The brief

Sport Martley and Sport Dyson Perrins are two community sports centres in Worcestershire. Like any leisure facility, they depend on new members and visitors feeling confident enough to walk in for the first time. The aim was to let people see both centres before they arrive.

What we shot

We photographed both sites in 360° as bracketed HDR panoramas and linked the scenes into a walk-through tour for each centre. HDR matters in sports buildings, where bright windows sit next to large indoor spaces, and blending several exposures keeps detail across the whole scene. Visitors can move from space to space and look in any direction from each point.

Where it’s used

Our tours are published to Google Maps, where they appear on each centre’s business listing when people search for it, and the same tours can be embedded on the centres’ own websites. A gym or sports hall can feel intimidating to a newcomer, and seeing the space in advance lowers that barrier. We have photographed leisure facilities including Freedom Leisure’s St John’s Sports Centre, Guildford Spectrum and St Luke’s swimming pool in Brighton, and our leisure and sport tours page explains how we approach them.
