Certifications and memberships
Only a Google Street View Trusted photographer (opens in a new tab) can publish a certified connected tour to your Google Business Profile. We have held that certification for Buffalo and Western New York for years, and we are members of both the IVRPA and the IAPP (both open in a new tab).
What you actually get
A tour built to be used, not just admired
Every shoot produces three things: a set of very large panoramic images, a connected tour that works on any screen, and the file ownership to do whatever you want with both.
Extremely high resolution
We shoot in 4K with HDR bracketing (opens in a new tab) and stitch locally in Buffalo, producing photo spheres (opens in a new tab) over 100 megapixels. Detail holds up when a visitor zooms all the way in on your menu board, your signage or your finishes.
Published where people look
Your tour goes live on Google Maps and Google Search through your Business Profile, and we hand your webmaster the embed code for your own site. Same tour, everywhere someone is already looking for you.
Yours to keep
You receive full copyright to every image we create. Use them on your website, your blog, social media, printed material or a listing sheet. There is no license to renew and no monthly fee to keep the tour online.
Shot from above the roofline, so the lot and the street are in the same sphere.
Interior and exterior
Walk-throughs for agents, owners and managers
A photograph shows someone a corner of a room. A tour lets them stand in the middle of it and look around: ceiling height, sight lines, how the light falls, what is out the window. That is the part still photos cannot do, and it is the reason a serious buyer or a booking client stays on your page instead of scrolling to the next listing.
We cover the inside and the outside. Aerial spheres put the whole property, the lot and the street in one image. Ground-level spheres connect room to room so a visitor can move through the space in the order they would actually walk it.
- Connected multi-point tours, not a single stranded panorama
- Aerial and ground-level spheres from the same visit
- Works on phones, tablets, desktops and VR headsets
- Faces of any customers or staff on site are blurred
Selected work
Tours we have photographed around Buffalo
Restaurants, ballrooms, offices, listings and parks are all shot, stitched and hosted by us. Open any one of them and look around.
How it works
Four steps, and most of them are ours
Step one
We talk through the space
A short call about what you want people to see, how many points the tour needs, and when the room looks its best.
Step two
We shoot on site
Most businesses take one to two hours. We can come in early or stay late so the space is empty if you prefer it that way.
Step three
We stitch and retouch
Back at the studio the brackets are merged, the spheres are stitched, faces are blurred and the points are connected into one tour.
Step four
We publish it
The tour goes live on Google, you get the embed code for your site, and the full-resolution files are handed over to you.

Common questions
Before you call
Are there monthly charges to keep the tour online?
No. A Google tour lives with your Business Profile indefinitely, and the images we hand you are yours. There is no hosting fee, no license renewal and no subscription.
How long does a shoot take?
For most businesses, one to two hours on site. Larger properties and multi-floor buildings take longer. Post-production runs a few days, and then the tour goes live.
Can I just do this myself with a 360 camera?
You can publish your own photo spheres, but only a Google Street View Trusted photographer can produce and publish a certified connected tour. Beyond the certification, the difference shows up in stitching, exposure blending and how the points are linked so a visitor never gets lost.
Will my customers or staff show up in the images?
Faces are blurred to protect privacy. Many owners prefer an empty room anyway, so we are happy to shoot before opening or after close.
