trusted Photographer

Good evening Pepe,

I recently bought a 360 camera and I was wondering if I could become a trusted street view photographer even if I do it as a hobby. I would like to make a business tour for my dad’s business, and because in Argentina there are no trusted 360 photographers, (at least in my region) I would like to do it myself, I know I need to take 50 360 photos but I was wondering if I needed to be an agency or a professional photographer to be trusted by Google, thanks!

@AugustinCrochat No it is just an issue of getting the 50 photos approved an individual can do it. The photo uploads and linking should be done from a phone and using the streetview app, so that you get credit towards the 50 Maps approved photos.

Hi @AugustinCrochat , Make sure you load the pictures using the Street View app. Then they will count towards your Trusted Google Photographer count. You don’t need to be a business, you can a Trusted Photographer as a hobby.

If you look up Argentina in the link below, most of them are individuals.

Hi @AugustinCrochat you will need to be a professional photographer only if you want to do this professionally, with invoices, VAT, taxes etc. :slight_smile:
But start it little, and see if there is market, before upscaling :slight_smile:
