The photographer , from New York , said he walked for miles as he photographed the manufacturing process . He said : 'The factory was massive . I probably walked a couple of miles during the course of our shoot just moving from one end of the factory to the other . 'That does n't even include the storage and shipping departments that we saw but did n't really cover . His pictures show a silo , which contains 100,000lbs of uncoloured paraffin wax and is heated and moved to mixing kettles . Powdered pigment is then added to create a colour . The coloured liquid is then pumped into a water-cooled mould , before it is ejected through crayon-shaped cavities and sent for labelling .

Mr Derballa added : ' I loved the mixing kettles where the pigment is mixed with the melted wax - they were these beautiful vats of molten colour . 'One of the best parts of this shoot was how earnest and innocent it all was . 'And the smell of paraffin brought me back to my childhood .
