Truckee – Tahoe’s Carmel Gallery features the work of Elizabeth and Olof Carmel, who are Truckee based photographers specializing in unique and expressive landscapes of the natural world. Their prints combine dramatic photography, vivid colors, and artistic touches to create new, captivating visions of the natural world. All of their works are printed as museum quality pigment prints using archival inks and museum-quality printing materials. The Carmels live full-time in Truckee, California. They are active in the local community; Olof participates in local nordic ski racing & coaching activities, and Elizabeth is involved in Girl Scouting and contributes her time and photographic talents to local and national Land Trust organizations.
 Elizabeth is an award winning photographer and the author of the best selling photography books "Brilliant Waters, Portraits of Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, and the High Sierra", with a foreword by Robert Redford; and her 2010 publication: “The Changing Range of Light, Portraits of the High Sierra.” Using a 39 megapixel Hasselblad camera, her work emphasizes incredible detail, extraordinary composition and unparalleled color and tonal range. Her prints are available in small, exclusive limited editions of 50. Elizabeth's work has been featured in many magazines, including Outdoor Photographer, Sierra Magazine, People, and Sunset. Her work is in many private and corporate collections and has been displayed at prominent museums. Elizabeth was one of 12 photographers in the world selected as a “Hasselblad Master” in 2006.
 Olof is a versatile photographer who's work is in galleries throughout the west, including the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite. Olof began his career in a prominent S.F. Bay Area custom B&W lab (Gamma) in 1981. During the 1980's and 90's he worked and photographed as a backcountry ranger with the National Park Service in Yosemite, Denali, Glacier, Mt Rainier and Rocky Mtn National Parks. He has devoted much of the past two years to designing and building the Carmels’ new 2600 square foot gallery building. In addition to photography, Olof has a background in drawing and watercolors - an influence that can be seen in his images. His popular prints are available in small open editions or as limited editions of 200.
The Carmels recently opened a newly expanded art gallery, located at 9940 Donner Pass Road in historic downtown Truckee, California, the gateway to the Lake Tahoe region. The new 2600 square foot Carmel Gallery features a stunning collection of fine art landscape photography by Olof & Elizabeth Carmel, along with a unique and exciting collection of sculpture, woodwork, jewelry, and Berkeley Mills furnishings.
