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

Park City & The American West

Welcome

David Winegar is an award-winning landscape and wildlife photographer based in Park City, Utah, and owner of Park City Photography LLC, established in 2003.

He is known for creating museum-quality, ready-to-hang artwork—each piece personally hand-signed and released in small, limited-edition series. His work is designed not only to capture the natural world, but to elevate the spaces in which it is displayed. He also creates custom pieces tailored to each client’s vision.

David’s work is grounded in documentary realism (see Transparency). Most images begin with a pre-visualized vision, followed by careful research, planning, and repeated returns to a location—studying the land, light, and subject until the decisive moment reveals itself. His work is distinctive, emotionally resonant, and often serves as a metaphor for the chapters and journey of human life. His images are not simply of something—they are about something.

His work has been featured in leading Park City design showrooms, and he now works directly with clients through private consultations and juried exhibitions. Each project is thoughtfully developed based on the space, with digital renderings that allow clients to preview artwork in their environment prior to production.

David also shares the story behind each image—something clients deeply value as they select artwork for their homes. From summiting a 12,000-foot peak to photograph mountain goats (Into Thin Air), to more than 20 pilgrimages to the Lonely Pinyon Pine, he immerses himself in his subjects—studying them across seasons and conditions, from winter at dawn to nights beneath the stars, in moonlight, and during summer thunderstorms—refining composition, light, and vision over time.

In addition to his fine art work, David teaches The Art of Photography, helping photographers advance their craft. Instruction is offered in clients’ homes near Park City or at the local library. Regardless of the camera, David familiarizes himself with each system prior to your session.

Additional insight into his work can be found through radio, television, and news interviews, available via the links at the top of this website.

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 based on the images below:

“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.

Authentic Fieldcraft Commitment

David has never paid or hired a company or guide to place him at a scene or in front of wildlife.

• No game farms.

• No animals in captivity.

• Every wildlife encounter was earned the old-fashioned way — through hiking, glassing, patience, and years of fieldcraft.

• No AI-generated images in part or in whole. Minor removal of distractions I find acceptable.

• Transparency Pledge - found by clicking on it in the header of this page

• No fabricated or multi-location composites. Example: A lake from one location placed in front of a towering peak, which never existed.

• No baiting of birds or mammals.

• I have never used or paid for a photography guide to stage a scene.
