David Muench By Zach Dobrozsi

David Muench: Birthplace: Santa Barbra, California Date of Birth: June 25 th, 1936 Age: 79 Favorite Medium: Natural World Favorite Subject: American Landscape David Muench took interest into photography by traveling across the United States, attending colleges including The Art School of Design in Los Angeles , University of California, and Rochester Institute of Technology in New York

Other Information: Some of Muench’s photos, like the ones below, show good contrast along with shadows that give them a distinct look. Also in most of his photos, the focal point is taken from far away. I think Muench’s photos have had a vast impact on our society because his photos focus on what beautiful of a world we live in. Also how peaceful the Midwest is and most people will find interest in subject matter like this.

Famous Photos: Moonrise Delicate Arch (1985) White River View (1994) Lodgepole Winterscape (1974)

Great Teton Reflections: This is one of my favorite pictures from Muench because I like the way the focal point is positioned and the reflection of the mountains on the lake. The use of shadowing and contrast works really well with this picture.

Parker Grove Sequoias: Another one of my favorites is this one because the focal point is closer than his others and has a good use of texture. Even though contrast isn’t shown here, the misty background makes up for it.

Bristllecone Embrace And finally this is my favorite photo from Muench. The focal point is in a perfect spot for the viewer to understand the picture as a whole. Use of shadows all around brings picture together

Reasoning… One of the main reasons I chose this photographer is that I love pictures of nature and his pictures inspire me to take pictures like his. Also, the way he makes the focal point very visible makes you look at the whole picture instead of just that one thing. Another thing that made me chose Muench is his use of shadowing to give all his photos a depth look. Another thing I like is the concept of all of his photos being taken on the west side of the United States.
