PERSONAL WORK

Braden created All Love Is Equal in an effort to showcase love. Feeling that the LGBTQ+ community has been misrepresented by mainstream media, with a tendency to portray LGBTQ+ couples in overly sexualized images, Braden traveled the world capturing what he calls “illustrations of what open expressions of love in difference cultures could look like in a future, more accepting time”

PROFESSIONAL LIFE

Braden’s work is rooted in his love of art history, conjuring up the lighting techniques and composition of the great painters of our past. His portrait work is meant to evoke beauty and expand the audience's definition of what beauty is. Among his oeuvre includes a series of photographs called ALL LOVE IS EQUAL, a passion project that Braden was called to create from his desire to see beauty represented in same sex love. He has been fortunate enough for work to take him around the world, creating portraits for himself and major brands.
