About Us

Great Impressions provides high quality images and virtual tours for tourist and property related businesses. We use an elevated pole system to take photographs at up to 15m to allow you to see a whole site, a complete plot of land, or a hotel and gardens for example. Our virtual reality tours give you 360 interactive views of rooms and buildings allowing your customers to get a real impression of your business from your website. Of course we also take conventional high quality photographs to give you images that can help you market your business, sell your property or use in a planning application.

To add a virtual tour of your property or business to your website, firstly we agree with you which areas you want to feature and any special effects, such as audio clips you might want to include. Then we take a series of photographs using a high quality optics to create a panorama of each area. Using specially developed software we put these panoramas together to create the tour. The tour can include a number of extra features such as: music or audio clip, video clips, close up photographs, links to other parts of your web site such as an online shop. For the elevated camera or aerial photographs we use a robust telescopic mast system. The system is portable so we can take photographs in almost any location. The mast extends up to 15m in height and the camera is controlled remotely at ground level. The image the camera is viewing can be seen on a laptop during the shooting process so it is easy to ensure we take photographs of exactly what you specify. These aerial photographs are ideal for showing a complete site for use in for sale brochures of larger properties. They are also valuable for checking roof or structural damage without the risk of working at height.
