In 2013 Bruns’s body of work entitled New Dorp City was published in Versal: The Amsterdam Literary and Arts Journal. His interests lie in how staged photography has been used to create discourse. His MFA body of work was a photographic interrogation of repressed privilege within a South African context, and his thesis was entitled Deconstructing the Constructed Image: From the Pictorial to Post-Apartheid Photography.
