I was approached by Red Tower Regalia to photograph some Masonic aprons they had recently gotten in for their inventory. They are a home-grown company from right here in Arlington, VA, but have the capability of taking care of needs for the Fraternity all over the world. That’s the type of company that is pretty cool to work with.
I mentioned before that I had shot some of the candy photos used in signage all over this year’s Sweets and Snacks Expo. Here are some others I was commissioned to do last-minute before the show for a presentation. I love this kind of work!
I was recently commissioned to do some work for the Sweets & Snacks Expo and got to see it actually being used. Imagine going into an exhibit hall like Chicago’s McCormick Place and seeing placards of your work laid out:
And getting hung:
Not only that, but these photos were prominently displayed on almost all the literature, all over the show and were generally part of the unifying element that tied the theme of the show together. That is satisfying.
Do you need photos for your project? Let me know.
Remember recently I posted some delicious photos of Valentine’s candy and referenced Dawn Casey of Casey Multimedia? Well, Dawn finished the video interview with me. Here it is:
Still gearing up for Valentine’s Day. I shot this while being interviewed by Dawn Casey of Casey Multimedia for a video project she is working on. Go check out her site and tell her Carl sent you.
Valentine’s Day isn’t that far in the future, so I thought I would do a few shots in that theme. More to come.
I was handed a couple boxes of various jelly candies last week and told to shoot them in a number of different ways for a promotional piece. I had jelly snails, tarantulas, alligators, hearts and even something I could not quite identify that was shaped a little like a chocolate kiss. Or maybe a nipple. I’m not entirely sure what it was.
There were also jelly shoes. The shoes were the most fun of all because they are representations of an actual interactive item we use every day. Arranging them in different ways can make us think of walking, standing, creeping or other things we might actually do. I think these are visually interactive in a way that a gummy alligator is not. Lots of fun to shoot.
I was recently given the assignment of photographing these lollipops from the Melville Candy Company. They really are that beautiful and they taste great too. Of course, one of them arrived broken so I had to eat it to put it out of its misery. Go check out the company and see some of the great stuff they make!
Do you need your products photographed? Let me know. I’d be glad to help you out.
And finally, a single calla lily for you. And in case you were wondering, that thing in the flower that looks like a banana candy really is a banana candy. Great creative use of other candies, in my opinion!
