Chip Henderson creates imagery at locations he personally scouts, determining the optimal timing for dramatic light during the sports and outdoor shoots he directs.

Having grown up at his father’s advertising agency, his first summer job involved helping to lay sod for a client’s new golf course on Bald Head Island. From that formative experience, he has become one of the leading golfscape photographers and videographers, working with golf clients such as Pinehurst Resort, GOLF, and The PGA of America.

His work in resorts and advertising includes capturing many of the outdoor activities and locations that guests now enjoy. As an FAA-licensed drone pilot, he finds endless opportunities, taking on assignments for NC Tourism, Omni and Marriott Resorts, and Invited Clubs.

Bringing out the best in talent—through the right light, perfect locations, and a relaxed frame of mind during long shoot days—is a hallmark of Chip Henderson’s approach to lifestyle photography for resorts and travel destinations.

Raising seven children on a 40-acre property has taught him patience and equipped him to navigate the wide range of personalities and on-location challenges that come with the job.

Recent projects for Invited Clubs, North Carolina Tourism, and the Crystal Coast Tourism have all offered the chance to capture talent in exactly the right light.
