Re: Street View Trusted Photographer

Could someone from Google please update this to the latest version and also (re-)move all outdated and unvalid threads to this topic to an archive? Would make live easier for all interested ones.

Hello @Corrie

I have been taking lots of street view photographs. My question is; How do I get certified to be a trusted street view photographer and how do I view my added street view photographs and where should I apply if it is there to get certified as a street view photographer.

 

Thank you.

Hello Mr. Jonask

 

That's a good question.

I think If someone pretends that his/her fake pictures are true it'ill be more difficult for us to recognize this, but one day Google's Street View's team or someone else might reconize this sorrow actitute.

 

Yours,

Hi @JonasKL this is a frequent question.

First of all, a trusted photographer have to start using Street View App to take some 360 shots.

Then you need to upload to maps, on a placepage, and get approved into maps.

You can see your 360 approved maps under the Profile Tab in your SV App installed on your smartphone.

 

Here are the guidelines

 

If you are eligible to become "Trusted Photographer", the team of Streetview Trusted program will send you an email with informations regarding the program and how to apply.
There are some new requirements to be eligible, here's the list.

New requirements for being trusted (taking effect July 11, 2016)
Publish 50 Google Maps approved 360 photos cumulatively
360 photos must be at least 14MP resolution, but images must be clear and without motion blur
Minimum number of 360 photos per shoot can be 1
HDR is no longer required if you can get adequate details in shadows and bright areas

Updated benefits of being trusted
A digital badge that distinguishes your published work and profile throughout the Street View app
Updated trusted brand assets, like this new sticker
A next-gen trusted contributors index (for now, you’ll still be listed on our current for-hire index)
Paid leads as local businesses request shoots (expanding soon to new countries)

Other new features and tools
Automated connectivity of your 360 photos shot 1m to 3m apart
Invitation to the trusted program directly in the Street View app once you’ve published 50 Google Maps approved 360 photos
An opportunities tab in the Street View app to find places that could use more 360 photos
Embedding 360 photos that were published using the Street View app
Transferring ownership of 360 photos using the Street View app

I am a bad person, I seldom find the right spot to do it.  Hell even panoramas feel out of place when I am trying to take photos.
