Portrait of British Photographer Martin Parr
Posted: 7 Nov 2007 at 22:43 GMT
I recently interviewed Martin Parr at his home for an article I am writing. Whilst I was there I also took the opportunity of doing an environmental (360 VR) portrait of him.

In addition to taking pictures Martin is an avid collector of objects and ephemera, check out the cabinet on the right.

The soundtrack is not authentic!

Hiya, did you use Realviz to make the rotation? Something weird going on there (at least on my machine)
Cool pan though
Have fun

A very nice portrait for which a look around the room and its curios help us know the man better. One can even tell he shops at Waitrose. What else can we learn about the man from this portrait?

PS For those unamiliar with the Uk, Waitrose is a bit of a posh supermarket.
