Samantha
I've worked with Tour.Media for a number of years now as we continue to expand. Our high-end consumers expect to see a premium feel from our marketing and Tour. Media's HDR photography style compliments our branding perfectly. Daryl's knowledge and experience have helped us to transform areas of marketing we would have never considered - this has been incredibly valuable to us. We require large amounts of effective digital marketing imagery to use in-house for online and print but virtually promoting our venues across Google Maps is our most successful method for brand exposure not only is fast but analytical results prove TM's hard work is more than worth our continued investment. I highly recommend Tour.Media to anyone requiring quality marketing content and increased exposure online especially within the hospitality or event industry and even more so if you are new to the market. We'll see you again soon Daryl no doubt have a great Xmas! Sam More...

Tour.Media has helped us on many occasions working on different projects from virtual tours, photography, website development, social media, and print design. As a not-for-profit organisation they applied a lower rate for us which is great for charities with limited budgets. Tour.Media is our go-to company for all creative marketing and are always available to answer any tech questions even if it doesn't relate to marketing we know we can rely on them to help. 5* all the way!

Tour.Media created a 360-degree Google virtual tour which is now live across our Google listing page, Google Maps and our website. This is great exposure for our brand, we love showcasing our facilities to new and existing clients. As an added bonus we can also advertise our products to clients using a VR headset which we didn't know about at the time. The photographer on the day (Daryl) who I believe is the MD was very professional and on perfect time. He gave a lot of advice on other areas of photography and marketing which ended up turning into additional work for him (interior photography and product stills). Each shot is just spectacular and we even got a couple of extra photographs free of charge. We now have all the media we need for our 2019 marketing campaigns. Many thanks Daryl and team we will be highly recommending you to others :) More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
There is no secret, but I do believe there is a deep connection with a composition in all art forms and this is something people are just born with.
The general basics of composition and photography can be studied and the field mastered with experience and experimenting different techniques, but if you are born with the natural ability combined with lots of experience and years of study then jackpot. If an image speaks to you in any way then you know that the photographer 'is' the secret and you should hold on to them :)
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
The types of questions will differ depending on the brief/project but generally, it is always good for a photographer to understand your target market, the styles you like, formats, file sizes, legal implications (events) and copyright.
Who is the photography intended for? (audience)
Will the photography be used with or combined with any other media? (sizes, formats, composition)
Will the photography be shared across multiple platforms like social media, websites, print? (sizes, formats,)
What do you love most about your job?
Working at Tour.Media and Google has always given me the freedom to express myself in a creative manner.
Being one's boss is much harder than people might think I am my worst critic but I wouldn't give it up for the World. I meet lots of amazing people every day that inspire me, the chance to experience different cultures and the way people do things builds a unique understanding of the World and the people that
inhabit it and being able to capture that is the greatest feeling.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been very lucky down the business path having achieved a 1st class honours degree in Interactive Media with Photography and catching a couple of lucky breaks. I started out helping people that couldn't afford good quality media production / marketing and began my career working for not-for-profit organisations on a freelance basis. I was then approached by Google to help pioneer a new type of photography that would one day take the marketing world by storm and created Tour.Media using Google Street View technology. Today Tour.Media and 4 other media brands are the commercial areas I am involved with and 'Dary Jackson Photography' is my freelance, creative, experimental and charitable space.
Why should our clients choose you?
What you see is what you get I am a hard working, professional and I have the secret :)
I have built a very strong reputation over the years and in this business, you may have heard "it's not what you know, It's who you know" and that may be the case with some businesses but at Tour.Media's we pride ourselves on increasing our reputation by providing a great service every time our finger touches the shutter.
Once you hire me you essentially get my services for life, I will always be available to offer advice on all areas of marketing and media production when you need at no cost. You will hear from us to on occasion with analytic figures for your Google Virtual Tours or advice on how to best promote your new photography. We want to be the business you can trust and enjoy great business relationships so we go out of our way to make you happy.
