When discussing 360 degree photography it is first necessary to establish what type we are talking about. Is it for photography of products otherwise known as Spin Photography, Rotation Photography or 360 Commercial Photography? Or is it of the panoramic view variety or internal 360 views of cars?
As you can imagine it is easy to get confused and if you are looking for 360 degree photography of the commercial product type, it is wise to bear this in mind when searching in Google, Yahoo or whatever your chosen search engine is.
Once we have established that we are looking for 360 Product Photography, typically for ecommerce websites, the choice of service being provided varies not a lot. 360 degree photography has become the domain of a rather similar product which is typically an item placed on a turntable, photographed from one position, with a side shot stitched together, giving a left to right movement or right to left movement.
The quality does vary, so it is not all the same and it very much depends on how important it is for your company to stand out from the crowd. So if photography on a single axis is what you are looking for, there are plenty of companies to choose from. If you are looking for multi axis 360 degree photography, then the choice is simple.
