Reinis Vilnis Baltiņš, founder of SkyHigh, DOP, certified drone pilot, editor, motion graphics creator, and media production specialist based in Riga, Latvia.
My visual storytelling journey began in 2008, when a camera turned curiosity into a lifelong craft. Since then, I have built a career defined by hands-on production, cinematic precision, and a deep understanding of composition, movement, light, editing, and story.
As a Director of Photography and Media Production Lead, I have worked on 300+ productions across commercial, branded, documentary, broadcast, real estate, long-form, and regulated environments — leading projects from creative planning and aerial cinematography to on-set execution and post-production supervision.
My work is built on precision, reliability, and the ability to capture shots that are difficult to repeat. From advanced aerial and FPV operations to live broadcasts, NDA projects, embargoed launches, and high-pressure productions, I am trusted in situations where the shot has to be right the first time.
Since 2015, drones have become a defining part of my visual language — bringing movement, scale, and perspective into my work in ways traditional cameras cannot. Backed by 12+ years of professional drone piloting experience, EASA A1/A3 and A2 licenses, and authorization for controlled airspace operations, including Riga International Airport, I approach every aerial production with both creative precision and operational control.
Through SkyHigh, I create cinematic aerial and ground-based visuals for brands, agencies, production companies, real estate developers, tourism projects, and live events. Based in Latvia and available across Europe and internationally, I travel to where the story needs to be captured — delivering production-ready footage with precision, reliability, and a cinematic eye.
My experience spans global technology collaborations, product launches, regulated environments, live broadcasts, and NDA-restricted media for major real estate and development projects — supporting investor relations, sales, strategic communication, brand storytelling, and high-value commercial outcomes.
SkyHigh is built on that experience.
It represents a practical, cinematic approach to visual production — combining drone cinematography, camera work, editing, color grading, technical planning, and real-world production leadership. My goal is simple: to capture stunning, purposeful visuals that elevate the project, strengthen the story, and create images that feel memorable.
If you need cinematic drone footage, advanced aerial shots, FPV movement, production-ready visuals, or a reliable filmmaker who can come to your location and deliver under real production conditions, SkyHigh is ready to move with the project.
SkyHigh is not only about flying higher. It is about capturing the shot few others can.
