The 360 photographer

From web SEO to the 3D camera.

Marc Durand Bréard comes from digital marketing and search engine optimization. For years, he helped businesses in the Montreal area get found on Google. The virtual tour came as a logical next step: a way to show the inside of a place right in Google Search and on Google Maps, where customers look before they go.

A Google Street View photographer since 2015, he has published over 1,000 tours and more than 50,000 panoramas on Google Maps: shops, daycares, clinics, car dealerships, hotels. With the arrival of Matterport, the job changed scale: the camera no longer just takes photos, it measures. Panosphere 360 is now a Matterport Service Partner and scans city halls, plants, campuses, highway rest areas and performance halls with the Pro3 camera.

What hasn’t changed: one person, who answers the phone, captures the building, brands the tour and trains your team. In French and English, in the evening and on Saturday mornings when your premises are empty, and across Quebec on regional trips.

The full story: virtual tour photographer since 2015.

Matterport Service Partner

How we work

Four things we promise you.

  1. 01

    Public pricing

    The price list is on the site, from $395 for a small 3D tour to $1,295 for a 10,500 sq. ft. building. You know what it costs before you call; the written quote confirms the exact amount.

  2. 02

    Online within 24 to 48 hours

    The tour is published 24 to 48 hours after capture in most cases; large buildings and big projects can take several days. Branding, information tags and technical files follow as agreed.

  3. 03

    You stay in control

    On request, your team gets access to the tour editor and a one-hour training session: it adds its own tags, photos and links without waiting for us.

  4. 04

    One person

    From the 30-minute call to training your team, you always talk to the same person, who captured your building himself.

The gear

What’s on the tripod.

The right tool for the job: 3D to document and measure, 360 to be found, the drone to place the building on its site.
