Justin von Braun,
NYC photographer.

I’m Justin von Braun, the photographer behind The Bald Dude Co. I photograph fashion, events, portraits, courthouse weddings, and commercial work, plus short-form motion when the project calls for it.

I work with people and brands who want strong images without being over-directed. I’ll help you feel comfortable, find the light, and stay ready for the moments that happen on their own.

That’s the goal: photographs that feel honest, look good, and still feel like you.

I photograph the ceremony, the portraits afterward, and everything that happens in between. I keep things moving, give you direction when you want it, and leave room for the candid stuff.
