Gladsmuir Limited
Established Experience. Evolving Expertise.
Gladsmuir Limited is a privately owned Irish company operating three registered trading names: Contemporary Photography, CaptureTrain and CaptureLevel.
The company brings together professional photography, reality capture, specialist education and practical equipment development, with activities shaped by extensive experience in commercial and technical environments.
Incorporated in Ireland in 2014, Gladsmuir Limited provides the corporate foundation for businesses serving clients across a broad range of industries.
Our Background
The company’s activities have their roots in professional commercial photography, with experience extending across architecture, property, aviation, hospitality, retail and specialist industrial environments.
As imaging technology developed, our work expanded into immersive photography, 3D spatial documentation and reality capture.
This progression was driven by practical client requirements: the need to accurately record physical environments, make visual information accessible remotely, and provide useful documentation for professional workflows.
The experience gained through delivering these services subsequently informed the development of specialist training programmes and practical capture accessories.
Today, these activities operate under three distinct trading names, each serving a defined market while sharing a common foundation of technical knowledge and professional experience.
Leadership
Oliver Murray
Director, Gladsmuir Limited
Oliver Murray has a professional background spanning more than three decades in commercial photography, imaging technology and specialist visual documentation.
Educated at Amersham School of Art and The Polytechnic of Central London, now the University of Westminster, he has worked with organisations across commercial, industrial, public-sector and specialist environments in Ireland, the UK and internationally.
His experience includes award-winning Google Business View photography, professional Matterport capture, complex building documentation and the development and delivery of specialist training.
Oliver has undertaken reality-capture assignments for organisations operating in sectors including aviation, construction, engineering, property and facilities management.
He also contributes to industry conferences and professional development programmes, sharing practical experience in applying immersive technologies to the built environment.
His direct involvement in capture assignments, training, and equipment development provides the practical link among Gladsmuir Limited’s three trading businesses.

Outstanding Matterport Training & Game-Changing Accessory
We completed a two-day Matterport upskilling course with Oliver, which consisted of a classroom-based training day followed by a live, on-site project. The structure worked extremely well with theory first, then applying it in a real-world setting.
Oliver’s knowledge of Matterport is extensive and very clearly comes from years of hands-on experience. The training was highly informative, practical, and focused on how to work efficiently and professionally on live projects, not just how the system works in theory. You get insights that only come from actually doing the work day in, day out.
Following the training, we went on to purchase the MatterLevel, and it has made a massive difference to our workflow. Being able to level the camera quickly and accurately has improved speed on site and removed a lot of the small frustrations that add up over a day’s scanning. It’s simple, effective, and does exactly what it’s meant to do making capture faster, more consistent, and more professional.
Overall, the training was well worth doing, and the MatterLevel is now a piece of kit we wouldn’t want to be without. I’d highly recommend Oliver’s training and products to anyone serious about using Matterport professionally.
Thanks a mil for all your help Oliver.

Our company received training in the use of our new Matterport Pro3 this month. The day was very practical and had just the right mix of hands on and theory to keep everybody on board. Thank you to Oliver and his team.

I had a great experience with Oliver on the training day. The one to one training meant the information covered was tailored to suit me. We went through everything step by step from putting the camera together, planning your job, completing the virtual tour and uploading. There was plenty of time for questions and the training was very worthwhile.

I recently completed the Matterport Capture training here with Oliver Murray as a representative of EM3. The training material was excellently laid out, and Oliver is very knowledgeable with a very approachable, friendly demeanour. The entire Hitechniques team were very helpful throughout. We would highly recommend Hitechniques for all your Matterport related needs.
