About. International award-winning fine art photographer David Winegar has spent more than three decades capturing the wild beauty of Park City and the American West. Based in Park City, his work spans intimate encounters with local wildlife and iconic Western landscapes.

In the descriptions below, photographic titles that are italicized and underlined may be clicked to view the image.

The Artist & Recognition: A Utah native, David founded Park City Photography in 2003 and graduated from the New York Institute of Photography in 2015. Formerly represented by Park City galleries and design showrooms, David now works directly with collectors in their homes, creating a more personal experience.

His wildlife photography has earned international recognition, including First Place in the 2007 Art Wolfe Photography Competition in Seattle for his Park City fox photograph, Leap of Faith. His landscape photography has also been juried into the Springville Museum of Art’s prestigious Spring Salon for three consecutive years!

In 2026, David was selected for Park City’s Kimball Arts Festival. His wildlife photograph Snowstorm Sheet Music earned an International Bronze Medal. Sovereign of the Storm won Best of Show – Fine Art at the Utah State Fair and an Image of Excellence from the Photographic Society of America.

Photographic Art. David offers rare, large-format chromogenic silver prints, created on Fujiflex® photographic paper and fused beneath museum acrylic. This exceptional presentation combines traditional silver-halide photographic paper and darkroom chemistry with high resolution photography using the world’s finest cameras.

His work is also available on ChromaLuxe® aluminum, renowned for its brilliant color, clarity, as well as exhibition canvas and archival fine art paper.

Working with Collectors. After years of exhibiting through galleries, David now works directly with collectors offering personal guidance, complimentary in-home consultations, custom sizing and presentation options to help clients select artwork that complements each individual space.

Wilderness in His DNA. David has a deeply spiritual connection to the natural world. It is where he feels most alive, most present, and most himself. A lifelong outdoorsman, he guided and gave Flyfishing and fieldcraft instruction for Jans Mountain Outfitters in Park City and Local Waters Flyfishing in Huntsville, Utah. He also founded his own guide service, Royal Wulff Flyfishing. David is a graduate of the United States Air Force Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) School.

Photography as a Witness. Decades spent in wild country have shaped how David sees the world—and how he photographs it. To David, there is something magical about photography: its ability to freeze a fleeting moment in time, allowing the memory—and the feelings that came with it—to live on long after the moment has passed.

Art, Nature & Well-Being. David believes our connection to wild places is essential to the human spirit and contributes to our physical and mental well-being. His photography brings the beauty, quiet, and restorative qualities of nature into the spaces where we live and work. Through his art, he hopes to deepen our connection to the wildlife, wilderness, and extraordinary landscapes of the American West—and inspire their preservation for generations to come.

Preserving Wild Places. David proudly supports The Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense Council, Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, and Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and is a Life Member of Trout Unlimited. He also supports Bridge 21, the American Cancer society and the Huntsman Cancer Institute, extending his commitment to the broader community.

John Muir. David has long felt a deep connection to the philosophy of John Muir, whose vision helped inspire the preservation of America’s wild places and the national park movement. Like Muir, David believes wilderness is more than beautiful scenery—it restores us, strengthens us, and reminds us of our place in the natural world. That belief is at the heart of his photography and his commitment to conservation. David invite you to enjoy his life work presented by the galleries on this website.

“Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.” — John Muir

Art As Visual Metaphors of Life - Examples

If his images make your heart race, its something you have lived or loved

First Snow on Fall Leaves

The season's first snowstorm arrives overnight, and dawn unveils brilliant gold and crimson leaves lightly dusted with fresh snow. For just a few hours, autumn and winter share the landscape, creating a quiet reminder of natures rhythms and the passage of time.

Snowstorm Sheet Music

As a winter gust front sweeps across the landscape in Wanship, Utah. This forces a flock of starlings takes refuge in a tree. They face into the storm as snow and ice pelt their tiny bodies, holding on with quiet resilience. Holding strong, their courage, faith, and endurance, storms we face will eventually pass.

When the Leaves Are Gone

At first light in East Canyon, an overnight windstorm has stripped the aspens bare, their fallen leaves carpeting the forest floor. Delicate bronze branches reach skyward like intricate lace, marking another chapter of natures transition from autumn to winter.
