🏔️ 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 based in Park City.
His work is rooted in traditional photography and documentary realism. In an era shaped by artificial intelligence and digital manipulation, he remains committed to a traditional approach—where vision, fieldcraft, and technique define the final image (see Transparency).
Guided by pre-visualization—an active process of imagining the scene—he begins with research at home, then goes afield to see if the image can be realized as envisioned. This requires an understanding of light across different times of day and seasons, as well as the habits of wildlife, until the final image is resolved and made into art.
His work is defined by narrative and emotional depth, and is sometimes paired with his written reflections (examples follow below). Each piece explores not only what is seen, but what is felt. He finds a spiritual connection with nature and wildlife, and certain scenes become metaphors for the human experience.
These photographs are not merely of something—they are about something, a distinction central to his philosophy (see The Creative Act).
Since 2003, his work has been featured in various Park City furniture, art, and design stores. Today, he works directly with clients through exhibitions, art shows, and private consultation, offering finished samples, guidance on lighting your art, and custom visualizations through digital mockups.
He also teaches The Art of Photography, providing personalized instruction for those seeking to refine their craft (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)
The season’s first snow arrives quietly in the night, and by dawn, autumn still lingers—leaves of gold and crimson adorned in white. For one client, it represented the chapter in life when his children had grow up and were now leaving home, a beautiful marker in the passage of time.
“Snowstorm Sheet Music” (Wanship, Utah)
A winter gust front forces a flock of starlings to take refuge, where they turn to face the storm—snow and ice pelting their tiny bodies. They hang on with resilience, fortitude, and courage. In much the same way that we can 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, an 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. Another chapter in time, as the quiet passage of autumn yields to winter’s embrace.
