Capturing the Spirit of Champions: A Visual Legacy for Georgia Athletics
"They gave history a heartbeat."
You can hire a photographer to take a picture. What Five Points Studio did was witness greatness and translate it with soul. They stood with us in a moment that didn’t end the way we dreamed – the 2018 National Championship was heartbreak. Yet they captured that it with reverence, not pity. Their images showed the grit beneath the grief, the hunger that would become history. No good Dawg stays down for long — and what they preserved became the visual prelude to the triumphs that followed. They didn’t just document. They dignified. What they captured will live on in our halls, our history, and in the hearts of everyone who was there."
The University of Georgia Athletics Department needed a creative partner who could match the gravity of historic sports moments with the elegance and edge of modern storytelling. This wasn’t just about coverage – it was about preservation, legacy, and capturing emotion in real time.
We approached the work with a photojournalistic lens, blending editorial sharpness with cinematic timing. Our presence was both agile and invisible – ready to move with the play, but grounded in awareness. Using state-of-the-art equipment and instinctual framing, we focused on raw emotion: ambition, stillness, celebration. The brief wasn’t just about action – it was about atmosphere and essence.
The images became core assets in internal archives, external media and alumni communications of the university. More than mere documentation, the photography elevated how the program shares its story with fans, future recruits and the legacy of the athletes themselves. The work now lives across national sports coverage, internal heritage projects and continues to shape the visual voice of one of the most iconic athletic programs in the South.
