🏔️ PARK CITY PHOTOGRAPHY LLC — Est. 2003
Award-Winning Landscape & Wildlife Photography
of Park City & The American West
Welcome!
I’m David Winegar, a Utah native and longtime Park City resident. Since 2003, fine-art photography has been my passion and obsession, capturing the beauty and wild spirit of the American West through award-winning, internationally recognized photographic art.
In an age of artificial intelligence, my work remains rooted in authentic, camera-based photography—real moments captured by me, see Transparency for more.
Products: I offer museum-quality silver-halide prints beneath acrylic, fine-art canvas, aluminum, and archival papers from around the world. Working directly with you ensures personal service, exceptional craftsmanship, and more of your hard-earned money invested in art—not storefront overhead, designer fees, or gallery commissions.
Knowing the Artist, Knowing the Art
Beyond the Image: Every photograph has a story. I share the inspiration, adventure, and discovery behind each image so you can experience not only what I saw, but what I felt. My collectors tell me that knowing the artist personally and the story behind their artwork creates a deeper connection and lasting value.
A Deeper Understanding: Nature draws me back to discover its rhythms through changing seasons, weather, and light. With each visit, I find new perspectives and fleeting moments that reveal my subject’s character. My goal is to create art that evokes emotion and tells a story—not simply a photograph of a place, but about a place.
Close to Home. The landscapes and wildlife of Park City hold special meaning for those who call this place home. For example, my photograph Leap of Faith, capturing a red fox leaping across McLeod Creek, earned international recognition with First Place in Wildlife and is permanently exhibited at Park City's Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter.
Desert Landscapes. I have a deep love and reverence for the desert Southwest, its timeless antiquity and deafening silence. My photograph Balancing Act showcases a solitary pinyon pine clinging to a cliff's edge. To me, it symbolizes resilience—weathering life's storms while remaining firmly rooted in our values, and what we hold dear.
Pre-Visualization. Most of my photographs begin a scene in my imagination, long before I pick up a camera. One night I envisioned a mountain goat enduring a fierce winter blizzard on a remote cliff—a scene I had never seen photographed. Capturing it meant venturing above 11,000 feet into steep, dangerous terrain, deep snow, and severe weather. The result was a rare, extraordinary moment and one of my most cherished and celebrated photographs, Sovereign of the Storm.
Mirrors and Metaphors of Life. To my eye— and directly to my emotions and spiritually, changing seasons reflect the passage of time and the chapters of our own lives. First Snow on Fall Leaves — La Sal Range marks autumn's passage into winter, while When the Leaves Are Gone reveals the beauty of life's next chapter.
The Art & Presentation
The Art of Presentation. Fine-art photography deserves a presentation that reflects the character and emotion of the scene itself. I carefully select materials, textures, and finishes for each and every scene. For example, Snowstorm Sheet Music, often mistaken for a hand-drawn sketch, and because of this I selected a textured German Hahnemühle cotton rag paper. Its natural white tone and texture echoes the softness of falling snow.
Connections
As you wander through my galleries, I invite you to discover what speaks to your journey, your heart, and your spirit—not only in the landscape before you,
but in the landscape within you.
Your Home Is the Gallery
Specializing in large-format photographic art, I offer complimentary, no-obligation in-home consultations to explore artwork, finishes, sizing, framing, and lighting. Working directly with collectors eliminates gallery commissions and storefront markups while providing a more personal experience. From selection through delivery and professional installation, I personally oversee every detail. No shopping carts or checkout—just personal service from the artist. I would be delighted to share examples of my work installed in some of the area's finest homes and businesses.
I would be delighted to bring the gallery to you. Please contact me with your interest at:

Snowstorm Sheet Music
2026 International Photographic Competition — Bronze Medal

As a winter storm sweeps across the landscape, a flock of starlings takes refuge in a tree. Facing into the wind and snow, they hold fast with quiet resilience—in life we will face our own storms. Hold fast and have faith.
