The photographer / 01

The Bald Dude behind the flash.

I’m Justin von Braun—a Brooklyn-based photographer, videographer, and founder of The Bald Dude Co. I photograph cinematic portraits, fashion, events, products, and intimate wedding stories for people and brands who want their images polished, but still alive.

My approach is built around strong light, thoughtful direction, and knowing when to let a real moment unfold. Red carpet, courthouse, backstage, sidewalk, or campaign: the goal is always an image with presence and a clear point of view.
