Year in Review with OMS Owner and Commercial Photographer, TJ Vissing
2024 was a milestone year for OMS, marked by growth through strengthened client partnerships and exciting new collaborations. TJ Vissing, an OMS owner and photographer, played a pivotal role in nurturing relationships with our agency partners—some spanning over 15 years. Reflecting on the year’s achievements, TJ highlighted a few standout projects among many incredible shoots and creative endeavors.
Award-Winning Work with Beardwood and Pure Protein
In partnership with Beardwood, OMS contributed to the award-winning redesign of Pure Protein, which earned a Designalytics Effectiveness Award. The creative vision, led by Beardwood’s Derek Horn, was brought to life through OMS’s photography and retouching expertise. This project was a rewarding challenge for our post-production team and a collaboration we’re proud to have been part of.

Exciting Collaborations with Saatchi and Wendy’s
Longtime partners at Saatchi enlisted OMS for several photography and videography shoots, including the launch of Wendy’s spicy nuggets. The collaborative energy between Saatchi and OMS made these shoots seamless and creatively fulfilling. With the addition of food stylist Jeff Martin, the results were nothing short of magic. We’re eager to see what 2025 holds for this partnership.

Dynamic Packaging Photography with Sterling Brands and Hershey’s
OMS continued its longstanding collaboration with Sterling Brands, capturing dynamic packaging photography for Hershey’s. This year’s focus was on KitKat and its unique product shapes, producing some of our favorite images. A few are coming out in 2025, so we can’t share just quite yet, but this holiday Santa was an OMS favorite

Creative Campaigns with OHLQ and Hart
For the sixth consecutive year, OMS partnered with Hart, Sarah Spring and Roger Pinnick of SSD Collective, and OHLQ to create stunning visuals for their website and social channels. These shoots are always vibrant and creative, and we look forward to collaborating with the OHLQ team every year.
The Vissing Venture to Bolivia
On a personal note, TJ along side his family and friends traveled to Bolivia. Specifically to La Paz, Bolivia – which is the birthplace of his lovely wife Ana. The journey took them to the Salar de Uyuni with altitudes of up to 18,000 feet. TJ is known for capturing incredible and inspiring landscapes and epic travel photography shots and this trip was no exception.
Here are a few:
TJ and Ana also made their way to the White Sands National Park, a bucket list trip that led them to a dreamscape environment.
And finally, the travel bugs made their way to Colorado this fall – where TJ said he was in a continual state of awe. Around every corner and turn in the road was something new and amazing to marvel at.
As 2024 draws to a close, TJ and the entire OMS team are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to another year of meaningful partnerships and creative achievements.
