About David
David Whitten has been photographing the natural beauty of Utah, the Wasatch Mountains and North America for over 20 years. His photographic interest has always been the natural landscape, the wild places, especially in and around the Rocky mountains and the Western United States. His photographs are in private and corporate collections around the world and have been seen in national and international publications including National Geographic, Sunset, Outside, National Geographic Traveler, Ski, Skiing and many others.
David's love of skiing brought him to Park City at the age of 19 to live in the mountains of Utah. He was soon attending the University of Utah, taking a wide variety of classes, where he discovered photography and began learning his craft. He has worked extensively in black and white and color photography and lists Ansel Adams as a primary influence on his education and style. Over the years David's work has evolved to be mostly color. David's practical education includes working in some of Park City's many art galleries and picture framing shops. In 1986 he entered Valline Gallery in Park City, hoping to show his photographs. Robin Valline not only began selling his photographs but also offered David a job as a picture framer, helping to further another aspect of David's education. David worked as a picture framer for several years, learning conservation framing and art care from Robin. David also worked for the Kimball Art Center in Park City through the 1990s where he taught black and white photography classes and was the Art Center's jack of all trades. He loved having access to the Art Center's darkroom and photo lab where he would spend many late nights printing his photographs. After showing his work in a variety of Park City art galleries, in 1996 David opened his own gallery on Main Street, Park City, Utah. Many of David's photographs are done using a Pentax 6x7 camera. The large 6x7 centimeter film size lends itself to beautiful large prints with exquisite detail and depth. His films of choice are ultra-fine grain transparency films, primarily 50 ASA Fujichrome Velvia. The photographs are individually printed using the highest quality and longest lasting photographic papers available ( Fuji Crystal Archive paper) and are signed and numbered limited editions. All picture framing and mounting is done at the David Whitten Gallery using only the highest quality conservation grade materials, all designed to give the photograph the best possible protection and provide a lifetime of enjoyment. We take great care in all the details of printing and framing David's photographs to produce the highest quality product possible, a product we can be proud of, and that our clients can be proud to display. |
