🏔️ PARK CITY PHOTOGRAPHY LLC — Est. 2003
Award-Winning Landscape & Wildlife Photography

Park City & The American West

Welcome!

Welcome

My name is David Winegar. I am an award-winning landscape and wildlife photographer based in Park City, Utah, and I have been doing business as Park City Photography LLC since 2003. I create museum-quality, ready-to-hang artwork—hand-signed and released in limited editions. My work includes unique Chromogenic (Silver Halide) prints produced in large formats on real photographic paper and hand-processed in traditional wet baths. I also offer premium aluminum metal prints, canvas wraps with optional framing, and loose prints. I make many of the loose prints myself with an array of very unique and artistic media.

My work is rooted in traditional “straight” photography and grounded in documentary realism (see Transparency). Each image begins with an artistic vision shaped by an active imagination, then evolves through careful research and repeated time in the field. I return again and again—studying the land, the light, and my subject, whether it’s wildlife behavior or the shifting character of a magnificent landscape across seasons and times of day, and always seeking dramatic skies and weather.

In my photography, I seek more than a record of a moment. I try to look deeper—into what I am feeling and the story unfolding within the scene. I am deeply passionate about the feeling I get when I am in the wilderness and among wildlife and the introspection that occurs.

"I only went out for a walk, and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in." John Muir (Father of our National Parks).

My photographic art has been showcased in some of Park City’s fine interior and design storefronts, but I always regretted not having the opportunity to meet those who chose my work, and to personally thank them. I wanted something more personal—for both myself and my clients.

Today, I work exclusively one-on-one. I enjoy hearing your vision and guiding you in selecting the right image, size, medium, and finish for your space. I can personally visit your home or business to evaluate the lighting, textures, and overall style, and I can create digital mockups so you can see exactly how a piece will look before it’s produced.

I’ve found my clients especially value the story behind each image—what it took to create it and what I experienced during the moment the shutter was released. That connection was never possible through a storefront. When you understand what an image is about, not just what it is, a deeper connection to the work emerges.

This business model has been deeply rewarding. Some clients have become familiar faces I see around town, and in many cases, friends. It has become far more meaningful than a sale to someone I would never meet. My home or business visits are done free of charge, or you can just send me an image of your subject space and vision and let me go to work!

Art As Visual Metaphors of Life

My work serves as a visual metaphor for the human experience. Recurring themes throughout my landscape and wildlife imagery include resilience, courage, relationships, and the seasonal markers that quietly define the passage of time.

If you find an emotional connection with his work, it is often because it reflects something deeply personal—something you might have lived, or loved.

Examples:

“First Snow on Fall Leaves – La Sal Range” (near Moab, Utah)
At dawn, winter’s first snowfall settles like frosting upon autumn’s fading leaves—a quiet moment suspended between seasons where endings and beginnings coexist, and where one client found a deeply personal connection to the season of life when children grow up and leave home.

“Snowstorm Sheet Music” (Wanship, Utah)
A winter gust front drives a flock of starlings onto bare limbs, where they turn to face the storm—snow and ice covering their tiny bodies. They cling and sway in the wind, holding fast with quiet resilience, fortitude, and courage, trusting the storm will pass. In much the same way, we endure life’s trials and triumphs—hold fast, and have faith.

“When The Leaves Are Gone” (East Canyon, Utah)
At first light in East Canyon, the season’s first overnight windstorm has stripped the aspens bare, their leaves surrendered to the ground. First light reveals white trunks and bronze branches like delicate lace reaching toward the sky—another chapter in time, as the quiet passage of autumn yields to winter’s embrace.
