Park City & The American West

Formatted for Desktop computers

About. For more than three decades, internationally recognized fine art photographer David Winegar has explored the wild places of Park City, Utah, and the American West, pursuing fleeting moments when light, landscape, wildlife, and atmosphere come together in extraordinary ways.

Truth and Transparency. Every image displayed here was captured by David with a camera. AI is never used to create subjects, elements, or moments that did not exist.

In Pursuit of the Extraordinary. David’s work is rooted in fieldcraft and a deep command of photography. He goes where few are willing to venture and endures the conditions required to capture extraordinary moments. That may mean mountaineering to 12,000 feet in a winter storm in search of Mountain Goats, or arriving hours before dawn for first light at Mesa Arch. His images are filled with emotion and wonder. They invite viewers not simply to see, but to feel what it was like to be there!

Museum-Quality Art. David’s finished work has been selected by professional jurors and museum curators for juried exhibitions. That same fine art is available directly to collectors in small, hand-signed and numbered limited editions—bringing the beauty and spirit of the American West from the museum wall into your home.

Background & Education. A Utah native, David has operated Park City Photography since 2003 and is a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography. He is a decades long member of the Professional Photographers of America and the Intermountain Professional Photographers Association, where he serves on the Board of Directors.

The Photographic Art. David personally prints his fine-art paper images and hand-cuts archival mats using premium materials from leading makers around the world. For his most immersive, museum-quality presentation, he offers large-format Chromogenic Silver Prints, traditionally processed on Fujiflex® photographic paper and protected beneath museum acrylic. Other presentations include ChromaLuxe® aluminum, renowned for brilliant color and clarity, exhibition canvas, and archival fine-art paper.

Educator. David mentors photographers through private tutoring, field instruction, workshops, and lectures. With bases in Park City and Moab, he teaches alpine, desert landscape, and wildlife photography. He created and hosted the three-day 2026 Moab Photography Retreat, combining field instruction with a lecture on landscape photography. In Park City, David has taught The Art of Photography through classroom and field instruction, including lectures at the Park City Library.

Fieldcraft. David’s connection to wild places extends far beyond photography. A lifelong outdoorsman, he spent years guiding and teaching outdoor skills and fly fishing for Jans Mountain Outfitters and Local Waters out of Huntsville Utah. He started his own business, Royal Wulff Flyfishing & Guide Service. A graduate of the U.S. Air Force SERE School (Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape), he brings decades of field experience, which helps him anticipate and capture moments others might never see.

Giving Back. David proudly supports The Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. He is a Life Member of Trout Unlimited and also supports Bridge 21, the American Cancer Society, and Huntsman Cancer Institute.

Photography as a Witness. David believes that Photography can bear witness to what remains—and remind us what is at stake if it not protected from unrestrained development. David’s work celebrates wilderness and wild places, with a simple message: what we love, we must protect.

Art As Visual Metaphors of Life - Examples

If his images make your heart race, its 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 natures rhythms 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.
