A Journey into Aerial Excellence in Scottsdale and Beyond
Nestled in the picturesque city of Scottsdale, Arizona, Worldwide Drone Solutions has become a benchmark for exceptional aerial photography and video production since its inception in 2019. At the helm of this innovative company is Greg Bernstein, a luminary in the world of visual storytelling. With a career that spans over 30 years, Bernstein’s journey is as inspiring as the breathtaking imagery he captures.
An Emmy Award-winning videographer, photographer, and editor, he has garnered acclaim for his ability to bring narratives to life through compelling visuals. His travels have taken him from the soaring cliffs of El Capitan in Yosemite to the vibrant depths of South American jungles, and even to the surreal ice floes of the Arctic Circle. Such diverse environments have not only shaped his technical abilities but have also cultivated a unique artist’s intuition that is evident in every project he undertakes. Visit Games of the North:

Greg’s credentials span from collaborations with prestigious clients including National Geographic, and ESPN, to notable work with DWELL at the Sundance Film Festival, and editing for a documentary on Temple Grandin for the Utah International Film Festival.

His passion for capturing dynamic artistry, nature and architecture is exemplified by his work such as the image of Tyler Carson known as “Fiddler On The Rock“, as seen on the cover of this issue, and with the avant-garde aerial dance troupe Bandaloop. Through his lens, Bernstein captures not just the visual beauty of a location, but also its essence and the stories that resonate within it, through all forms. At the BMW 50-year anniversary in Munich, Bernstein interactively captured the Bandaloop dancers making their way down from the almost 330-foot tall rooftop of the famous 4-Cylinders building, giving gravity and form a new expression. At times, Bernstein even suited up and was hanging down the walls himself.
