The Process
I aim to complete standard projects within 10 working days and can complete certain projects as quickly as 24 hours from time of shooting if required. I don’t need any payment up front and only invoice once the project is complete. View the process below, from shooting each 360 photo to final payment.
MAKE THE CALL
First is to identify the exact requirements of your project, then provide you with a quote based on what you need.
SHOOTING
Arrange a suitable time to arrive at your location and shoot the images needed. This usually takes an hour, but is dependant on the size of the location and amount of photos required.
EDITING
This is the lengthy part. Using special 360º software I edit the photos, aligning or straightening horizons and colour grading pictures to bring them to the best possible true to life likeness.
TOUR DESIGN
I will design the tour and build a test version for you to review. I will also add in any information text, image pop-ups or video links you may like added.
FINAL SIGN OFF AND PAYMENT
Once you’re happy with the tour, I send you the simple code for uploading to your site and invoice for the work completed. Once payment is processed you’ll receive the photos to use as you wish.

FAQ's
What happens during a 360 photo shoot? How long does it take? When will you see the photos?
All your questions answered here
How long does a 360 photo shoot take?
A 360º photo shoot shouldn’t take longer than an hour.** I will use specialised equipment to take 360 degree photos of your business. Which I will then edit to create a 360 tour.
How much will a 360 photo shoot cost?
You can expect to pay from £75 depending on the size of your property.* This is a one-off fee and includes a photo shoot and editing. You’ll also keep the pictures to use on social media or on your website.
Will the shoot disrupt my business?
For most it’s a pretty quick shoot. A small shop can take less than an hour. It takes longer in processing and uploading. I can shoot at daft o’clock in the morning if needs be and be gone before you get busy. Ideally the shoot is best taking place during daylight hours for maximum photo quality.
How many photos will I need?
It depends on the size of your business. For a small shop i would suggest at the very least one shot on the pavement outside, one in the entrance and one centrally located in the store. For best results is to captured every 6-10ft to create a full walkthrough of the areas you require. We do not need to capture stairways, lifts or other non essential areas of your location, unless the area is vital for connecting one photo to another.
When is the best time to take the photos?
We can be flexible to your schedule to ensure the shoot takes place when it is best for you – day or night.
Can I embed the photos on my website/social media?
Yes, you can insert the tour/images anywhere you like on your website. Facebook and YouTube now accept 360 images and videos, both of which are proving to be insanely popular. Use your new 360 media on your Facebook Page or YouTube account to impress your potential customers.
Are there any running costs?
No, Just a single one off payment. Having a virtual tour of your business incurs no monthly costs from either me or Google. Once you’ve paid for your 360 photo session there are no other running costs. You will own the photos and can use them as you please.
Will it be uploaded on Google?
Yes, if you choose to add on the Google Tour you can just sit back and wait as I take care of getting the virtual tour of your business on Google. As a Google Trusted Photographer I work with Google to directly upload a virtual tour and have it appear on Google Search automatically. This could be anything from a few days, to a number of weeks. This is because, occasionally our photos pass through a Google quality control check to keep our standards consistently high.
When will I see the complete Tour?
I can have a full virtual tour of your business completed within a week of you contacting me. I am a professional 360 photographer accredited by Google and keen to help local businesses however I can.
How do I receive my product?
Once the service has been completed, I host your 360° virtual tour for you and send you an iframe code linked to my website. Don’t worry! Your visitors will never know as it will be branded with your logo (Custom tours only). A CD/DVD of your photos can also be provided.
Is it possible to change the info in the pop ups in future?
Yes, as I can host the tour for you, you can request to update or add hotspot information at any time. If it’s only a small change this will be free. (Custom tours only)
How long is the imagery online for?
Your Google virtual tour is hosted by Google on the same servers that host Maps, there’s no cost for it to be hosted and it shall remain online until you require an update or for whatever reason, request it’s removal.
Our business is not currently listed with Google
Don’t worry, we’ll save you the trouble of creating and verifying your Local Listing in Google Places and do this on your behalf, it’s all part of the service.
We've Just had a refurbishment
No worries, for custom tours this is easier as I host your tour I can replace the old photos with new photos and it will automatically update the tour across all platforms its placed. For google tours we have to delete the old and start from scratch.***
Do you offer any discounts for non-profits?
Yes, I offer a discount for non-profit organizations. Feel free to contact me if you want to get a non-profit discount for your organization.
Do you discount for multiple locations?
Do you have more than one location you would like to create a virtual tour for? Are you an estate agent who wants a large number of houses shot in 360 degrees? Contact me and we can negotiate a bulk discount.
I have windows will I be able to see outside?
Yes, I will use a technique called bracketing where I will take 3 or more shots each at a different exposure level and then combine them in post to create one shot.
A virtual tour is a complete 360-degree view of a space. The user can feel as if they’re standing within a space, and they can control their movement within the area. They can look up above them, at the floor below them, and all around. Users are also able to zoom in and out, giving them the ability to focus in on areas of interest. Each virtual tour is made with photographs which are ‘stitched’ together.
* Travel Fees may apply depending on site location.
** Exceptionally large tours may require more time.
*** Small re-shoot fee will apply.
