Black-and-white portrait of photographer Justin Von Braun smiling.

Hey There,

I'M justin von braun

I’m a Brooklyn-based photographer, videographer, and founder of The Bald Dude Co. I create cinematic portraits, fashion and event coverage, product imagery, and intimate wedding stories for people and brands who want their images to feel polished—but still alive.


My approach is built around strong light, thoughtful direction, and knowing when to let a real moment unfold. Whether I’m photographing a red carpet, a courthouse wedding, or a product campaign, my goal is the same: create images with presence, personality, and a clear point of view.
