I’d like to introduce a new series of posts which will include: photography, logo design, painting + illustration all relating to the outdoors.
These photographers have shown an expert level of photography, incorporating the outdoors, a sense of emotion and brilliance to each piece.
Elizabeth Carmel
Carmel’s work is focused on expressive landscapes and waterscapes. Her style is one of a kind. A vivid sense of stillness can be felt while viewing many of her photographs. The color palettes she brings to life in these nature scenes, are absolutely stunning.
Carmel is one of 12 photographers worldwide to receive the Hasselblad Master Photographer Award. She’s spent many years exploring the world and putting her own spin on nature.

Why I find her work fascinating
+ She has the ability to create dialogue between the subjects in her photography, even though they feel completely still.
+ The clarity she brings to each color, drop of water and inch of sky is beyond recognition.
+ The depth and layers she captures with her outstanding technical skills bring a whole other level to the art of photography.

Ville Miettinen
I came across Ville’s eye catching photography while on Flickr a few weeks back and couldn’t stop thinking about how vibrant and stunning his work was. Many of his shots are done in HD, which has been quite popular lately.

I LOVE photography, Sarah and these are all amazing.
Thank you for putting in the effort to contact these amazing photographers and collecting these remarkable images.
And thanks to the photographers for allowing these works of art to be shared. I’m glad I was able to discover your work through this blog and site.
While I love all of these photos, pressed to choose I’d have to say the bear on the park bench is my favorite.
Great to hear Dayne, I’d have to say my favorite is the forest shot by Carmel. There is a great silent but strong dialogue between the set of smaller trees and the larger/closer tree. Brilliant! Yes, I was very excited that they were willing to share
I agree with Dayne, I love the park bench bear!
Excellent collection! Thanks for sharing!
@shannon I suppose he does seem pretty cuddly, even though there’s no way I would disturb a sleeping park bench bear
