Elizabeth Carmel is a Sierra-based photographer specializing in unique, expressive landscapes and "waterscapes." Her prints combine dramatic photography, vivid colors, and artistic touches to create new, captivating visions of the natural world. Using a Hasselblad H1 with an ultra-high resolution 22 megapixel digital back, she is able to capture the subtle details of the natural world and transfer them to large prints with stunning clarity and color.
She does her own printing on fine art paper or canvas with long-life pigmented inks. Ms. Carmel has spent years exploring and photographing the diverse landscapes of the world. Her award winning images are in numerous galleries and private collections throughout the United States, and were recently selected for display at the Nevada Museum of Art.
In recognition of her fine art photography and technical expertise, Elizabeth is one of 12 photographers worldwide honored with the Hasselblad Master Photographer award for 2006. Her prints will be added to the Hasselblad corporate collection in Sweden and used for a worldwide campaign.
I believe that experiencing the Earth's beauty has the power to help nourish and unify us, both on a personal and global level. Through my photography I endeavor to translate these experiences into fine art prints. I strive to create images that link us to feelings and perceptions we may not access regularly in our daily lives. I believe that great fine art photographs are a gateway through habitual thinking to a larger perspective.
