ABOUT THE STUDIO

Flown by Marco Reyes.

A local perspective, backed by a decade on the ground.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE CONTROLS

Marco’s story.

Marco Reyes is a Salt Lake City native who spent a decade photographing construction sites from the ground before he started flying commercially in 2019.

He founded Skyline Nine in 2021 to bring that site-level understanding to aerial photography and video. Marco still pilots every job himself, from the first airspace check to the final frame.
