About Visual 360 Media

How it all began

trusted_badge_smalThe award winning Essex photographer John Goulding was approached by Google in 2013 when Google first started to think about bringing Google Street View into businesses. Up until then Google had been shooting Google Street View and John had been shooting bespoke 360 Degree Virtual Tour Photography since 1998. When Google decided to add 360 Degree Photography for Businesses to the services it provides, and approached John to join them, he decided it was an obvious step and career progression. The project since its inception has gone through numerous changes and John has been at the fore front of them all, along the way providing feedback to Google about the software and project in general. It is now a robust and exciting tool for all businesses, the software is stable and the quality of the Virtual Tours can match that of bespoke work.

Visual 360 Media Ltd. is a fully insured photography business with Public Liability insurance of 1 million pounds.

    Kent Blaxhill, Colchester, Essex
  • The panoramic tour of the Lawn was breathtaking. I was impressed with the clarity and depth of focus and being able to roam freely in 3 dimensions. Its movement and simplicity was such, I was even able to walk up the stairs and see the books in my old bedroom. Now our brides room.

    David Keddie, The Lawn Wedding Venue, Rochford, Essex
  • Hi John. We can’t thank you enough it has come out better than any of us could have ever envisaged. I’m going to email it to Mick Norcross now so he can see it. I’m sure he is going to love it. I’ll start asking everyone to tweet the tour and your details asap, many thanks!
