TJ has photographed Hershey's chocolate and candy lines for more than 15 years: launches like Hershey's Gold and Cookie Layer Crunch, Kit Kat flavor heroes, syrup pours, s'mores, and seasonal holiday shapes.
Chocolate is reflective, temperature-sensitive, and has to read at thumbnail and billboard scale. Every set is built with food stylists and finished by the in-house retouching team to Hershey's packaging and retail specs.
For Gillette, TJ builds studio product heroes where every reflection on chrome and every edge detail is controlled, so the product reads cleanly on pack, on shelf, and on screen.
The work is part of OMS's 30-year partnership with Procter & Gamble, spanning brands like Tide, Olay, and Febreze, with retouching and color done in-house to P&G's global brand standards.
TJ shoots Wendy's menu boards, national campaigns, and limited-time launches, from Dave's Double and Frosty flavors to Saucy Nuggs and partnership meals like Minions and Takis Fuego.
