🏔️ 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 have devoted more than two decades to photographing the wildlife of Park City and the landscapes of the American West. Simply click any underlined photographic title to view a representative image of the topic being discussed.

Each photograph is the culmination of previsualization, passion, careful preparation, and years of technical and artistic study.

To truly understand a landscape, I return to special places again and again, learning its character through changing seasons, weather, and light while exploring new perspectives until all elements come together. Sometimes, images can be the result of serendipity. Chance favors the prepared photographer - Snowstorm Sheet Music.

Wildlife photography demands understanding the animal you want to photograph. Drawing on decades of field experience, I spend many hours hiking to locate an animal, then quietly observe its behavior over days, weeks, or even months without disturbing it. If I am lucky, I might capture a decisive moment - Baby Osprey, Waiting for Mother.

Another example is Leap of Faith, an internationally recognized photograph of a Park City red fox created after nearly a month of observation. I have been a Park City resident for almost 40 years, and I have a deep understanding of local area wildlife such as ‍Robs Trail Baby Moose, and landscapes When The Leaves Are Gone.

I use camera-based photography to create authentic images in an age where AI-generated imagery threatens photography. For more visit Transparency .

Whether photographing a Full Moon Rising over McPolin Barn, a Majestic Moose, (the legendary Bondurant Bull) in the Grand Tetons, or a Utah Mountain Goat Winters Watchman, every image is created through my craftsmanship with a camera in the field, and the finest production of art currently available. Explore my black and white photography portfolio, Balancing Act is just such an example. An image that was selected by jurors for the prestigious 2026 Springville Museum of Fine Art Salon 102.

My hope is that each photograph tells a story, celebrates your love of wilderness and wildlife, and the best award is your selection of my art for your home or business.

In 2025 I closed my gallery presence in Park City so I could work directly with you —rather than you working with a salesperson or gallery representative. Working directly with me, your artist, allows me to personally guide you in selecting the right image, presentation, size, and finish for your space.

Notice that I do not use carts or online checkouts. Along the way, I'll share the story behind the photograph and the journey that made it possible. Every artwork is custom made for you, and personally overseen by me, from your vision through final installation.

Thank you for visiting Park City Photography.

I invite you to explore the galleries and discover the images that have inspired my life's work.

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.
