360 Degree Photographer

For 360-degree photographers, capturing stunning imagery is just the beginning. The real challenge often lies in delivering these immersive photos in a way that clients can easily access, understand and use. Many clients know they want 360-degree photos but rely on the photographer to figure out how they’ll actually view and share them. This puts photographers in a tricky position: finding a solution that balances usability, privacy and technical simplicity.

Before using Swyvl, one professional 360-degree photographer struggled to find the right approach. Some clients wanted their photos hosted privately—not published on platforms like Google Street View for the world to see. Others needed a solution that didn’t involve custom-built tools requiring significant technical expertise to create, host or manage. Standard options, like sending jpeg photos via email or cloud folders, lacked usability and left clients confused about how to explore the images in a meaningful way.

Enter Swyvl: a solution that simplifies the process of organizing, showcasing and delivering 360-degree projects. By adopting Swyvl, the photographer was able to resolve these challenges while providing a professional, user-friendly experience for their clients.

How They Use Swyvl

1. A Simple Yet Sophisticated Solution
With Swyvl, the photographer organizes 360-degree photos into interactive projects that clients can explore intuitively. Photos are geolocated on a map or site plan, giving instant context to the visuals and allowing clients to navigate the space seamlessly. This eliminates the confusion of browsing through static folders of files.

2. Ensuring Privacy
Unlike public platforms like Google Street View, Swyvl projects remain private. Clients can share their projects with internal teams or external stakeholders through secure links, maintaining full control over who has access.

3. No Technical Expertise Needed
The photographer can create, host, and deliver 360-degree projects on Swyvl without requiring custom-built tools or technical know-how. The platform’s user-friendly interface streamlines the entire workflow, saving time and effort.

The Problem Swyvl Solves

• Usability: Clients want an easy, intuitive way to view their 360 photos—but many tools are clunky or overly complicated for end users.
• Privacy: Hosting on public platforms isn’t an option for every client, especially when the images contain sensitive or proprietary information.
• Technical Complexity: Custom-built solutions are expensive and time-consuming, often requiring photographers to outsource hosting and delivery entirely.

Key Benefits

• Improved Client Experience: Swyvl allows clients to view their 360-degree photos in an organized, intuitive way, enhancing the value of the photographer’s work.
• Streamlined Workflow: By eliminating the need for custom builds or third-party hosting, the photographer saves time and reduces technical headaches.
• Privacy and Control: Clients retain full control over their projects, with secure links that limit access to approved users.

Feedback from the Photographer
