🏔️ PARK CITY PHOTOGRAPHY LLC — Est. 2003
Award-Winning Landscape & Wildlife Photography
of Park City & The American West

Welcome!

My name is David Winegar, an Utah native and longtime resident of Park City. I have been fortunate to pursue my passion for creating and selling photographic art since founding Park City Photography LLC in 2003. Over the years, my work has received international recognition and has been selected by jurors for museum exhibitions.

Training and Credentials: Over the past 25 years, I have completed hundreds of photography classes, workshops, and continuing-education programs, and today I share that experience by offering photography instruction as part of my business. I am a 2015 graduate of the New York Institute of Photography, a member of the Professional Photographers of America and the Intermountain Professional Photographers Association, where I also serve on the Board of Directors.

Subject Matter. My art celebrates the landscapes and wildlife of Park City, Utah’s High Uintas, and the deserts of the American Southwest, with a deep affinity for the Tetons, Yellowstone, and the greater American West. I also enjoy street photography—capturing the character, humanity, and spontaneous moments of life unscripted.

Knowing a Place. I believe meaningful photographs come from truly knowing a place and its wildlife. I return to the same landscapes through changing seasons, weather, and light. With each visit, you discover new perspectives and learn how light and the elements within the frame work together. The result is art not merely of a place, but about a place—with a story to tell.

More Than a Photograph. Some of my art is mistaken for paintings. For example, during a winter storm, I watched starlings take refuge in a tree against fierce winds. In Snowstorm Sheet Music, the birds resembled notes, the branches a musical staff, and a winter sky with snow the paper upon which nature writes its score.

Close to Home. Some of the photographs closest to my heart celebrate the wildlife and landscapes of Park City, including Baby Moose on Rob’s Trail and Rob’s Trail Vista.
Leap of Faith launched my career in 2006, capturing a Park City red fox exploding across McLeod Creek at the decisive moment. The photograph reached the international stage with a First Place award overall in Wildlife and is now permanently exhibited at Park City’s Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter.

The Desert. I have made many pilgrimages to Canyonlands’ Mesa Arch, where people from around the world gather to witness its celebrated sunrise. Yet just around the corner stands Balancing Act—an ancient pinyon pine, one leg anchored in stone, the other poised at the cliff’s edge, a long exposed root holding fast to the rock. Resilient without spectacle, its weathered limbs reach not for attention but bear witness in silence to the seasons of life on a cold winter morning.

From Imagination to Fine Art. Sometimes a photograph begins long before I pick up a camera. Sovereign of the Storm began as an image in my mind—an Utah mountain goat standing resolute in a fierce winter storm, high on an exposed cliff. I returned again and again to Utah’s high country, venturing into deep snow and blizzards in pursuit of that vision. After many journeys—and a little luck the scene finally came together in a single decisive moment. It remains one of my most cherished images.

Mirrors and Metaphors of Life. My art seeks to create scenes that reflect the chapters and seasons of human life. An ancient tree anchored in stone on a cliff face, or songbirds clinging to ice-coated branches during a winter squall, remind us of strength, resilience, and our ability to endure. My photographs invite you to look beyond the scenery—to the stories and emotions within it. To see not only the landscape before you, but perhaps discover a little of the landscape within you.

The Art of Presentation. I believe a finished fine-art piece is equal parts artistry and technical craftsmanship—both behind the camera and in its presentation. The creative process doesn’t end with the photograph. I carefully consider the surface that best complements each image—be it hand made silver print, metal or exhibition canvas.

The Fine Art Experience. After years of gallery representation in Park City, I now work directly with clients. In your home or business, you can see actual artwork and finishes while we consider scale, décor, and lighting together. I personally guide the process—from suggesting images that reflect your vision, to exploring finishes that complement your space, through final installation.
