Welcome!
My name is David Winegar, and I create photographic art designed to elevate the spaces where you live and work. My work centers on landscapes and wildlife—capturing moments where composition and light align perfectly, and where animals are frozen in peak action or decisive, fleeting moments.
In addition to nature, I’m drawn to street photography and abstract imagery—but always grounded in straight photography. These abstract works aren’t digital manipulations—they’re real-world scenes that appear dreamlike or surreal through natures light, texture, and design.
My clients often tell me they find deeper value in the story behind each photograph. Whether it’s wildlife moments like “Ridgeline Ruckus,” where two wild stallions battle for dominance in the remote Colorado badlands, or “Leap of Faith,” an international award-winning image of a Park City red fox leaping across the spring-swollen McLeod Creek with dinner for its pups—each tells a unique story.
Even my landscape images carry a narrative. “When the Leaves Are Gone – East Canyon Sunrise” captures the quiet of an aspen grove stripped bare as winter approaches, while “First Snow on Fall Leaves – La Sal Range” marks the changing seasons as early snow settles on vibrant autumn foliage.
Storytelling is at the heart of my photography.

John Muir
I believe deeply in John Muir’s wisdom—that wild, open spaces are essential to our health, peace of mind, and well-being. Today, unchecked development continues to threaten wildlife migration corridors and wintering grounds, destroying our wildlife and paving over our wild places.
Get Outside!
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.”
by John Muir, founder of the Sierra Club and Father of Our National Parks:
Therapeutic Benefits of Art
Scientific studies show that viewing or creating art can lower stress and boost feel-good chemicals like dopamine. Art activates areas of the brain linked to emotion and mental health, helping to improve mood and ease anxiety. Since we can’t always be outside, my work offers a way to bring the outdoors in—a daily reminder of nature’s peace and beauty.
Art That Meets The Standards Of Curators, Judges and Collectors. I’ve competed at the Professional level since 2007.
For the past two years, I’ve been honored to have been selected for the Springville Museum of Art’s - Spring Salon, one of the longest-running and most competitive juried exhibitions in the country. Now in its 101st year, the Salon has featured legends like Georgia O’Keeffe, Norman Rockwell, Maynard Dixon, and even Walt Disney. While I don’t claim to be at their level, I’m truly grateful to have my work displayed alongside such iconic names.

Buyer Beware
Not every photo today shows what was really in front of the camera. With AI and heavy editing, many images don’t reflect the scene the camera took—often without saying so. This misleads buyers and hurts photographers like me who value honesty.
Most of my work follows Straight Photography—real moments, real places, and natural light, just as I saw them.
On occasion, I create other genres of Photography, and those are clearly marked on my website.
I’m not against creative tools, but you deserve to know what you’re buying. Truth and transparency matter—especially when you're investing in art.

Ancient Bristlecone Pine
The gnarled, sculpted trees found in the heights of western U.S. mountains are among the oldest living organisms on Earth and are a favorite subject of mine. My most cherished Bristlecone has stood on a cliff overlooking Dead Horse Basin for over 1,000 years. I have photographed this tree no less than twelve times over three years, capturing its beauty in all seasons. In this particular scene, it is 3 A.M. on a cold January night, for a final "selfie," joining the vastness of both space and time. With no moon in the sky, a long exposure reveals the millions of stars that aren't visible to the naked eye.
Leap of Faith
The image above took First Place in "Wildlife" at the prestigious Art Wolfe International Photography Competition. After weeks of observation, I captured this Red Fox (Park City, Utah), exploding over McCleod Creek with two Uintah Ground Squirrels in her mouth. The creek was overflowing its banks during heavy spring runoff and the fox landed safely on the far shore.
Winter Dreams- Utah Wild Mustangs
Two white Mustangs stand like frozen statues in an eternal sleep, enduring a brutal winter in the badlands of Utah. Capturing this scene requires challenging photography in deep snow, as I navigate the vast West Desert of Utah in a four-wheel drive vehicle and snowshoe my way to the wild Mustangs.

Full Moon Rising Over McPolin Barn
In the fall of 2020, Saturn was prominently visible in the southwest sky during its conjunction with Jupiter, coinciding with the rising of a full moon. The iconic "White Barn" is the most recognized landmark in Park City. This scene features rich dark tones and a striking moonrise, captured using two exposures with different lenses to create a composite image for an artistic expression. My goal was to evoke a sense of magical serenity and peacefulness.

When The Leaves Are Gone - East Canyon Sunrise
It was late fall when I arrived at the saddle of East Canyon, where the breathtaking aspens were illuminated by the early morning light. The large stand of aspens on the north face showcased a stunning bronze pattern that resembled intricate lace. This image received a "Superior" rating in the Intermountain Professional Photographers Competition in 2022 and was one of four photographs that earned me the title of “Photographer of the Year” from the Intermountain Professional Photographers Association.
