I’m Gabriel Chavez Zeckua aka “Skyline Drone”, an aerial photographer and videographer with nine years of experience flying drones around San Antonio. My passion is capturing a unique perspective of our beautiful city, supporting local businesses, and showcasing its landmarks. Notably, in 2021, I curated and presented the first aerial photography exhibit in San Antonio titled “San Antonio: Perspectives from the Sky,” hosted at prominent venues like the San Antonio International Airport and UNAM San Antonio. I’ve collaborated with key entities like the San Antonio Riverwalk, The Alamodome, The Tower of the Americas, San Antonio Spurs, Kens5, KSat12, Fox, Forbes Magazine, and more, providing stunning aerial views for various events. In 2020, I produced the short film “Run Darling, Run,” an official selection at the Waco Family Film Festival and a winner at the Wimberley Film Festival. Additionally, I’ve created the Social Media miniseries “San Antonio Personalities,” featuring local figures in one-minute drone videos. During the pandemic, I filmed, edited, and produced the YouTube miniseries “Covid-19 San Antonio Stories,” offering diverse perspectives on living through a pandemic. I’m enthusiastic about continuing to contribute my aerial photography and videography skills to this wonderful city.

What you perceive is influenced not just by the object of your gaze, but also by your vantage point. Leveraging the distinctive outlook provided by aerial photography, I am dedicated to seizing these remarkable vistas. Over the past nine years, my passion for capturing images with a drone has been fueled by the desire to present ordinary subjects through a fresh lens, exploiting the freedom to elevate the camera to unprecedented heights and position it at extraordinary angles. Through my work, I aim to illustrate that, akin to life, there exists a multitude of perspectives to view things.
