Jass and Meen: The Candid Confectioner

I just spent the week shooting caramels for a new local company called The Candid Confectioner. Stephanie Chan, the talented maker of these small-batch artisan caramels, has recently started selling these and I thought they were such fun little treats that I just had to offer up my photography services to her.

After days of prepping, shooting and post production work, I have to confess that I never thought I would ever have such uncontrollable caramel cravings. These things smell amazing! Food photography is not for people who are too concerned about their diet...

I must admit that I absolutely love working with small businesses, especially those just starting up. Supporting local makers and shopkeepers is such an important part of my daily life that it just makes sense for me to pursue that in my professional life as well. I am pleased that Stephanie chose me to photograph her product and encourage you to try them too; her chai caramels are amazing and I hear that a new flavour might be available soon, but I won't spoil the surprise for you.

I wish The Candid Confectioner the best of luck, though if you have tried her candy, you know she doesn't need it...
