Winnipeg Wedding Photographer | Gabrielle Touchette bio picture

Gabrielle Touchette

Welcome and thanks for visiting my blog! I'm a freelance photographer based in Winnipeg, Canada and I absolutely love what I do. I started my photography business a couple years ago after graduating from PrairieView School of Photography with a diploma in professional photography. What I learned at school was invaluable but I don't believe a diploma is more important than a strong portfolio.

My love of photography started a long time ago with a point & shoot camera, and my passion for this art form continues to grow with every shoot I do. I love photographing people and events and I am captivated by honest emotion and fleeting moments. My first love is the creation of photographic art and I'm in the constant pursuit of capturing the unconventional beauty of life. I believe every photograph should have intention because everything has a story and a purpose to communicate.

When I'm not busy shooting weddings, portraits or events, I teach photography classes at PrairieView and work on art projects for exhibitions with my photographic art collective, f/action.

"To take photographs means to recognize - simultaneously and within a fraction of a second - both the fact itself and the rigorous organization of visually perceived forms that give it meaning. It is putting one's head, one's eye and one's heart on the same axis."

-Henri Cartier-Bresson

Coming June 2010 – “Made in China” Photographic Art Exhibit

MadeInChina-blogMy photo art collective, f/action, is gearing up for a much-anticipated exhibit at Winnipeg’s Cre8ery Gallery from June 3 – 8, 2010. This project, together with Ailsa Dyson, Dallas Ludwick, Duncan McNairnay and myself, has been in the works for well over a year, and we can ‘t wait for the opening night in less than 3 months. The four of us will be each presenting our own photo series based on the popular “Made in China” phrase. I’m in the editing/prepping for printing phase of my project, and I’ve included a sneak peak at my series below. Mark your calendars: the opening is on June 3!

Headshot Photography in Winnipeg

Dean Harder is a local actor, comedian and improv artist who thinks outside the box and commits lots of enthusiasm and energy to every project he takes on. Getting some headshots done was no exception, and that’s why I love working with this guy. I had a great time taking these photos and even more excited when Dean was extremely happy with the results (it’s fun when your subject is as enthusiastic, if not more, about your final images!)

Thanks for the great photo session Dean – good luck in L.A.!

Studio Family Photos in Winnipeg

100103GT8323

Meet la famille Clément – a fun bunch of people with a great sense of humour! These shots were taken a couple months ago (oops, a little behind in my blogging!) This was my first shoot in my new studio, and it was a great way to break in the new space and take some fun family photos. I love doing family photos – it’s a great way to get everyone together, have some laughs, and capture some great expressions. If you’d like to come hang out at my studio for a shoot, just drop me an e-mail! photo @ egabrielle.com

Natural Window Light Portraits

Here are a few more shots from a session in my new studio back in January with my brother and his friends. This collection of photos is with natural light – the windows and space in that studio creates wonders. Can’t wait to do more window-light shooting!
