David Rosenthal

David’s first career was as an award-winning trailer editor, cutting movie previews and TV spots for campaigns such as Inception, The Last Samurai, Dunkirk, Interstellar, Arrival, and much more. This is where he first honed his creative sense of visual storytelling.

Since its founding, he has been integral to the behind-the-scenes development of Muench Workshops, helping to define and refine our vision, building the tools we use to run our business, and working on many of our workshops. In 2017, he left his day job to dedicate his time exclusively to Muench Workshops.

P.S. Did you know that David’s favorite book is by Cormac McCarthy? Learn more about David and his approaches to photography by visiting his “Meet the Pro” page.

Testimonials

Glenn B.

Donegal and Northern Ireland Coast

David clearly cares about his client’s experience, frequently checking in with everyone. I enjoyed talking with him and especially appreciated the time he took with my wife furthering her photography knowledge. His several tips taught me something new I’ll use going forward.

David was very good at setting schedules to get us to the right locations at the right time for the right light, and it paid off.

I appreciated - and grew from - the coaching from David on how to think about my landscape images.

Drishti A.

Adirondack Fall Foliage

I got more intentional with my composition after all I learnt from David and Johnathan. I’m so grateful for the experience that Muench Workshops provides, I’ve grown more than I could ever imagine with just 2 workshops. Thank you for creating a community that fosters growth in all these amazing locations.
