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 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.

Selected TV interviews, news coverage, published interviews, and editorial work may be found through the links at the top of this page.

Products and Concierge Services

Complimentary In-Home Consultations allow you to see his artwork firsthand, with optional digital mockups. David is best known for his Silver Halide photographic works, hand-processed in traditional wet baths and fused beneath museum-grade acrylic. Bridging the heritage of classic darkroom craftsmanship with leading-edge photographic technology, each piece is hand-signed and numbered. Metal Prints, Canvas Wraps (framed or unframed), and Archival Loose Prints on fine-art media are also offered.

Direct Order:

There is no online cart, as each order is handled directly by David, from printing through final inspection. To acquire 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.

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 is required—holding steady, facing into the wind, 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 t reveals the branches are bare, with limbs stretching skyward toward the rising sun, shimmering like a bronze lace—a quiet meditation on letting go, renewal, and new beginnings.

Wildlife:

David’s wildlife photography captures 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.

Truth in PhotographyDavid’s photographic art celebrates real places, real light, and real moments.

• No AI-generated images and no fabricated composites combining landscapes from multiple locations. Be an informed consumer, and ask before buying.

• Every photograph is personally conceived, captured, and realized by David, ensuring full authorship and authenticity.

• No hired guides, scouts, or paid access are used to stage scenes or put him in front of wildlife encounters; instead, he works alone and proudly claims full authorship and accountability for every image created. As a lifelong woodsman and naturalist, he enjoys the research and adventure going afield alone for lens work.

• David’s work is rooted in Straight Photography—images presented largely as seen in the field, with adjustments limited to color, tone, and print preparation.

• Fine Art Photography allows for broader interpretive expression, including significant post-processing or the intentional construction of a scene beyond what was observed in the field and any image in this category will be identified in the respective galleries.
