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

Contest Winners… with a twist!

Friday, June 12, 2009

One of the winners of our contest “WARM UP TO LOVE” were Amy and Josh. They submitted a photo way back in the dead of winter and since then a lot has happened. Not only did they win a free photo session, but they also got engaged in May! Congratulations guys! I was more than happy to go run around Kil-Cona Park one evening this week for a portrait session. I can safely say that this adorable couple loves having fun together and are completely into each other! Throughout the shoot, I’d often overhear them whisper “I love you” into each other’s ears. All together now: “Aaaaaaaaw!”

I think these pictures say a lot about who they are, and though it was my first time meeting them, I was glad I got the chance to get to know them so well. Thanks guys for being such great models! :)
