My Research:
David Muench:
- Landscape and nature is his inspiration (generally American west)
- He works with colour, “paying attention to detail, highlighting even small elements such as the texture of stones” (http://photography.about.com/od/famousphotographers/a/David-Muench-Profile.htm).
- He aims to “present the wilderness to his audiences so they may be inspired to explore and protect it” According to Muench himself, he is often attracted to the raw beauty of the primitive beauty of the landscape, and that he finds peace and strength in being able to document it.

I love this landscape photograph. I think the arch is the subject matter and the frame of this image and this works quite well. I like the sunset in the background because the colours are dominant but don't overshadow the arch. The rolling clouds create interesting texture as well as the landscape itself, full of pine/trees and snow. The snow reflects the rich array of colours in the sky in a soft, subtle way.
- Film photographer
