🏔️ PARK CITY PHOTOGRAPHY LLC — Est. 2003
Award-Winning Landscape & Wildlife Photography

Park City & The American West

Welcome!

My name is David Winegar. I am an award-winning landscape and wildlife photographer based in Park City, Utah, and I have been doing business as Park City Photography LLC since 2003. I create museum-quality, ready-to-hang artwork which I personally hand-sign and released in small series of limited editions.

My work is rooted in traditional “straight” photography and grounded in documentary-realism, as explained under the Transparency tab. Each image begins with an artistic vision—pre-visualized—then followed by research and careful planning to capture a compelling and authentic scene. More often than not, this requires returning again and again—studying the land, the light, and the subject.

For wildlife, this means scouting, hiking, locating the animal, and learning its behavior—waiting for the right moment, perspective, and light. For landscapes, it involves extensive planning, time in the field, and revisiting a scene across changing conditions, seasons, light and a dramatic or interesting sky.

In my photography, I try to build a relationship with the scene and learn its seasons its light and its wildlife and landforms… and what story might be unfolding.

I feel a deep connection to wilderness and wildlife. It’s where I find clarity and perspective, and where I feel most connected to the natural world. In these moments, I’m reminded that all living things are equal. I’m not separate from nature—I’m part of it. Out here, man is often not always the apex predator.

“I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.”
—John Muir

My photographic art has been showcased in some of Park City’s finest interior and design storefronts. That said, I always missed the opportunity to meet the stores clients where I could talk to them about my work, and thank them for their support. Salespeople didn’t have the knowledge of the artist to guide clients and answer questions.

I’ve decided to work directly with clients via private consultations (free) and through art shows. That results in personal service from the heart regarding your vision, what moves you emotionally, lighting, textures, and a coordinated overall design. I can also create digital mockups so you can see the final piece before it’s produced.

I’ve found that clients especially value the story behind each image—what it took to create it and what I experienced during my research and observations up to the moment the shutter was released. What naturally follows was a greater appreciation for their investment in my art.

Art As Visual Metaphors of Life

My work serves as a visual metaphor for the human experience. Recurring themes throughout my landscape and wildlife imagery include resilience, courage, relationships, and the seasonal markers that quietly define the passage of time.

If you find an emotional connection with his work, it is often because it reflects something deeply personal—something you might have lived, or loved.

Examples based on the images below:

“First Snow on Fall Leaves – La Sal Range” (near Moab, Utah)
At dawn, winter’s first snowfall settles like frosting upon autumn’s fading leaves—a quiet moment suspended between seasons where endings and beginnings coexist, and where one client found a deeply personal connection to the season of life when children grow up and leave home.

“Snowstorm Sheet Music” (Wanship, Utah)
A winter gust front drives a flock of starlings onto bare limbs, where they turn to face the storm—snow and ice covering their tiny bodies. They cling and sway in the wind, holding fast with quiet resilience, fortitude, and courage, trusting the storm will pass. In much the same way, we endure life’s trials and triumphs—hold fast, and have faith.

“When The Leaves Are Gone” (East Canyon, Utah)
At first light in East Canyon, the season’s first overnight windstorm has stripped the aspens bare, their leaves surrendered to the ground. First light reveals white trunks and bronze branches like delicate lace reaching toward the sky—another chapter in time, as the quiet passage of autumn yields to winter’s embrace.

Authentic Fieldcraft Commitment

David has never paid or hired a company or guide to place him at a scene or in front of wildlife.

• No game farms.

• No animals in captivity.

• Every wildlife encounter was earned the old-fashioned way — through hiking, glassing, patience, and years of fieldcraft.

• No AI-generated images in part or in whole. Minor removal of distractions I find acceptable.

• Transparency Pledge - found by clicking on it in the header of this page

• No fabricated or multi-location composites. Example: A lake from one location placed in front of a towering peak, which never existed.

• No baiting of birds or mammals.

• I have never used or paid for a photography guide to stage a scene.
