🏔️ PARK CITY PHOTOGRAPHY LLC — Est. 2003

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 nearly three decades spent capturing the mountains, wildlife, and seasonal rhythms of the American West. His photography is deeply rooted in Park City and the nearby Uinta Mountain Wilderness, with enduring connections to the Tetons, Yellowstone, and the desert landscapes of Moab, Utah. Alongside his landscape and wildlife work, he also explores street photography—quiet, observational moments of human life. If his approach resonates with you, it is often because it reflects something you have lived, loved, or remembered.

Products and Concierge Services

David is best known for his silver-halide photographic works, hand-processed in traditional wet baths and fused beneath museum-grade acrylic, blending the heritage of classic darkroom craftsmanship with leading-edge photographic technology. Finished pieces are offered as ready-to-hang Signature Series - Limited Editions. Complimentary in-home consultations invite collectors to experience finished artwork firsthand through tactile samples or receive digital mockups of subject spaces. Metal prints, exhibition canvas wraps (with or without framing), and archival loose prints on fine-art media are also available.

Direct Order:

There is no online cart, as each order is handled directly by David, from printing through final inspection. To collect a piece, simply reach out with the image, size, and material that speaks to you. Finished works are produced through trusted labs with long-standing relationships, or crafted personally by David.

Art as Metaphors for 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.

The story then shifts in Snowstorm Sheet Music. A winter storm sweeps into Wanship, Utah, forcing starlings to take refuge in a tree and face directly into the wind. Their snow-covered forms mirror moments in our own lives when endurance is required—holding steady, finding strength, and trusting that the storm will pass.

When the Leaves Are Gone takes place in East Canyon, Utah. An overnight November wind has stripped the aspens bare. At first light, the air is dead calm—branches stretch skyward toward the rising sun, shimmering like bronze lace—a quiet meditation on letting go, renewal, and new beginnings.

Wildlife:

David’s wildlife photography captures peak action and decisive moments, revealing both instinct and emotion 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 pausing at sunrise on a cliff east of Park City in the Uinta Mountains—a rare, suspended moment that echoes our own need to be still amid life’s chaos, to breathe, and to truly inhabit the present.

Baby Osprey Waiting for Mother reveals quiet anticipation as a young bird waits 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.
