BIO

Hello! My name is Marcus Delker, and I am a 17-year-old from sunny, Carlsbad, CA. Ever since I was little, I have always been into photography and back then, I used to use my mom's little Nikon D3100 all the time to take pictures around the house. Another hobby of mine at the time was anything that involved a remote control. Around the age of 6, I got my hands on a cheap little drone with this extremely inadequate camera on the bottom yet at the time, this was revolutionary. I had no idea what this slight obsession of mine would eventually lead to. About ten years later, COVID-19 hit. I was insanely bored and had nothing to do... except for resurrecting my childhood dream of getting a REAL camera drone. Do achieve this goal, I mustered up the courage and sold my Xbox, did some work around the house, and headed over to Best Buy to get the new (at the time) DJI Mavic Mini (2020). I had so much fun flying it around and going to the beach to get some footage but eventually, I grew out of it and wanted more. So, after a few more months of hard work, I saved up all my cash and got the Mavic Air 2 which opened up a whole new world for me to explore. This drone has led to creating many amazing YouTube videos and, now, my own small business! 

​

My creative journey hasn't just been all drones though; not too long after I had purchased my second drone, I picked up one of my parents old film cameras and began to broaden my horizons in the photography world. Since then, I have started to shoot film every weekend for my church youth group and have been able to sharpen my skills through the process. 

Where will the profit be going to? Right now, I am heading off to Point Loma Nazarene University to start my freshman year in the Fall of 2022 so all of my profits will be going straight to helping me pay for college.
