Michelle Calvanese
Donegal and Northern Ireland Coast ‘24
"From the quality of the accommodations to the superb dining choices, everything contributed to a truly memorable and satisfying trip."
Steve Gribble
Bisti Badlands ‘24
"I can't say enough good things about Wayne and Matt. They showed so much passion and excitement for being there with us, as well as a depth of technical and compositional experience and skill. Their leadership skills were terrific, and both showed incredible agility in handling the varied characters and needs of the workshop group. They really poured their hearts and minds into the week, and I'm grateful."
Jason Schultz
Tombstone ‘24
"Every time I work with Muench Workshops I improve. I have attended workshops with other providers but they did not compare to Muench Workshops with the level of attention to detail provided and the consideration given to the attendees."
Angie Hammond
Colorado Alpine Wildflowers ‘24
"Even if you consider yourself a beginning photographer, you don't have to feel intimidated by a Muench Workshops trip. I watched the recommended videos and was able to practice some of the Lightroom and Photoshop techniques prior to the workshop. The instructors met me at my level and I learned a lot and had a lot of fun in amazingly beautiful places"
David Foreman
Colorado Alpine Wildflowers ‘24
"The field instruction and assistance were beyond exemplary, with each workshop participant receiving personalized instruction and advice to ensure excellent photographic outcomes. With a low client-to-pro ratio, there was nowhere to hide — and no reason to!"
Reif Hammond
Colorado Alpine Wildflowers ‘24
"Instruction was at each person's level — not one size fits all (unlike so many workshops I have been to). With a ratio of 1 to 3 I did not have to wait for help."
Rita Modesti
Katmai Bears ‘21
"I like the communication offered by Muench workshops. It makes me feel that the company is on top of complexities that go into producing a good workshop and it is not just thrown together. I appreciate that you take the time to make a personal phone call to each and everyone of us."
Richard Kehmeier
Blue Ridge Waterfalls ‘23
"This was my first trip with Muench Workshops and it likely won’t by my last. One thing I really enjoyed were our in-depth conversations not only about photography but a very wide range of subjects. I feel l made good friends that will continue to enrich my life in the future."
Amy Ames
Antarctica ‘23
"It was the most perfect trip ever from start to finish. The guides and pros worked so hard to keep us well entertained and busy from the moment we hit the ship. I was exhausted at the end, but lots of full memory cards and a full heart."
Amal Ibrahim
Antarctica ‘23
"This was by far my best trip and photo workshop ever. I was impressed before it began and became more so throughout the workshop. The pros were approachable. I appreciated how they all offered assistance all the time, were always ready to answer questions, and were just great to be around. It felt like we were among friends. I left feeling encouraged and motivated to shoot more, learn more, and explore more with my photography skills."
Heather Gallagher
The Smoky Mountains ‘24
"I know people would say the workshops are expensive; however, being driven to the shoots and already knowing where to get the best shots, added to the accommodations, food, etc., being all-inclusive, was nice not to have to nickel and dime everywhere. When it came time for personal time, I felt like I could relax or go for a walk. You can't put a price on that, and I hope all the workshops have such a great group. I know many of them were repeats, which said a lot to me. The instructors included everyone and made us all feel welcome."
Sally Harms
Colorado Alpine Wildflowers ‘24
"You get what you pay for—a great, all-inclusive adventure, wonderful instruction, and all the help you ask for. Safe driving on difficult roads, a fun small group, great well-scouted locations with excellent photo opportunities, a chance to go places and camp places I would never do on my own (or even know about), and lots of follow-up opportunities. I'd rather pay a fair price than get some "bargain deal" where I have to add on food, hotel, and driving, and I don't have leaders of the Muench Workshops quality who I know can take care of whatever comes up."
Randy Whitefield
White Sands ‘23
"We really got our money's worth. I used to think Muench workshops were more expensive than others until I realized they were all-inclusive. When I ran the numbers, I found the costs were similar or even lower."
Steve Gribble
Bisti Badlands ‘24
"The workshop is fairly priced, given the quality of the people, experience, logistics, and education that we get. Well worth it."
