Panoramas for Conservatives Website

Recent Project for the website of the Hornsey and Wood Green Conservatives:
360 degree Panoramas of Hornsey, Wood Green and Crouch End plus rectilinear panorama from Alexander Palace for website header.
You can view this work on :http://new.richardmerrin.com/about-hornsey-wood-green/
I only had one particular day to do this, and it was a cloudy/sunny day, not perfect for panoramas. But with the help of photoshop we achieved great results. lots of time retouching panoramas.
I have also been aproached by police officers on almost all the shots, since i was using a professional tripod on the highstreets, but after explanation of the job, they let me carry on.

Fantastic, high quality food, contemporary and classic Italian, served in large portions. I was full up everytime i have worked there. Nice and quite area to sit outside the restaurant on the weekend.

PLANET HOLLYWOOD - E MENU - Food Photography

I have just finished a 2 day E MENU foodphotography for the new PLANET HOLLYWOOD restaurant in Haymarket, London, to be launched this week.
All images are produced for the E Menu, the table automated ordering service.
I had to be quick and precise, shooting one image almost every 8 minutes. We achieved 92 high quality images for the whole menu. I also spend 2 days retouching, cleaning up the plates and food, adjusting contrast issues, cutouts etc...

Images coming soon on
