360° Virtual Tour Photography Is The Next Big Thing - Don't Miss Out

360° Virtual Tour Photography Is The Next Big Thing - and it's here already.

"Do I need 360° Virtual Tour Photography?" Do you remember when business' were asking "Do I need a website?" or even way way back, "Do I need a fax machine?" In the mid 2000s when everyone was going online; a phone and a fax were no longer enough. I built myself a website in 2006 to sell Vintage Audio equipment, and it became #1 in Australia and #3 worldwide - remaining there for years. I thought it would be months before my first sale, it only took a week! I said goodbye to paying Ebay fees to sell my gear, and I sold my equipment at better prices. I also had a day job where I was managing a second hand building yard specialising in architectural heritage items. It took a while but eventually I convinced the owner into letting me build a small website for the shop, six pages with details of our core product lines along with some good photos. Business immediately picked up. A couple of years down the track and I built a complex database driven e-commerce site for the same business which really took off. The shop even started shipping overseas, much to the owners amazement.

So, do you need a website? I don't think anyone in business seriously asks this any more. The real question is, what sort of website should I have, what will it look like and what will it do for my customers and me? One of the things that made my websites successful was the quality of the photography I created for them. Not only do we eat with our eyes, we shop online with them too. Quality photography made a big difference then and it is still a key component to success on the web. Technology never stops changing, and that goes for the way we use photography too.

So the question now is what kind of photography do you need on your website and for your marketing activities. Do you need 360° virtual tour photography for your website? The answer is yes. Interactive 360° photography is simply the next generation of photography that shows the world what you have got, completely! The pictures need to be of high quality, clean, clear, visually concise and compelling. You should be using them on your website, and your Facebook page. Once you have them you can use them with your Google maps business listing to help lift your visibility and search ranking. They even work well as sliders on Instagram or as those quirky tiny planet images, which are made from the same 360 images. 

The Real estate industry loves virtual tours, because 360° photography generates sales. This is why the Real Estate trade is one of the driving force's behind 360° Virtual Tour photography. The web has changed the way customers engage with businesses and I'm sure we all know people who will not visit a store, until they have looked at the website to decide if it's worth visiting. Good photography of the product we sold and what it looked like on an easy to navigate website; helped the business I was managing, bringing many new clients to the store. If you do not have good photography, or if your competitors website is out-performing yours, Hi-Fidelity 360° virtual tour photography might just be the competitive solution you need. Bringing you a new look with my Google, Street View Trusted 360° photographs of your business.

Photographing Sydney's Iconic Ocean Pools in Hi-Fidelity 360VR

While showing my Sydney travel photographs to the marketing manager of a boutique hotel in Italy; the show stopping picture in my portfolio was a 360 image of the Andrew (Boy) Charleton pool. Nestled on the edge of the Domain Parkland in the heart of Sydney, a liminal space between land, water and desire.. Well what was actually said to me was along the lines of  '(gasp) is that a swimming pool on Sydney harbour, OMG it is so beautiful, I really want to visit Sydney.' And there I was in Venice thinking 'this is the most beautiful and exotic place in the world!'

Back home in Sydney wondering what I might photograph - as a portfolio showcase in 360VR Panoramas - that would compliment the travel imagery that I had created in Italy... Sydney Opera House, Ferries at Circular Quay and the Harbour Bridge; I've heard it said, that is all there is to see, to photograph in Sydney! Well I personally don't think that is true; but then.. you don't have an architectural Renaissance masterpiece on every block - as you do in parts of Italy. Aside from those previously mentioned local Icons; I had that useful clue from Venice as to what I could travel-photograph at home in Sydney.

When I started to think hard about what is most special, most unique, most distinctive, even the most architecturally exclusive aspect of visiting Sydney. Memories of the reaction to my image of the pool on the edge of the harbour came back to me. So I decided I should bring my photographic vision to bear on Sydney's ocean pools and the harbour pools too. Beaches with nets, swimming pontoons, or a boardwalk over the water qualify as pools (or baths), and are usually referred to as such. So the project has begun and I think it is really quite different to other ocean pool projects I have seen. So far I have avoided the dawn and sunset approach (maybe later..) and focused on sparsely populated pools, blue sky, blue and aqua green water, ochre rocks, white sand - or concrete and timbers.. as a unifying approach to the imagery. You can view all of the 360VR panorama Ocean Pool Portfolio on the device of your choice (large screens recommended) HERE.

Thus far I have photographed 16 ocean pools producing over 50 full 360VR panoramas of which 22 are currently included in the portfolio. All of the images are available for licensing, just drop me a line here kent@artcommunication.com.au or should you require high quality custom 360 images to promote your destination, tourist attraction, hotel or resort, please feel free to contact me for a consultation. In the meantime, please enjoy the Ocean Pool 360 project and my Hotels and Views of Venice here!
