360 Degree Photography
Siem Reap, Cambodia
What is 360 degree photography?
It’s the art of capturing an entire scene in a single image.
Professionally speaking, this type of photography is used to create online supports and immersive identities for all kinds of establishments focusing on their online communications.
Its uses are typically for creating virtual projects, for Google Business accounts, online travel agencies and social network platforms.
In my opinion, 360 degree photography is the most honest way to showcase a small or a large space.

Image Resolution
What does Image Resolution means?
Simply put, it is the depth of an image that can be zoomed in without losing its detail.
That said: the more an image stays sharp when zooming in, the more it has an high resolution.
About my 360º photography services, I offer a range of images with megapixel and gigapixel resolution.
Megapixel Images
This is the standard resolution of my services.
Here my images have a resolution of 288 megapixels, providing an excellent quality of zoom.

You are now sure to know that the ‘beauty’ of an image (its colors, contrast, etc.) has nothing to do with its resolution.

Virtual Projects
A virtual project may be called a virtual tour and it typically focuses on the virtual visit of a property. This type of project is commonly used to showcase real estate properties and high-end hotels.
A virtual project can also take the form of a virtual exhibition, and this category is usually used as a medium for physical exhibitions and by museums.
360 Degree Photos
Before being able to rotate a 360 photo in 360º, such images are first of all ‘flats images’.
Know that native computers and devices aren’t built to display/rotate in 360º such images.
Tiny Planets
From time to time we can see “tiny planets” (also called mini planets) pictures on the Internet, know that those are created from 360 degree photos.
Technically speaking, this is done by using a stereographic projection on a 360 degree photo, allowing professional photographers to easily turn it in such an original way!
Few Clarifications
• A 3D photo IS NOT 360 degree photo. Moreover, "3D photo" is a wrong wording - because "3D" involves "objects" only.
• A 360 panorama is also not considered as a 360 degree photo. This category of image means that their zenith and nadir (their highest and lowest - parts) are missing!
A 360 degree photo can also be called a VR photo, photo sphere, and spherical photo.
There is no difference between them.
What is a 360 degree photo?
It's the aspect of viewing an image interactively from its central position.
