All Things Gummy
So what does a food photographer do in his spare time after shooting all day for national brands and regional clients? This one decided to explore the sticky and colorful world of Gummies.
Gummy Bears were invented in 1920's Germany. Gummy refers to the gum arabic they were first made from, the Bear shape was inspired by trained dancing bears that were popular at European street festivals.
In the 1940's, the first company to produce and sell gummy fruit slices in America, was the Boston Fruit Slice Company in Boston Massachusetts.
Gummy bears can be used to deliver vitamins and minerals to children who are hesitant to take pills. Herbal gummies may be used to deliver plant based extracts like, CBD and THC.
The North American gummy market accounts for 38% of global gummy revenues. Projected market size for 2030 is 52 Billion.
I shot gummy teeth, gummy dinosaurs, gummy fried eggs, gummy bacon, gummy pizza & gummy skulls and put them into this book.
I shot ( and ate ) a lot more gummies than some people see in a lifetime!
