🏔️ 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, a Utah native living in Park City, Utah.

For those seeking art that is faithful to what a higher power has created, David’s work offers a return to something enduring—his lens-work is rooted in documentary realism and the principles of straight photography. He offers clients thoughtful guidance on what to consider before investing in photographic art (see Transparency).

His images most often begin with pre-visualization—scenes first imagined in his mind’s eye—then realized through extensive research, careful planning, and repeated visits to fully understand the subject.

He studies light across different times of day and seasons until the decisive moment reveals itself. His decades of fieldcraft and experience as a professional outdoor guide provide a depth of knowledge that only time can yield.

His work has been shaped by the traditions of masters such as Ansel Adams, Thomas Mangelsen, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, as well as contemporary voices including the philosophy of Guy Tal and the work of David Muench and Sebastião Salgado.

His work is distinctive and rich with storytelling and emotion, often accompanied by written reflections. His images are not simply of something; they are about something (see The Creative Act).

His work has been featured in leading Park City showrooms, and as of 2025, he works directly with clients through private consultations, as well as presenting at art shows and juried exhibitions. He offers personalized guidance in subject selection, scale and placement, material selection, and mockups.

In addition to creating photographic art, David teaches The Art of Photography, helping clients advance their craft through personalized instruction (see Instruction).

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

Art As Visual Metaphors of Life

Across his landscape and wildlife imagery, themes of resilience, courage, and relationships unfold—woven with the quiet seasonal markers of passing time. The work often resonates deeply, connecting to something personal—something you’ve lived, or something you’ve loved.

Examples - For The Scenes 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 his children had grown up and were leaving 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. White trunks and bronze branches like delicate lace reach toward the sky. The leaves blanket the ground. Another chapter in time, as the quiet passage of autumn yields to winter’s embrace.
