🏔️ 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 photographic art is based primarily on traditional photography rooted in documentary-realism. In an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and advanced photographic software, David provides holds fast to traditional methods where the photographer, his skill and technique creates the art (see Transparency for more).

This traditional photography is earned through research, time afield, and a deep familiarity with place and subject—guided by his imagination and pre-visualization. Many images reflect hundreds of miles traveled and hours or multiple days spent studying the landscape and its wildlife, learning the light and recognizing the story.

His work is distinctive, layered with narrative and emotional depth. Many images are accompanied by his written reflections, exploring both the story and his emotional response—what is unfolding and what was felt. Nature and wildlife often serve as metaphors for the human experience, a recurring theme in his work.

These photographs are not merely ofsomething; they are about something—a distinction that aligns with his philosophy. (see The Creative Act for more).

David’s work has been featured in Park City furniture and décor showrooms for over two decades. He now prefers to work directly with clients—at art shows, exhibitions, or by request—to better understand and fulfill their artistic vision. He offers samples of finished works, lighting guidance, and custom mockups.

In addition to creating fine art, David teaches The Art of Photography, offering personalized instruction to help clients advance their craft (see Instruction for more).

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.
