His earliest memory of photography was the smell of burnt magnesium filaments wafting from the flashcubes of Kodak Instamatic cameras. Since then, Mervin always incorporates a sense of touch and scent as part of the visual cache of an image. Shooting under the auspices of Aperture Ink, Mervin has photographed for Macdonalds, 7-11, Sensodyne, Goodyear, Miele, Nokia, Motorola, Seven for all Mankind, the Dairy Farm Group and Infinity Automobiles.
