Location
The image was shot in the back stairwell of an old art deco designed office building in Detroit. I had just gotten my hands on a 360 camera and was heading out to give it a try, when I saw the open stairwells light.Time
It was mid-day and the stairwell was naturally lit by large windows at every landing for three stories.Lighting

The stairwell is art deco with multi-colored ceramic tiles. You can see all the way down to the street level. I mostly wanted to see what it all would look like in 360.Editing
The abstract was accomplished in post using small plant techniques. The swirling look was a natural result from the circular nature of the stairwell.In my camera bag
I rarely carry a bag.Feedback
360 imagery...kind of a new thing. There's no way to tech it. You just have to go out and play.
