HDR­Source offers a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent ser­vices for 3-​​D artists, devel­op­ers, archi­tects, inte­rior design­ers, real­tors, adver­tis­ing, and mar­ket­ing companies.

1. HDR /​ High Dynamic Range Store:

HDR­Source offers up the lat­est high res­o­lu­tion, 360-​​degree panoramic HDR images, HDR libraries, and sIBL sets for incor­po­ra­tion into your 3-​​D projects.
Please visit the HDR store for more infor­ma­tion and a sam­ple of our gallery images.

2. Cus­tom HDR Creation:

If you are in need of some­one to take 360-​​degree High Dynamic Range images for your project, please feel free to con­tact me. I am con­ve­niently located in the Boston/​New Eng­land area and will travel on-​​site as nec­es­sary. I am the only per­son in the entire New Eng­land area (that I am aware of) that reg­u­larly takes 360-​​degree HDRs for com­puter graph­ics. I have some of the lat­est state-​​of-​​the-​​art pho­tog­ra­phy equip­ment, com­puter hard­ware, soft­ware, and exper­tise to cus­tom pho­to­graph and cap­ture your environment.

Rates for a cus­tom HDR cre­ation is $2,000 per image. These costs cover the expenses of equip­ment, exper­tise, imple­men­ta­tion, and pro­cess­ing time.

I can also be hired for $4,000 per day and will try to cap­ture as many HDR pho­tographs and envi­ron­ments as pos­si­ble within the allot­ted time-​​frame.

These rates do not include addi­tional charges for travel, meet­ings, air­fare, accom­mo­da­tion, and meals.

3. 360-​​degree Vir­tual Tours /​ Vir­tual Real­ity and Photography:

If you are look­ing for 360-​​degree panoramic Vir­tual Reality/​Virtual Tours of a space, we uti­lize much of the same equip­ment and soft­ware to effi­ciently cap­ture an envi­ron­ment for dis­play on pre­sen­ta­tions and web­sites. Real­tors and devel­op­ers often use our 360-​​degree vir­tual tours to help mar­ket their prop­er­ties to prospec­tive home own­ers and ten­ants. The for­mat of images we pro­vide will be Quick­time or Flash ready.

Rates for a sin­gle 360-​​degree panoramic image (non-​​HDR image) is $500–750 per image.

I can also be hired on a daily basis for $3,000 per day and will try to cap­ture as many pho­tographs and envi­ron­ments as pos­si­ble within the allot­ted time-​​frame.

These rates do not include addi­tional charges for travel, meet­ings, air­fare, accom­mo­da­tion, and meals.

4. Web­site Design and Development:

I have over 10 years of expe­ri­ence set­ting up, host­ing, design­ing, and devel­op­ing web­sites. Some of my web­sites have been fea­tured on CNN, Head­line News, and in Time Mag­a­zine. My phi­los­o­phy in cre­at­ing and design­ing web­sites is to keep them as clean as pos­si­ble while pro­vid­ing the end-​​user with a high qual­ity, fully immer­sive experience.

I also believe in cre­at­ing web­sites that can be eas­ily main­tained and updated by my clients. My lat­est web­sites are often designed around CMS (Con­tent Man­age­ment Systems)/Blogging sys­tems because they are:

1. Highly cus­tomiz­able appearance-​​wise and flexible.
2. Eas­ily extended.
3. Eas­ily maintained.
4. Eas­ily updated.
5. Quickly imple­mented.
6. Widely sup­ported.
7. Offers addi­tional fea­tures such as forums and com­ment­ing systems
8. Pro­vides an easy inter­face to add news arti­cles and developments.

These sites can be made to look like ordi­nary web­sites (non-​​blogging) yet are eas­ier to main­tain by using this methodology.

Added to my design and devel­op­ment skills, is a mas­tery of Search Engine Opti­miza­tion (SEO) meth­ods for Google. While many design­ers can cre­ate a web­site, few can cre­ate a clean visual expe­ri­ence, and even fewer have the knowl­edge to get their web­sites high in Inter­net rank­ing. The major­ity of the time, this is a com­pletely sep­a­rate ser­vice for which web­site own­ers charge thou­sands of dol­lars for and often result in min­i­mal results. I can often get client’s web­sites to a very high rank on the Inter­net for var­i­ous search terms. Opti­miz­ing your web­site for hits through search engines pays for itself alone in adver­tis­ing. My main web­site, Lunarstu­dio is a prime exam­ple of prop­erly employed SEO tech­niques — it ranks for over 100 search terms in the top 10 of var­i­ous Google searches and is cur­rently ranked #2 for my main field of work.

Rates are $5,000 min­i­mum per web­site and take a week on aver­age to com­plete. Advanced web­sites which include forums, shop­ping carts, and require a higher lev­els of search engine opti­miza­tion (for highly com­pet­i­tive cat­e­gories) will increase these rates. Please con­tact me for more information.

Please note that I do not work on nor sup­port any web­sites that are racist, misog­y­nist, anti-​​LGBT, or in any way sup­port the denial of human rights.

5. Advance Search Engine Opti­miza­tion (SEO) Con­sul­tancy and Implementation:

I guard my search engine opti­miza­tion tech­niques very closely. The more dif­fi­cult the key phrase/​key term, the longer the invest­ment of time in an ever chang­ing, dynamic field. The end-​​results would be typ­i­cal of hir­ing a mar­ket­ing expert/​executive on a full-​​time basis for sev­eral years straight, or hun­dreds of thou­sands of dol­lars on a banner/​advertisement cam­paign. Due to the com­par­i­son of hir­ing a full-​​time mar­ket­ing employee, my advance rates tend to be very expen­sive yet more than pays for itself in results.

6. 3-​​D Archi­tec­tural Ren­der­ings and Animations:

My main com­pany, Lunarstu­dio spe­cial­izes in 3d archi­tec­tural ren­der­ings and ani­ma­tions. Please visit www.lunarstudio.com for more information.
