Virtual Tour Shooting Course

Sign Up

The smartphone has long since pushed the professional camera out of everyday photography — portraits, reportage, even weddings are shot on phones today. But 360° panorama photography and virtual tours are a different story. This is a field that still requires an understanding of optics, precise exposure and overlap control, specialized equipment, and software for stitching and publishing a tour. It's one area of photography where a professional approach still can't be replaced with a "shoot on my phone" button.

On this course I teach you to shoot panoramas and build full virtual tours from them — from choosing equipment to publishing the finished tour online.
