| Howard smith has spent the last 5 years in Spain specialising in interior and exterior property photography. He is now back in the U.k and operating the company from his new base in the beautiful city of York. "Having spent many years as an Amateur photographer and keen entrepreneur it was a simple decision to enter the world of Professional Property Photography " "The real estate market was in the longer term going to need to concentrate more heavily on quality still photography and virtual panoramic web tour Photography in order to market property properly" Fotofreedom specialises in still photography , panoramic web photography and aerial property photography , "Virtual web photography is an exciting new medium that is an excellent way of viewing property on the web and I believe I was influenced in 2002 when I was fortunate enough to visit the Mesdag Museum in Den Hague, Netherlands" This is a gallery of seascape art works by Hendrik Willem Mesdag (1831- 1915)" but More to the point it contains "The Panorama Mesdag" This is a cylindrical painting, more than 14 metres high and 120 metres in circumference. It shows the vista of the sea, the dunes and Scheveningen village and was painted by one of the most famous painters of the Hague School, Hendrik Willem Mesdag. It is the oldest 19th century panorama in the world in its original site, and a unique cultural heritage to Netherlands. After navigating a circular staircase you suddenly step out onto a flat decking which can only be described as being stood within a wooden gazebo and looking out on the most wonderful vista of Scheveningen in the 19th century , "When i think about this now i feel my self tingling at the memory ." "Seeing the cavalry training on the beach amidst the fleet of herring boats laying dormant on the sand or taking wind to their sails in the choppy north sea and on turning myself round to see the more serene view of the simple canals and houses of the 19th century coastal town ," "The Mesdag Panorama is the most beautiful sensation of my life. It has just one tiny flaw and that is its flawlesness." - Vincent van Gogh, painter, 1881 "i only hope that in some way my virtual tours can offer the viewer an experience that will amaze them too" I stake my reputation on ensuring that my Clients receive photographs and web tours that stand out from the crowd, and ensure the property is show cased in the best possible way." "I know I get results because my Clients tell me they do".
