Dwight Winston, the U.S. Virgin Islands-based aerial cinematographer, has received his third Emmy nomination for his work on CBS’s Survivor, reinforcing his status as one of the Caribbean’s most accomplished visual artists working in global television today.

These synchronized, eco-friendly aerial displays have become standout features at major Caribbean events, including the Crucian Christmas Festival in St. Croix and the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino’s 4th of July celebration. His team also produces custom drone displays for private events and cultural showcases across the region.
Winston’s mission extends beyond personal accolades. Whether capturing sweeping aerials for a global television audience or orchestrating dazzling light shows for local festivals, he’s focused on spotlighting Caribbean technical and creative excellence.
