Park City Fine Art Photography
Award Winning Photographic Art
Welcome!
The Images
I’m David Winegar, a fine art photographer creating imagery that enriches the spaces where you live and work. I specialize in the visual stories behind landscapes and wildlife, capturing rare moments when subject, composition, and light align in perfect harmony. I’m also inspired by the unscripted moments of street life and the visual poetry of abstraction—authentic scenes experienced through the lens, never generated by a computer.
Art Products
I create hand-signed, limited-edition artwork, ready to hang and crafted in collaboration with master printmakers to ensure museum-quality results. In addition to archival inkjet prints, I offer exquisite Silver Halide photographs—hand-developed in traditional wet baths and mounted beneath museum-grade acrylic—offering a luminous, immersive look distinct from inkjets. Two of my Silver Prints have been juried into prestigious museum exhibitions. I also produce dye-sublimation metal prints, exhibition-quality canvas wraps, and loose prints, on traditional and artistic media, providing a range of aesthetics and price points to suit any space.
“All good things… come by grace, and grace comes by art, and art does not come easy.”
— Norman Maclean, —”A River Runs Through It”
Wildlife Examples
A red fox explodes off the river bank of McLeod Creek, swollen with spring runoff, and returning home with dinner for her pups. After many days of quiet observation, careful not to disturb her rhythm, I captured this fleeting moment at the peak of action.
“All good things are wild and free.”
— Henry David Thoreau
Beneath this truth, my artwork stands as the Signature Art Piece at the Swaner Nature Preserve in Park City, Utah— a place where wildness is not only preserved, but deeply honored.

Bathed in golden evening light, a baby osprey rises in its nest, gazing into the setting sun—anxious for its mother’s return. This photographic moment came after many days of patient observation.
A tender moment —- A heartbeat of love —- A story in magical light.

Transitions of Time - Chapters of Change
In my landscape photography, I always strive to capture both emotion and the story—exploring amazing light, unique subject matter, and a strong composition, and to elicit the questions…
Where is this? — What’s the story? —- How did he capture that moment?
Landscape Examples
Chapters of Change
La Sal Mountains, Utah – Warner Lake
A winter storm had passed through Eastern Utah overnight. Rising well before first light, I was four-wheeling into the La Sal Mountains through forest snow to 9,400 feet for a magical moment.
At dawn, I found what I was hoping for: fresh snow resting softly on golden and green aspen leaves—a quiet, fleeting moment where autumn and winter touched, gently and without a sound.
One season closed, another began.

Selected for the Springville Museum of Art – Salon 100 (2024)
Transitions of Time
East Canyon, Utah
With winter approaching and the winds of recent weeks having stripped the trees bare, I rose early to await first light. From a high ridge above East Canyon, I watched as the sun’s first rays touched a stand of aspens—now leafless, their bronze branches reaching skyward. Below, the forest floor lay quietly blanketed in fallen gold.
In that stillness, a moment of transition—where autumn ends, and winter begins.
A turning page in time —nature’s rhythms.

Influencers
John Muir – Father of Our National Parks
"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 off like autumn leaves."
— John Muir, 1901

Therapeutic Benefits of Art
Studies show that experiencing art can lower stress, boost dopamine, and awaken parts of the brain tied to emotion and healing. Since we can’t always be outdoors, my work offers a way to bring nature’s calm and beauty inside.

Truth in Photography
My work shows real places, real light, and real moments—just as I saw them.
I use simple edits like dodging, burning, and color correction.
I don’t use AI prompts to create scenes that didn’t happen.
Rarely, I’ll make a composite—but only from my own photos, and always clearly labeled.
I believe in honesty. If you're buying art, you deserve to know how it was made.

Final Thoughts
Art has the power to stir memory, emotion, and wonder—to turn a space into something deeply personal.
If one of my images speaks to you, it’s not by chance—it’s because it connects with something you’ve felt, loved, or lived. I have always felt the in addition to the art, you must also feel a connection to the Artist.
If you find a scene that strikes a chord in your heart, or a place that hold special meaning — I would be honored to have my Art become part of your home or business—something meaningful, lasting, and beautifully yours. My art is great for gifts as well.
