About

One studio. One standard.

The studio

Richard Gould, founder of Visto Studio

Richard Gould · Founder

Visto Studio is the second act of Vision Virtual Tours, a business built around Matterport in 2019 and outgrown by 2025.

The work changed. It became less about 3D tours and more about photography, video, drone, floor plans and Gaussian splatting, so the old name stopped describing it.

Every project is handled end to end, from the first site visit through to the edit and the final delivery. Nothing gets farmed out, so the standard does not drift between one shoot and the next.

The aim is never just a record of the room. It is to make the space impossible to ignore, so a buyer books the viewing, a parent pictures their child in the school, and an off-plan development feels real before anyone breaks ground.

I work with estate agents, property developers, short-let operators, schools and the occasional museum. If the space matters to you, I would like to hear about it.

The name

Visto comes from the Latin videre, to see. It is the root behind vision, visual and video. In Italian, visto means seen: not just the act of looking, but the state of having been properly seen.

That is the job. A space that has been properly seen becomes impossible to overlook.
