Photographic Art of Park City and the American West

Introduction:

David Winegar is a Utah native and Park City–based photographer whose award-winning work reflects over two decades spent capturing the landscapes, wildlife, and seasonal rhythms of the American West. His photography is deeply rooted in Park City and the nearby Uinta Mountains, with enduring connections to the Tetons, Yellowstone, and the desert landscapes of Moab, Utah. He also explores street photography—quiet, unscripted moments of human life. If his photographic art resonates with you, it is often because it reflects something you have lived or loved.

Complimentary In-Home Consultations allow you to see his artwork firsthand, with optional digital mockups. David is best known for his Silver Halide large format prints, hand-processed in traditional wet baths and fused beneath museum-grade acrylic.

David also offers Metal Prints, Canvas Wraps (framed or unframed), and Archival Loose Prints on fine-art media.

Art as Metaphors of Life

Landscapes:

First Snow on Fall Leaves begins at Warner Lake in Utah’s La Sal Range, where the season’s first snowfall gently crowns autumn leaves at first light—a quiet marker of life’s changing chapters.

In Snowstorm Sheet Music, a winter storm drives starlings to take refuge along bare branches, arranged like notes on a staff, each form blanketed in snow. The image reflects moments in our own lives when endurance and resilience is required—holding steady, and trusting that the storm will pass.

When the Leaves Are Gone takes place in East Canyon, Utah. November winds have stripped the aspens bare of leaves. The first light of day reveals the branches are bare, with limbs stretching skyward, shimmering like bronze lace—a quiet meditation on letting go, renewal, and new beginnings.

Wildlife:

David’s wildlife photography captures the “peak action” and “decisive moments” in the natural world.

Leap of Faith depicts a red fox exploding from the banks of McLeod Creek along Old Ranch Road in Park City, racing home with the “catch of the day” for her pups—a fleeting moment of purpose and devotion.

Into Thin Air features a mountain goat at sunrise in the Uinta Mountains Wilderness—moments that reminds us to pause, and fully enjoy special moments amid life’s constant motion.

Baby Osprey Waiting for Mother reveals quiet anticipation as a baby Osprey waits in its nest above the Jordanelle Reservoir for its mother’s return—a tender reflection of patience and the universal longing of a child for its mother, or anyone missing a loved one.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.”
― John Muir, the father of our national parks.
