About NatureStream.tv

NatureStream.tv creates relaxing nature films for people who want to bring the beauty of the outdoors into everyday life. Founded by photographers Elizabeth and Olof Carmel, we offer films for personal viewing and commercial licensing for businesses, care communities, and media platforms.


The People Behind the Films

Our love of wild places began long before NatureStream.tv. We have been professional landscape photographers for more than 30 years, creating and selling fine art prints that celebrate the light, color, and quiet beauty of the natural world. Explore our photographs and shop our prints at The Carmel Gallery. NatureStream.tv grew from that same passion: bringing nature into homes and shared spaces through the screens people already use.

Elizabeth Carmel

Elizabeth is an award-winning landscape photographer, filmmaker, and author. Her books include Brilliant Waters: Portraits of Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, and the High Sierra and The Changing Range of Light: Portraits of the High Sierra.

Olof Carmel

Olof is a landscape photographer whose background includes work in a custom black-and-white photography lab and as a National Park Service backcountry ranger. His time in Yosemite and other national parks helped shape a lifelong connection with wilderness and a photographic style centered on light and mood.

  • Time to settle in. Long-form films let you spend time with a landscape, whether you are taking a quiet break or creating a welcoming backdrop.
