional, on time, and very pleasant/fun to work with. My daughters headshots and lifestyle photos look amazing! I will use New Faces LA again for our photography needs. read more

Barry is a very shady individual who doesn't care to honor Groupon vouchers. We spoke and he told me he would email me with a date for our shoot. Few weeks went by and I did not hear for him. I gave him a follow up email to which he ignored. read more

Barry is an excellent photographer! I love all the pictures he took for me! He is very professional, very kind, friendly and great to work with! He makes you feel very comfortable during the shoot. I highly recommend him! read more

Barry McDaniel is a real PRO! Loved my new shots and Barry was so professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him and New Faces LA. My profile picture is the one Barry took. Thanks New Faces! read more

Truly a nice guy who KNOWS his craft and WELL!!!!! Thanks Barry!!! Very please customer!! read more

And we're back...I returned to Barry/New Faces LA this month to get head shots of my 8 year old daughter and we, again, got star treatment and first-class service. My daughter is extremely active and has some sass too. Barry joked with her and brought out her best sides. He was able to capture her playful essence, as well as her beautiful green eyes. We only go to Barry for photos now. He's the best. You will, without an iota of doubt, leave his studio more-than happy. read more

Barry is the best ! He makes you feel like an old friend, so if you're shy like me it's no obstacle. he's very patient and understanding. He gets you with laughs, so you can relax, really. He's full of advice and has great vision; he's very honest with his thoughts. He's willing to help you every step of the way from clothes, to poses, to hair. He's very professional too, which is important if you're choosing him for your first shoot. Nothing about my experience was awkward or uncomfortable. You will have to tip and you probably will be shot in and around his apartment, but at no point does he make you feel uncomfortable about the situation so don't worry about it. Choose him first ! I guarantee he will give you great results and a great experience. read more

Barry is not just one hell of a talented photographer, but he's actually a warm, welcoming and hilarious guy! From the moment I said "hello" to Barry, I knew we were going to get along. He has this incredible way of making you feel relaxed and did not make me feel rushed even in the slightest bit. He's a professional with a meticulous eye for detail. He is definitely my top choice when it comes to headshots in the future! Thank you, Barry! Can't wait to work with you again :) read more

I didn't have much time before my real estate brokerage notified me that they needed my headshot. I found Barry at New Faces LA on Yelp and he saved the day, by accommodating me at the last minute. Our meeting was quick and he captured the perfect headshot within minutes. In addition, during the editing process, Barry listened to my feedback and was quick to make adjustments exactly as I requested. Thank you, Barry! You're a lifesaver. read more

What a great experience! Barry was, as everyone else is saying, very professional. The photos turned out great, the casting agent loved them. He was ready to book my appointment the same day that I called. Highly recommended! read more

No follow up- lousy photos - chasing my proofs for almost 3 weeks. He's a nice guy but the first shoot didn't really work so we did a second shoot and still waiting for the photos requested - Barry will call ya back quick but needs to be chased for the follow up. My friend used his apple cause could not wait any longer and did just as good a shot to use for my campaign - so I recommend your best friend and their Apple phone or somebody who asks for payment after they deliver the photos and not before they shoot! read more

Barry is an awesome and professional photographer. He took amazing clicks of mine. He made the session enjoying and helped me to relieve stress during photo shots. All the clicks look so good in raw form that it becomes difficult which one to choose for edit. Thank you Barry for doing such a great job. I will be going again for my other shots. And would definitely recommend him! read more

Alright so I'm super late with this review! Lol I had the pleasure of working with Barry for my first professional shoot! Now it did start off a bit shakey seeing as though we played phone tag for a bit, and then he had to travel so my shoot took a while to lock down on a specific date. And than the whole tiping tidbit did initially rub me the wrong way but by the end of the shooting process I actually WANTED to tip him! So when I tell you Barry knows his stuff, he knows his stuff! He made me feel SOOO comfortable and gave some amazing pointers that resulted in some great photos! I will definitely refer others to Barry because in the end he really did deliver and made everything so easy for me! And I also do think that Barry's great pictures gave the edge I needed to book my first big gig! Thanks again!!! read more

Barry is AMAZING! Felt extremely comfortable and his coaching was awesome and professional. 20/10 would recommend.

I'm a repeat customer -- Barry first took headshots of me back in 2012 and I just had them updated. I'm not such an easy subject since I typically look uneasy in front of the camera. But Barry has an easy-going way that helps me relax and not feel as self-conscious, and he is a very skilled and talented photographer. I've been very pleased with the results both times, and always have had many great options to choose from. read more

I had a great experience having Barry shoot my headshots! He was very professional and helped me to be comfortable in front of the camera. My pictures turned out great! Would definitely recommend his services to anyone read more

This was my first experience taking headshots and I cannot be more happy with the results. Barry made sure he understood the purpose for the photos and gave me more than I bargained for. He made me feel comfortable and gave easy directions to get the right angles. I brought with me 4-5 different tops and he made great suggestions for my wardrobe selection. I would recommend his services to anyone. I used one of his shots for my profile picture. read more

Barry was professional, prompt and personable. The shoot was scheduled immediately and at a convenient time. He gathered information, put me at ease and obtained numerous exposures. He honored my Groupon price and delivered photos immediately upon receipt of my payment. He then used his artistry to edit my chosen headshots multiple times until I was completely satisfied. I can say his service exceeded my expectations. My only suggestion is that the studio appearance should be upgraded to reflect Barry's artistry. read more

I had a great experience with Barry. The pictures all came out great and he was fun to work with. He's very talented and I would definitely recommend him for a photo shoot. read more

I went to Barry for some business professional style head shots. The photos I took home exceeded my expectations. Of course, as you have probably read in the other reviews, Barry provides excellent value for the time and money you spend with him. However the main reason why I choose Barry and you should do the same is: He gives you all of the photos in digital form. Believe it or not. many places will retain ownership of the photos they take of you forcing you to go back to them each time you want to use them. Also, he does not apply watermarking to the photos which is another huge plus. read more

What an amazing experience I had today !! I was so pleased with my headshots. I got more than I expected. He was so friendly and professional. So knowledgeable of what works. I can't thank him enough. Ps I got my pictures right after the shoot. Amazing !! read more

What a great find! Barry is a true professional and uses his expertise to get the best shots possible. I would absolutely recommend Barry to everyone. read more

I needed two very different commercial looks and Barry was able to provide input for both wardrobe and background. He was very professional and took the time to make sure I was getting the shots to help me get booked. He gave me a disc with all the photos at the end of the shoot. It was easily one of the best head shot sessions I've had in 17 years. He won't waste your time. He maximizes it. read more
