SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Washingtoner -- Muench Workshops, renowned for its transformative photography workshops in some of the most breathtaking locations worldwide, is pleased to announce the addition of two new partners to its leadership team: Sara Linssen and Luke Dray.

A Fond Farewell to Andy Williams
After nearly 18 years of dedicated service, Andy Williams, a founding partner of Muench Workshops, has decided to retire from day-to-day operations as of December 31, 2024.

That chance meeting led to a long and fruitful partnership that saw the company grow from a small operation to one of the leading providers of photography workshops worldwide.
"I've had the privilege of working with incredible people, and the relationships we've built with both our team and clients have enriched my life in ways I never expected," said Andy. "While I'm retiring from the day-to-day, I'm excited to continue leading a few workshops through October 2025.
