🏔️ PARK CITY PHOTOGRAPHY LLC — Est. 2003
Award-Winning Landscape & Wildlife Photography
of Park City & The American West
Welcome! Please don’t miss my Park City Fall Leaves Gallery as new work is being added daily.
My name David Winegar, a Utah native and longtime Park City resident. I have been creating photographic art since 2003.
Subject Matter. My art celebrates the landscapes and wildlife of Park City, Utah’s wilderness, and the deserts of the American Southwest. I am equally drawn to the Tetons and Yellowstone—America’s Serengeti. I also enjoy street photography, capturing life unscripted. What follows is a sampling of these genres and the fine art I create.
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.
More Than a Photograph. Much of my work is described as having a painterly quality, which I attribute to both the scenes I capture and the fine-art materials I select. In Snowstorm Sheet Music, songbirds become musical notes, bare branches their staff, and falling snow their score. My printing on an exhibition canvas or archival German Hahnemühle cotton rag, reveal the delicate textures and subtle tonality of snow and ice create a sense of being within the scene, rather than simply viewing it.
Close to Home. Park City’s wildlife and landscapes are close to my heart. Baby Moose on Rob’s Trail captures an intimate encounter, while Rob’s Trail Vista celebrates the landscape. My most celebrated image, Leap of Faith, captures a red fox leaping across McLeod Creek. An International First Place Winner in Wildlife, it marked a turning point in my career and is permanently exhibited at Park City’s Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter.
The Desert. I love photographing the deserts of the Southwest and maintain a home studio in Moab, Utah. My image Balancing Act, photographed in Canyonlands National Park, captures a resilient pinyon pine balanced on a cliff face. Photographed in black-and-white, and made as a large-format traditional silver print, hand-processed in wet chemistry. Hand made Silver Prints bridge the past with the presence and have a unique look with extraordinary depth and dimension—scenes you feel you can walk into.
From Imagination to Fine Art. Many images begin before I pick up a camera. Sovereign of the Storm was the result of this pre-visualization. A Utah mountain goat standing resolute on an exposed cliff, enduring and facing into a winter storm. A rare image created from repeated trips in blizzard conditions in Utah’s high country.
Mirrors and Metaphors of Life. First Snow on Fall Leaves — La Sal Range marks the passage from autumn to winter, while When the Leaves Are Gone — East Canyon Sunrise reveals a forest floor blanketed in bronze leaves, awaiting winter’s next chapter. To me, these scenes mirror the seasons of our lives—new beginnings, marriage, children, and the bittersweet joy of watching them leave home. I hope my art speaks not only to— the landscape before you, but to 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, 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.

Snowstorm Sheet Music
2026 International Photographic Competition — Bronze Medal
Wanship, Utah
As a winter storm sweeps across the landscape, a flock of starlings takes refuge in a tree. Facing into the wind and snow, they hold fast with quiet resilience—a reminder that even the fiercest storms eventually pass..
