oh, that...
i was going to say no, but decided to do a little googling.
it seems there isn't a way, but there is a trick if all you're looking for is to get rid of the brightness. you can invert your screen colors with command+option+ctrl+8. from a thread on another forum i saw, the "flash" should then flash black instead of white. then revert the screen with the same command.
i'm not at my mac, so i can't test it myself to check the validity of the trick.

When Photo Booth takes a picture the screen acts as a flash and suddenly becomes extremley bright so that the iSight camera has a good chance to properly capture your image.
I can't really see how you would even access this feature to disable it as Photo Booth doesn't have any preferences.

aha, clever! Heh, I just put some paper over my screen to filter the flash down a little. Since the white balance is auto, I'd rather not have a blue face because of that 'flash'.
