Local Guide Ayaka in Tokyo has shared over 10,000 photos on Google Maps, which have been viewed more than 100 million times. Sebastian, a Local Guide in New York City who shares photos of the city’s subway stops on Google Maps, is not far behind with 90 million views. Curious how they take such intriguing, helpful snaps? Our new YouTube series, Photo Journey, explores that exact question.
In this series, you’ll get tips for taking beautiful photos and learn how sharing 360 photos can show others what places are really like. You’ll also see how Local Guide Vanessa takes photos that help other parents find kid-friendly places in Chicago and how Michael, a Local Guide in Jakarta, uses a drone to take amazing shots of his city. Stay tuned for new episodes, too!

Excellent Feat! I Take Photos Lying Down, Underneath Things, And Like To Dress The Pixel Like Models. Ex: If I Shoot Store Products, I Might Take The Product Home And Dress Them Up Like Below"Poor Man's Ramen
BTW, the photo walk are a great oportunity to share experiences, if the september 1st you are near Barcelona you could participate to the photo walk BCN from Gothic to Olympic:
Contributing photos to Maps is one of the great ways to help people find places they would like to go, and further help those who cannot travel physically to travel vicariously through the lens of other Local Guides.
Our photos help people every day and we should always share our best.
Very nice post! Also would like to be featured. Am a Dutch video journalist travelling around in Africa. During my travels I take pictures of the hotels and write reviews. Now level 7 I started approaching hotels to show me around for pictureand reviews. It works out nicely. And this brought me almost to level 8 but am looking at more.

You are an amazing photographer dear @AYAKA. With a DSLR camera you're taking pictures so effortlessly.. 👍👌
Currently, I use a Samsung Galaxy S9 plus phone camera & love the ease of swiftly taking a lot of pics, without being noticed much. Deep inside my heart, I however, crazily desire to use a DSLR camera. I have no experience of a DSLR camera. I feel hesitated in buying one because I think it would not be easy for me to carry it along. I feel I will take much less pictures with a (mostly) cumbersome gadget like a DSLR camera than I do with a mobile phone camera. What do you guys think..
