CHICAGO: The Musical - Head Shots by GBP Creative Photo and Video

Well folks, tonight's the night...CHICAGO the musical is hitting the Guild Hall stage!

If you haven't gotten tickets to see this show, stop what you're doing (well, finish checking out this blog maybe, THEN stop what you're doing) and get down to Whitehorse Motors to grab some tickets!  It's going to be one amazing show...How do we know? Well we had the great fortune of sponsoring it, and in doing so, we did some promo shots for the poster, as well as all of the head shots for the cast and crew!

And what a cast it is! These people have given SO much to this show to make it happen, and we were so stoked to have gotten to support them in doing so! We decided we wanted to scrap the traditional headshot concepts, and do something that was a bit more sassy...more Chicago style and all...

So, let us introduce you to the cast and crew of CHICAGO! We'll be there cheering them on this friday night...what night are you gonna check them out??

Corporate Head Shots-GBP Creative Photography and Video

Ahhh the headshot. 

For some reason, this is one of the most feared photography sessions out there.  Maybe it's because it's all focussed in on you-it's about making you look your best, and it just happens to be human nature that we're all our own worst critics when it comes to our looks.  So the nerves tend to get going the second a camera gets pointed at many people's faces....

But fear not everyone! That's what we're here for...We strive to make every photography session as relaxed and easy going as possible.  So even if you need that professional, corporate headshot taken, we want to make sure we still get a nice natural look captured for you, without it being the most painful experience of your life.

How do we do it? Well, by not taking ourselves too seriously of course...i'm gonna let out a secret here, and let you know that Gary Bremner is just like many you...he HATES getting is photo taken.  There's a reason he's on the other end of the lens...So he gets where you're coming from, and because of that we will do everything we can to make sure the headshot experience isn't a scary one for you.  Whether it's finding your favourite song to listen to (we've got everything from Public Enemy to One Direction), a coffee and baileys (it makes you feel warm and fuzzy!), or sharing stories of Yukon adventures, we just love connecting with our clients and making them feel at ease...so we can then sneakily capture your face for the rest.of.time.  (no pressure right?)  

SO, here's a few examples of headshot work we've done recently...if you are needing a session for your business, or for a social media package, give us a shout at info@garybremner.com and we'll get ya booked in! 

PS...It was the Girl Guides that made us download One Direction...we swear... 

Engagement Shoot-Yukon Style: GBP Creative Photography and Video

Well...even though it's only March, wedding season is just around the corner, which means we are also doing some engagement sessions in preparation for our couples' big days!

Most of the time when we work with a couple and are looking to plan an engagement shoot, we talk about certain landmarks that might be memorable for them-where they first met, their first date, etc.

Well we were pretty stoked with this particular couple said that they wanted to go "old school" Yukon, pull out some snowshoes and head up to a cabin they frequent with friends.  They even borrowed various pieces of their parents attire, a Hudson's Bay Blanket and of course, what Yukon themed engagement session wouldn't include a rifle and some dogs?...

We had an absolute blast working with these guys-they had an amazing sense of humour and we have no doubt their wedding is going to be crazy fun this summer...

Family Portraits and Star Wars-GBP Creative Photography and Video

So, what do you get when you mix a family with two adorable kids and a love affair with Star Wars? Some epic family photos, that's what.

We love it when people come to the studio and ask for something unique and creative...and so when we saw Star Wars masks and light sabres being brought in, we were stoked!

Plus, editing photos just feels way more badass when light sabers are involved.  It's a fact...

Canadian Music Week and Speed Control- GBP Yukon Photographer

As we've posted about many times before, we here at GBP love music.  Not only that,  we love working with artists to help them create images that represent their music and their style...images that in one glance, can give you a feel for what that artist is all about.

Over the past year in particular, we've started to do a lot more work within the Yukon music industry, in both still photography and videos. It's the creative/conceptual aspect to these shoots that we love the most as it becomes a brand new challenge with each artist to help create the artistic direction needed in order to really showcase their sound through imagery. 

It's because of this love of the music industry that we decided to attend the Music Summit as part of Canadian Music Week this March in Toronto! We are SO stoked to be able to be attending as part of the Yukon contingent that's heading down to network and learn from some of the best and brightest in the North American music industry.  (Huge thank you to both the Yukon Film and Sound Commission and the Department of Economic Development for your support in this opportunity)  From marketing directors to sound technicians, Music Week is filled with breakout sessions, workshops and keynotes that help provide music industry professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to advance in the field. 

We are so pumped for this opportunity, and can't wait to bring back the knowledge we gain into our future projects both locally and across Canada!  

SO in honour of the fact that we're only a month out from the trip, we wanted to share a few of our latest shots with local band Speed Control! 

And let me tell you...this may have taken the record for the loudest shoot our studio has had to date!
