About Me

Nikhilesh Haval, Architectural Photographer & Virtual Tour Specialist

I'm passionate about bringing architectural designs and interiors to life through striking visuals and immersive virtual tours. With every project, I aim to capture the essence of a space, its light, structure, mood and purpose, so others can truly experience it.

My Journey

I began my career in architecture, working with CAD, 3D modelling and software development. Over time, I was drawn to photography as a way to tell the story of a space, beyond plans and visualisations. In 2004, I transitioned fully into architectural photography and have been dedicated to the craft ever since.

In 2012, I became a trusted contributor to Google's Street View Inside Businesses programme, offering 360° virtual tours that allow clients to showcase their spaces in a powerful and engaging way. Since then, I've continued to expand my work to include interactive VR content and high-resolution imaging.

What I Do

  • Architectural Photography – Capturing the design, scale and rhythm of buildings with precision and creativity
  • Interior Photography – Focusing on light, layout and atmosphere to express the story of each space
  • 360° Virtual Tours & Panoramas – Developing on-brand, immersive and interactive environments for websites and Google, used for accessibility, marketing, education and research
  • Drone Imagery – Providing dynamic aerial views, 360° panoramas and videos to highlight context, scale and location
  • Gigapixel Photography – Creating ultra-high-resolution images ideal for large-format prints, deep zoom capabilities and interactive display platforms

Who I Work With

I've worked with a wide range of clients across the UK and internationally, from architects and lighting designers to business owners and heritage property managers. Every project is unique, and I enjoy working closely with each client to ensure the final visuals reflect their goals and vision.
