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

Welcome!

My name David Winegar, a Utah native and longtime Park City resident. I have been creating photographic art since 2003.

Subject Matter. My photography celebrates the wildlife and landscapes of Park City, the desert Southwest, and alpine wilderness. I also enjoy street photography, capturing life unscripted. What follows is a sampling of my favorite subjects, with underlined links offering a peek at the art.

Knowing a Place. Meaningful photographs come from knowing a landscape and its wildlife through changing seasons and weather, seeking magical light and waiting for the decisive moment. Images filled with emotion—not simply of a place, but telling the story of a place.

Painterly Quality. Collectors often ask whether my photographs are paintings. This quality comes from both the scenes I capture and the fine-art materials I choose. In Snowstorm Sheet Music, songbirds become musical notes, bare branches their staff, and falling snow their score. Exhibition canvas or archival Hahnemühle cotton rag paper enhances the delicate textures and subtle tones of snow and ice, inviting viewers to feel themselves within the scene, rather than simply observe it.

Close to Home. Few places inspire me more than the wildlife and landscapes of Park City, a place I’ve called home for over 35 years. Baby Moose on Rob’s Trail captures an intimate wildlife encounter, while Rob’s Trail Vista celebrates the landscape itself. Among my most acclaimed images, Leap of Faith captures a red fox leaping across McLeod Creek along Old Ranch Road. An International First Place Wildlife winner, and permanently exhibited at Park City’s Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter.

The Desert. The deserts of the American Southwest are a lifelong passion, with Moab a second home. My image Balancing Act, captured on a winter morning in Canyonlands National Park, portrays an ancient pinyon pine clinging to a sheer cliff—to me, a metaphor for life, resilience, and the determination to hold on. In 2026, I created and led the Moab Landscape Photography Retreat for the Intermountain Professional Photographers Association.

Pre-Visualization. With an active imagination, many of my images begin long before I pick up a camera. Sovereign of the Storm was born of this vision: a Utah mountain goat standing resolute on an exposed cliff as winter’s first fierce blizzard swept across the high country. Capturing this rare moment required repeated journeys into Utah’s alpine wilderness, braving winter storms until all the elements aligned to transform imagination into fine art. The image’s awards and recognition are featured below.

Mirrors and Metaphors of Life. First Snow on Fall Leaves — La Sal Range marks autumn’s passage into winter, while When the Leaves Are Gone — East Canyon Sunrise reveals the next chapter. To me, nature mirrors the seasons of our lives—new beginnings, marriage, children, and watching them leave home. Departure, rendered in timeless black and white, embodies that emotion. As you explore my gallery, I invite you to explore the landscape before you, but the landscape within you.

The Fine Art Experience. After years of gallery representation in Park City, I now bring the gallery experience to you. See and compare fine-art finishes in your own home, under the very light where your art will live—no more guessing how a piece will look once it arrives. Each piece is personally overseen, carefully inspected, and personally hand-signed and numbered in a small limited edition. Best of all, your investment goes into the art itself, not costly storefront overhead or substantial gallery commissions.

Image Information: As part of a website upgrade, I am updating image titles, numbers, and personal stories behind each photograph. This will take time, but the result will be a richer, more enjoyable gallery experience. Thank you for your patience when visiting a gallery that is awaiting an upgrade!

Photography as a Witness. Whether or not you invest in my art, I hope my photographs inspire you to protect our natural world. With 91% of Bears Ears and 90% of Grand Staircase–Escalante losing national monument protections, nearly three million acres of Utah’s wildlands face an uncertain future. For what we love, we must protect.
