Some people might know me as a former Pastor from Minnesota. Others (or Gen Z) might know me as that “cool photographer on Instagram.” But let me help you out since you’re new, I’m Craig Hensel. I’m a Creative Director and award-winning photographer.
I’ve been photographing for over 20 years with 7+ years of advertising agency experience. I dream up content, creative direct, produce, execute, resulting in work for brands like Polaris, McDonalds, Jeep, Google, Craftsman, AutoZone, the NBA, and NFL. I’ve been recognized as a Top 20 Marketer in Chicago winning awards for Reynolds Endless Table, and Breast Cancer Awareness.
I’m obsessed with building teams, mentoring creators, taking an idea from start to finish and helping brands communicate their story. The pastorate taught leadership, the camera brought creative, the teams bring the work. I look forward to making original content with you. Until then, cruise the site, feel the work and hit me with any questions.
