Hear what our customers have to say:

"We do most of our 360 photography in-house, so we knew what it involved, but utilising Vepple to supplement our in-house team meant that we could expand our content quicker than if we’d done it on our own. Their professional approach saved us time and gave us real confidence in the final product. We’ve still got a solid plan for doing 360s ourselves when we need to, but we’re genuinely excited to be working with Vepple again to give us more flexibility in when and where we capture new 360s. The plan is to bring key city locations to life with immersive 360 imagery — perfect for a virtual tour of Bradford that sits alongside our campus content and gives a proper feel for student life in our brilliant city."

Frequently Asked Questions about Vepple's 360 Panoramas

A campus shoot isn’t just another photography job. 360s are recruitment assets designed to deliver impact online for years to come. Universities tell us they choose Vepple because our quality and reliability save them time, money, and headaches in the long run. Some universities have in-house talent and technology to run their own shoots, but if you have any doubts about quality, please get in touch first so we can support you

In the last 20 years, we’ve captured and processed 360s for over 100 universities. That means we know what works, what doesn’t, and how to get it right first time. You’re not just buying photography, you’re buying proven expertise.

Yes. For most students, your campus is the deciding factor in choosing where to apply. 360s give them that immersive “on campus” feeling from anywhere in the world.

Because universities have been using our 360s for years, and they still look great! We shoot with premium equipment, experienced photographers, and a consistent style that ensures your content is future-proof.

That’s expected, and we make it easy to refresh your 360s. Many of our customers return to us as their campus evolves, because they know the updated content will blend seamlessly into their existing library.

Absolutely! Our 360s are designed to plug straight into Vepple’s virtual experiences, or onto your own website using our Embed solutions, with no fuss. That’s why so many universities come back to us again and again.

Of course! As long as they are in an equirectangular format, jpg, with a 2:1 aspect ratio and a minimum resolution of 6000px x 3000px.

We will provide a quote based on the number of images you require us to shoot, and how fast you need them to be processed. Please get in touch with your requirements and we can go from there!

We can typically capture 25 spaces in a day, depending on how close your locations are and what levels of dressing/staging are required. Our photographers have even had to empty bins and plump cushions on beds! We generally find the more you can prepare your spaces in advance, the more spaces the photographers can capture.

360s that include students feel warmer and more inviting, which our research shows prospective students prefer. That said, it depends on the space; a busy café or atrium without people can feel empty and cold, while a smaller space like a recording studio can work fine without them. Where possible, we recommend including students (or staff standing in), but don’t worry if it isn’t always practical.
