🏔️ 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 decisive moment worth preserving.

What follows is a little about my approach to photography. Simply click on any underlined title to view examples of my art work.

Sometimes images appear out of nowhere and favor the prepared camera Snowstorm Sheet Music, a scene lasting only seconds. Other images begin with knowing a place and pre-visualizing the scene. After an overnight snowfall in the La Sal Mountains, and four-wheeling 5,000 feet up into Warner Lake (Moab Utah)—where Utah's autumn colors were still at their peak, I encountered First Snow on Fall Leaves - La Sal Range.

On another cold November morning, the winds had stripped the aspens bare in East Canyon near Park City, revealing the quiet simplicity of When The Leaves Are Gone. On the other hand, wildlife photography begins with understanding an animal's habits, respecting its space, and awaiting the peak of action to unfold in beautiful light. That approach led to photographs Baby Osprey – Waiting for Mother‍ ‍and Leap of Faith, a Park City red fox exploding off a river bank on McLeod Creek (Old Ranch Road).

I have always been drawn to the magic and serenity of night photography. Full Moon Rising over McPolin Barn, McPolin Milky Way, and McPolin Starry Starry Night are the result of returning to this iconic landmark over many nights and many years. Likewise, I love the hard work of summiting local peaks and getting images like no other in search of Mountain Goats Sovereign of the Storm and Into Thin Air.

All of my photographic art is created by me in the field with a camera. For more on understanding real photography versus AI generated images visit my Transparency page.

In 2025, I transitioned from Park City gallery representation to working directly with my clients. No salesperson 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 workspace.

n closing, I am drawn to moments when a story is unfolding. Sometimes that story belongs to the landscape, sometimes to the wildlife, but for me, every photograph becomes a metaphor for our own journey through life.

Thank you for visiting Park City Photography.

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.
