Master Photographer on Google Maps


Master Photographer on Google Maps
Proud to be a Master Photographer, capturing the world one frame at a time and helping millions of people explore places through the lens of authenticity.

With over 1.3 million (13 lakh+) views on my photos, I’m honored to know that my images have helped countless users discover, decide, and navigate with confidence.
Each view is a reflection of real-world value—whether it helped someone choose the right restaurant, find a service, or plan their next journey.

I’ve added photos to 600+ places, making them more visible, accessible, and appealing on Google Maps.
From bustling markets and cozy cafés to public landmarks and offbeat spots, my camera helps bring these locations to life for the global community.

Every image I share is taken with purpose—to provide clarity, capture the essence of a place, and enhance the digital presence of local businesses and community spaces.
I don’t just click photos; I tell stories through them. Stories of culture, connection, and everyday life.

Visual information is powerful. People may forget words, but a picture stays with them. That’s why I strive for quality, relevance, and honesty in every shot.
My goal is simple: to make sure users don’t just see a place—they understand it.

As a proud contributor to the Local Guides community, I see photography as a tool for inclusion, transparency, and exploration.
By highlighting overlooked places, hidden details, and real atmospheres, I help shape a more visual, vibrant, and helpful world map.

Framing reality. Empowering discovery. Building trust—one photo at a time.
Because sometimes, a single picture can lead to someone’s next favorite place.

That’s a big number…

Hi @Hanugya.Panchal

I took a quick look at your latest photos uploaded to Google Maps. I’m afraid you missed quite a few of the guidelines for Maps photos.

Sir, my phone camera is not very good, so I’ve started using my old compact optical camera to take photos. I’ve begun capturing pictures with that now.

Please guide me on how I can get more views on my photos and videos. I would really appreciate your help and tips for improving visibility and engagement.

You are most welcome @Hanugya.Panchal

Wowww @Hanugya.Panchal congratulations :clap::tada:

Thank you for appreciating.

There is a lot to cover here.

First I looked at your photo updates. You uploaded the same photo to 3 different places:
Imran Ali and Brothers
IGF FRUIT TRADERS
G.H FRUIT CO. (42)
It is never okay to share the same photo to more than one place. And each photo needs to clearly show the place.

To Shubham Music , DishTV Service Center Banswara , Electronic & Electric Wholesaler
डिशटीवी डिस्ट्रीब्यूटर - शुभम म्यूजिक इलेक्ट्रॉनिक & इलेक्ट्रिक व्होलेसले
You uploaded 3 photos that looks like you made screenshots from a website or pdf. Again, we are only allowed to upload photos we took ourselves. Please delete these also.

The photo update you shared to
Parshwnath Namkeen & Misthan Bhandar
Is blurry (out of focus). Please do not share photos of low quality. Should also be deleted. And you even uploaded it twice. This is a grave violation.

You also uploaded the same photo twice to Rajawat Automobiles.

Now looking at your photos uploaded directly to a place or with a review.

Yesterday you uploaded about 46 photos to
Game Of Detailing.

Each photo you chose to upload should show something different. You are uploading way too many photos with the same or very similar content. Just changing the angle or zoom or orientation is considered bad practice.

These 6 photos basically shows the same. Please delete 5 of them.

Please read my tutorials on storefront photography to learn what photos to not upload.

Also, many of your photos are taken at night. It is not okay to upload dark photos. Dark photos are less helpful to Maps users.

Again, please delete all similar (redundant) and duplicate photos.

If you start fixing the issues I would be happy to revisit your contributions to check for more violations
