As a photographer, google maps gives me a special opportunity to share the corners of the earth, visually through my lens. From the ruins in Rome, to the beaches of Australia, to the local coffee shop, each image I post is an opportunity to share knowledge with the world. Typically I like to share things from a new perspective, things that people might not notice. Commercially, I like to share images that really show who the business is, and what they do, and project their brand and personality through the photos. There is also the buzz you get when you see just how many people have connected with the photos and using them, you feel like you are really making a difference, particularly for people who might be bound to their home through disability or illness or who can’t afford the luxury of time or money to travel to the destinations you record.Google maps really is changing the way people look at and interact with their world and I am proud to be part of that narrative.
