🏔️ PARK CITY PHOTOGRAPHY LLC — Est. 2003

Award-Winning Landscape & Wildlife Photography

Park City & The American West

Welcome!

My name is David Winegar, owner of Park City Photography LLC.

As a Utah native, I've spent more than two decades photographing the wildlife of Park City and the landscapes of the American West. Every photograph begins with research and careful preparation, followed by time spent learning a place—how the light moves across the land, where wildlife travels, and how the changing seasons transform the landscape, whether through brilliant autumn colors or a fresh blanket of snow until everything comes together in a finished work of art.

My juried museum works are hand-crafted Chromogenic silver-halide prints, laser-exposed onto traditional Fuji Flex photographic paper and individually developed using classic RA-4 wet photographic chemistry. Exhibition canvas, ChromaLuxe aluminum metal prints, and loose prints are also available, for a variety of price points and looks to complement the space where it will live. All finished artwork is offered as hand-signed, numbered limited editions in small quantities.

In 2026, I received an International Bronze Medal for Snowstorm Sheet Music, an unplanned moment that lasted only seconds. Other photographs begin with knowing a place and pre-visualizing a scene. After a day of photographing autumn color in Utah's La Sal Mountains, the season's first snowfall was forecast for that night. I returned to Warner Lake near Moab the following morning, where fresh snow and frost transformed the golden aspens into First Snow on Fall Leaves – La Sal Range.

Likewise, I discovered a beautiful stand of aspens on the north face of East Canyon near Park City. Overnight, autumn winds stripped the trees bare. I returned the following morning at sunrise, when warm bronze light revealed the intricate lacework of their branches, creating When The Leaves Are Gone.

Wildlife photography, by contrast, requires understanding an animal's habits, respecting its space, and waiting patiently for the decisive moment to unfold in beautiful light. That approach led to Baby Osprey – Waiting for Mother‍ ‍and Leap of Faith, a Park City red fox exploding off the riverbank of McLeod Creek along Old Ranch Road.

I have always been drawn to the magic and serenity of night photography. Full Moon Rising over McPolin Barn and McPolin Milky Way are just such examples. Each was the culmination of returning to this iconic landmark over many nights, gradually resolving what had first existed only in my mind's eye.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, I love the challenge of summiting local peaks, scrambling over rock, and occasionally spending the night above 11,000 feet to photograph mountain goats in a snowstorm or at sunrise. Sovereign of the Storm and Into Thin Air are the result of those adventures.

All of my photographs are created in the field with a camera. For more on truth in photography and my position on AI-generated imagery, please visit Transparency.

In 2025, I transitioned from Park City gallery representation to working directly with my clients. No one knows a photograph better than the photographer who created it. I provide guidance on presentation, finish, framing, lighting, and professional installation to create gallery-quality artwork for your home or business.

For more than twenty years, it has been my privilege to serve Park City and the surrounding communities with hand-signed, limited edition fine art inspired by the wildlife and landscapes we all cherish. My clients aren't simply customers—they often become neighbors and friends. If I can help you choose artwork, discuss presentation options, or simply share the story behind a photograph, I'd be delighted to hear from you.

Art As Visual Metaphors of Life - Examples

If his work often resonates with you, it might be something you have lived or loved

First Snow on Fall Leaves

The season's first snowstorm arrives overnight, and dawn unveils brilliant gold and crimson leaves lightly dusted with fresh snow. For just a few hours, autumn and winter share the landscape, creating a quiet reminder of nature's rhythm and the passage of time.

Snowstorm Sheet Music

As a winter gust front sweeps across the landscape in Wanship, Utah. This forces a flock of starlings takes refuge in a tree. They face into the storm as snow and ice pelt their tiny bodies, holding on with quiet resilience. Holding strong, their courage, faith, and endurance, storms we face will eventually pass.

When the Leaves Are Gone

At first light in East Canyon, an overnight windstorm has stripped the aspens bare, their fallen leaves carpeting the forest floor. Delicate bronze branches reach skyward like intricate lace, marking another chapter of natures transition from autumn to winter.
