Rock Candy for Independence Day

We’re a little late at posting this, but at least it’s still July! I was tasked along with my food stylist, Lindsey, to create some patriotic themed imagery for a client. We ended up having some left over rock candy. I thought it would be fun to photograph it. I couldn’t help but feel it looked a bit like fireworks with the light behind it. Rock candy just might win the most patriotic sweet award (I promise it’s a thing) with these headshots. Which variation do you like best?
