🏔️ PARK CITY PHOTOGRAPHY LLC — Est. 2003
Award-Winning Landscape & Wildlife Photography
of Park City & The American West
Welcome!
My name David Winegar, an Utah native and Park City resident. I have been creating photographic art as Park City Photography LLC since 2003.
Subject Matter. My photography celebrates the wildlife and landscapes of Park City, the desert Southwest, the High Uintas, Tetons, and Yellowstone, along with unscripted moments of street life. Explore my art and philosophy, with underlined quick links to selected photographs that illustrate each story.
Knowing a Place. Meaningful photographs begin with knowing a landscape and its wildlife. I return time and again, through changing seasons and light, seeking the decisive moment when a place reveals its story. My goal is to create images that evoke emotion—not simply photographs of a place, but photographs about a place. In nature, I find mirrors and metaphors of our own lives. With each image, I provide a comment about my feelings when I took the photograph.
Photographic Art. Creating an award-winning art piece goes beyond the image. I spend just as much time selecting fine-art materials to support the image’s emotion, texture, and mood. For example, in Snowstorm Sheet Music, I have selected a Hahnemühle cotton rag paper with a texture and look of a real snowstorm.
Close to Home. Few places inspire me more than the wildlife and landscapes of Park City, a place I’ve called home for over 36 years. Robs Trail Baby Moose celebrates our wildlife, while Rob’s Trail Vista celebrates the landscape itself. Among my most acclaimed images is Leap of Faith which captures a Park City red fox leaping across McLeod Creek along Old Ranch Road. An International First Place Wildlife winner, showcased and permanently exhibited at Park City’s Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter.
The Desert. I have a deep love for the desert Southwest. My photograph Balancing Act captures a solitary Utah pinyon pine clinging to a cliff’s edge on a frigid February morning in Canyonlands National Park. To me, it reflects the resilience of life—the determination to remain rooted in our principles and hold fast to things we hold dear. I offer private instruction in photography. As an example, I created and lectured at the Moab Landscape Photography Retreat during March of 2026.
Pre-Visualization. Often, I envision a photograph long before picking up my camera. Sovereign of the Storm began with a vision of a mountain goat enduring a fierce winter blizzard on a cliff above 11,000 feet. Through persistence, years of outdoor experience, repeated journeys into winter storms, and a lot of luck, I brought that vision to life. More often, these visions end with long days afield, hundreds of miles traveled, and a journey home empty-handed. But in this circumstance, a career defining moment.
Mirrors and Metaphors of Life. Season in nature, are reflections of our own lives. First Snow on Fall Leaves — La Sal Range marks autumn’s passage into winter, while When the Leaves Are Gone — East Canyon Sunrise reveals the next chapter. New beginnings, marriage, raising children, and the bittersweet joy of watching them leave home. My image titled Departure, captures my inner feeling of starting new journeys, and life’s chapters yet unwritten.
Bridging Tradition and Technology. I’d love to show you my large format silver-based prints, hand-developed through traditional wet chemistry—bridging the finest traditions of dark room hand processing with modern technology. I also offer exhibition canvas wraps with or without premium frames, metal art on aluminum, and loose prints on artistic papers from all over the world. I hope that my scenes inspires a connection not only to the landscape before you— but the landscape within you.
Let Me Bring the Gallery to You. I bring the gallery experience to your home or business—complimentary and without obligation. See art exhibited in juried museum exhibitions, explore exquisite fine-art finishes, and discover how each finish looks under your own lighting. Without storefront overhead or gallery commissions, your investment goes entirely into the art itself. I assist you in finding the perfect piece for your space, to include installation and even offer simple lighting enhancements.
News and Media. For television features, newspaper articles, and interviews about my photography, click the social media icons in the header at the top of this page.
Photography as a Witness. Whether or not you invest in my art, I hope my photographs inspire a deeper appreciation for the extraordinary wild places we share—and a desire to preserve them for generations to come. For what we love, we must protect.

Snowstorm Sheet Music
2026 International Photographic Competition — Bronze Medal
Wanship, Utah
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.
First Snow on Fall Leaves

La Sal Range, Utah
The season’s first snowstorm arrives overnight, and dawn reveals brilliant gold and green leaves crowned with fresh snow. A quiet marker of nature’s rhythms and the passage of time.
