A photographer specialising in virtual building tours is extending his horizons by taking on work abroad.
Stone-based James Hilton uses state-of-the-art technology to create digital tours which can be used as promotional tools.
He has been called in by Get A Drip, specialists in vitamin drips and booster shots as a way to support health and wellbeing.
After creating virtual 3D captures of their facilities in London and Dublin, he has been asked to do the same for their outlet in Amsterdam.
Since he set up 360 Picture UK five years ago, former golf club steward James has built up an impressive database across the commercial, hospitality, education and property sectors using Matterport technology with the latest Pro 3 cameras.
Regular clients include Keele University, Staffordshire University, the Parogon pub group and a number of estate agents.
Recently he created full virtual tours for Douglas Macmillan Hospice in Stoke-on-Trent – view it here.
He is also being asked by the higher education sector to create tours of buildings so that people with anxiety issues can familiarise themselves before visiting.
James’ assignments take him inside some of the most impressive locations in the UK.
He has even created a 360-degree capture of the Llechwedd Slate Caverns in Wales.
“I haven’t looked back once since setting up,” said James. “The business is building all the time and it’s a real privilege to be welcomed into the venues.
“They can vary from houses costing more than a million pounds to one-bedroom apartments to a massive council properties.”
