With more than 30 years of experience in commercial photography, TJ brings a deep understanding of food, baked goods, and CPG imagery to every production. He has spent decades photographing products for packaging, advertising, retail, and brand campaigns, with particular expertise in creating the polished, craveable imagery baked goods demand. Having worked extensively with major food and CPG brands, TJ is equally comfortable creating tightly controlled packaging imagery and more expressive brand and lifestyle work. His experience allows him to anticipate the challenges of food production, collaborate seamlessly with food stylists and creative teams, and keep complex shoots moving efficiently. As a partner at OMS, TJ combines decades of technical expertise with a collaborative, solutions-oriented approach—making him a trusted creative partner for brands like Hostess where appetite appeal, consistency, and iconic product recognition are everything.

One team, capture to final file.

OMS's in-house retouching team works alongside our photographers on every frame. Retouching happens under the same roof as the shoot, with no outside vendors and no hand-off delays.

What we deliver per the brief
  • Layered mechanical files
  • Print-ready artwork
  • Editable source files
  • Fully retouched photography
  • Individual asset exports for POS, digital, and retail media adaptation

We've made confectionery packaging shelf-ready for 15+ years.

OMS has photographed The Hershey Company's product lines for over a decade and a half — chocolate bars, seasonal shapes, and packaging heroes built to hold up on shelf, in eCommerce thumbnails, and in advertising alike. It's the same appetite-driven, on-pack precision Hostess needs for package photography.

The work demands the same technical discipline Hostess packaging calls for: controlling reflective wrappers and glossy coatings, styling for texture and freshness at every output size, and retouching to CPG brand-compliance standards — all handled in-house from shot list to final file, with zero outside vendor hand-offs.
