🏔️ PARK CITY PHOTOGRAPHY LLC — Est. 2003
Award-Winning Landscape & Wildlife Photography
of Park City & The American West

Welcome!

My name is David Winegar, an Utah native and longtime resident of Park City. I have been fortunate to pursue my passion for creating and selling photographic art since founding Park City Photography LLC in 2003. Over the years, my work has received international recognition and has been selected by jurors for museum exhibitions.

Training and Credentials: Over the past 25 years, I have completed hundreds of photography classes, workshops, and continuing-education programs, and today I share that experience by offering photography instruction as part of my business. I am a 2015 graduate of the New York Institute of Photography, a member of the Professional Photographers of America and the Intermountain Professional Photographers Association, where I also serve on the Board of Directors.

Subject Matter. My art celebrates the landscapes and wildlife of Park City, Utah’s High Uintas and desert country, the Tetons, Yellowstone, and the greater American West. I also enjoy street photography and capturing the character and spontaneous moments of life unscripted.

Knowing a Place. I believe meaningful photographs come from truly knowing a place and its wildlife. I return to the same landscapes through changing seasons, weather, and light. With each visit, you discover new perspectives and learn how light and the elements within the frame work together. The result is an image not merely of a place, but about a place—with a story to tell. This includes wildlife photography, if one spends enough time afield to learn the movements, personalities and habits of animals.

More Than a Photograph. I love creating photographs with an artistry that makes the viewer pause and wonder whether they are looking at a photograph at all. For example, during a winter storm, I watched starlings take refuge in a tree against fierce winds. In Snowstorm Sheet Music, the birds resembled notes, the branches a musical staff, and a winter sky with snow the paper upon which nature writes its score. During arts shows buyers ask if photographic art is a painting and a fine art sketch.

Close to Home. Some of the photographs closest to my heart are made where I live in Park City. On my favorite trail Baby Moose on Rob’s Trail captures one of those local encounters, while Rob’s Trail Vista celebrates the landscape these animals call home. On of my most celebrated photographs is Leap of Faith featuring a Park City red fox exploding across McLeod Creek. The photograph received international First Place honors and is permanently exhibited at Park City’s Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter.

The Desert. I am in love with desert landscapes. I have made many pilgrimages to Mesa Arch, but recently found an ancient pinyon pine performing its own Balancing Act—twisted by wind, etched by sand, and anchored in stone at the cliff’s edge. While visitors from around the world gather to watch the celebrated sunrise, the quiet resilience of this little pinyon just out of sight goes unnoticed—a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful photograph is one just around the corner.

From Imagination to Fine Art. Sometimes a photograph begins long before I pick up a camera. Sovereign of the Storm began as an image in my mind: a Utah mountain goat standing resolute in a fierce winter storm, high on an exposed cliff face. I returned repeatedly to Utah’s high country, venturing into deep snow and winter storms in pursuit of that vision. After many trips—and a little luck—everything finally aligned. It remains one of my most cherished images.

Mirrors and Metaphors of Life. Nature often reflects something within us. An ancient tree speaks of resilience, changing seasons of time and renewal, and a solitary figure of independence or loneliness. My photographs invite you to look beyond the scenery—to the stories and emotions within it. To see not only the landscape before you, but perhaps discover a little of the landscape within you.

The Art of Presentation. I believe a finished fine-art piece is equal parts artistry and technical craftsmanship—both behind the camera and in its presentation. The creative process doesn’t end with the photograph. I carefully consider the surface that best complements each image—whether Exhibition Canvas, a traditional silver print, metal, or textured Hahnemühle German rag paper. The presentation should never overpower the photograph; it should complete it.

The Fine Art Experience. After years of representation in Park City galleries and interior design stores, I now enjoy working directly with collectors. I bring the gallery experience to your home or business, where we can consider photographs within your actual décor, scale, and lighting. I personally guide the process—from selecting images based on your vision, to exploring finishes that complement your space and available light, through the final installation.
