Award-Winning Landscape & Wildlife Photography

Park City & The American West

Welcome!

My name is David Winegar, owner of Park City Photography LLC.

As a Utah native, I've spent more than two decades photographing the wildlife of Park City and the landscapes of the American West. I'd like to share a little about my photography and the journey behind it. Simply click on any underlined image title to see an example of the theme being discussed

The pinnacle of my work is my large-format Chromogenic silver-halide prints—photographs created using one of photography's finest traditional printing processes and selected for juried museum exhibitions. Each is laser-exposed onto FujiFlex photographic paper and individually developed using the traditional RA-4 process. I also create exhibition canvas, ChromaLuxe aluminum metal prints, and loose prints on premium fine art papers, each crafted to museum-quality standards.

During 2026, I received an International Bronze Medal for Snowstorm Sheet Music, an image of starlings seeking refuge in a tree during a sudden snowstorm. My landscape photography is rooted in knowing a place—returning through different seasons, weather, and light until a magnificent scene reveals itself. That approach led to First Snow on Fall Leaves – La Sal Range, created when autumn color and the season's first gentle snowfall briefly converged near Warner Lake in Utah's La Sal Mountains.

Wildlife photography, by contrast, requires understanding an animal's habits, respecting its space, and waiting patiently for those fleeting moments when behavior, light, and timing align. Examples are Baby Osprey – Waiting for Mother and Leap of Faith, a Park City red fox launching from the riverbank of McLeod Creek along Old Ranch Road. Leap of Faith went on to win First Place in the Wildlife category at Art Wolfe's International Photography Competition.

I have always been drawn to the magic and serenity of night photography. Full Moon Rising over McPolin Barn and McPolin Milky Way are two such examples. Each was the culmination of returning to this iconic landmark over multiple nights, and gradually solving one challenge after another until a magical art piece was created.

A few times each year, I venture into the high country, climbing local peaks and traversing remote cliffs in search of mountain goats. Those journeys produced Sovereign of the Storm, photographed during the first major snowstorm (2025) in Utah's High Uintas, and Into Thin Air, created after spending the night at 11,900 feet. Several of my mountain goat photographs were selected for publication in the latest edition of FalconGuides' Hiking Utah's High Uintas.

In 2025, I transitioned from Park City gallery representation to working directly with my clients. No one knows a photograph—or how best to showcase it—better than the photographer who created it. I provide guidance and samples of various finishes, custom framing, lighting, and even oversee professional installation.

For more than twenty years, it has been my privilege to serve Park City and the surrounding communities with award-winning, hand-signed, limited-edition fine art produced in small numbered series. I have also created custom-designed artwork for many of Park City's finest homes, carefully selecting and crafting each piece to complement the unique character of each space. I have many examples available and offer free consultation with samples.

To me, photography is more than documenting a place or an animal. It is the privilege of witnessing a story as it unfolds. Every photograph is born of real light, a real place, and a moment that will never exist again. If something in these galleries stirs your heart, brings back a memory, or speaks to your own journey through life, then the photograph has found its home.

Art As Visual Metaphors of Life - Examples

If his work often resonates with you, it might be 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 nature's rhythm 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.

Likewise, I discovered a beautiful stand of aspens on the north face of East Canyon near Park City. Overnight, autumn winds stripped the trees bare. I returned the following morning at sunrise, when warm bronze light revealed the intricate lacework of their branches, creating When The Leaves Are Gone.
