🏔️ 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 based in Park City, Utah capturing—- real light—real moments, and —real places.

In an era where artificial intelligence and advanced software can render scenes indistinguishable from reality, he offers authenticity.

Each image often begins with pre-visualization—born from imagination—then refined through research and fieldwork. This process frequently requires multiple visits to a location to study the subject, evaluate composition, and understand how light interacts with the scene across different times of day, weather conditions, and seasons. Over time, the scene is revisited and photographed until a compelling, fully realized work emerges (e.g., Lone Pinyon Pine in the Trees Gallery and Baby Osprey Waiting for Mother in the Wildlife: Birds Gallery).

A hallmark of his work is its narrative and emotional depth. Many pieces are accompanied by an expressive written reflection, offering insight into both the moment and its meaning. These works explore not only what is seen, but what is —felt. His photographs are not merely ”of something” they are ”about something” reflecting both the subject and the journey of creation (see The Creative Act). Certain scenes serve as metaphors for the human experience.

In 2025, David transitioned to a more refined business model, choosing to work directly and exclusively with clients. This approach allows for a more personal, elevated experience—from initial vision through final installation. He offers the story behind each image to deepen the connection to the artwork, along with expert guidance on materials, finishes, and lighting to ensure a gallery-level presentation in both residential and commercial spaces.

David also teaches The Art of Photography, providing personalized instruction for those seeking to advance their skills (see Instruction).

Art As Visual Metaphors of Life

If his work often resonates with you, it might be—something you’ve lived, or loved.

“First Snow on Fall Leaves – La Sal Range” (near Moab, Utah)
The season’s first snowstorm takes place overnight, and dawn reveals a stunning palette of colors —leaves of gold and crimson adorned in white. The scene captures a fleeting intersection of autumn and winter, a quiet marker of nature’s rhythm and transitions in time.

“Snowstorm Sheet Music” (Wanship, Utah)
A winter gust front forces a flock of starlings to take refuge in a tree. They turn and face into the storm with snow and ice pelting their tiny bodies. They hang on with resilience, fortitude, and courage. In much the same way that we can endure life’s trials—hold fast, and have faith.

“When The Leaves Are Gone” (East Canyon, Utah)
At first light in East Canyon, an overnight windstorm has stripped the aspens bare, their fallen leaves surrendering to the ground. Bronze branches, like delicate lace, reach toward the sky—another chapter in time as autumn yields to winter.
