ESPN College GameDay — NMSU Athletics: Uncharted
NMSU’s ESPN College GameDay debut vs. Wyoming shot as a documentary-style visual library built for story, speed, and legacy.
Project Snapshot:
Role: Photographer (BTS + live coverage)
Deliverables: Stills + BTS coverage / hero moments / portraits / atmosphere + fan energy
On a day the program stepped onto a national stage, the goal was simple: capture it like it felt—the pressure, the pride, the broadcast machine, and the people behind the moment. A visual archive that holds up beyond the 24-hour news cycle.
Approach
Shot like a documentary: moments first, then polish
Prioritized hero frames + connective tissue (details, hands, expressions, motion)
Built an evergreen archive—assets that still work months later for recruiting, features, and program narrative
Booking game-day + documentary BTS for Athletics, Bowl teams, and destination partners (Visit ABQ / NM Bowl / brands).
