In the first episode of Let’s Talk to Local Businesses, Reg Lee sits down with Clare from 360 Reveal to explore the world of 360 photography and how it’s changing the way we experience images.

Clare explains how 360 photography creates immersive, interactive experiences — especially in areas like property tours — giving viewers the freedom to explore spaces in their own way. She also shares how she discovered photography by happy accident, the creative possibilities of group photos using 360 technology, and why digital sharing is now at the heart of modern photography.

The conversation goes behind the scenes of how 360 images are captured, looks at Clare’s future plans to work with weddings, corporate events and other sectors, and finishes with her thoughts on marketing, business growth, and how people can get in touch with 360 Reveal.

A great insight into innovation, creativity, and running a modern local business in Cheltenham.
