My husband and I stopped in the gallery because we stayed at La Quinta where they have David J. West's photos displayed on the walls of the lobby and in the guest rooms and we fell in love with them. They are simply stunning. We walked in about 15 minutes before they closed but Mitch was so accommodating and friendly he let us stay after hours. Because he chose to do this we decided to buy the picture we liked on the spot. Normally we would have given it a day to think about it but because Mitch was off the next few days we wanted to be sure he received the commission. We went back the next day and met M.J. and decided to take home a couple more photos.
David's photographs are amazing, and he was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend a trip to his gallery and a few purchases, too.
We met David when we stopped by the gallery. He was very nice, and even signed the calendar we bought. He has some incredible work on display.
Not only is the staff super friendly, but the photo's are spectacular and displayed in many amazing different ways. He surely will become great in time, and it would seem that a collector couldn't go wrong here. We truly enjoyed his perspectives, though admittedly mickey mouse could take a great picture in Zion!
Agree with the other reviews that this is the gallery in S.dale. We loved his work but bought some unique pottery he brings in from an artist from PN.....unique and priced right.
I have made two trips now to Zion National Park with a third planned in July. have stopped by to see David on both trips and will see him again on the next one. I have a wall in my home of his work beautifully framed by him. It is all places that my family and I have hiked in the Park. It is a really cool thing to be able to look up at a wall that has so many memories along with beautiful pictures. David is always coming up with new pictures or a different way to see an old one. He is also just an awesome guy to talk to and well informed with the area. I am hoping to add to my wall on this next trip. His large pictures are pretty pricey but once you realize how much the frames actually cost it is not that bad. The Burlwood frams are my favorite frames.
This is a small gallery with some great photos from David. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. There are some fantastic photos of Zion and nearby National parts. The prices are good especially if you compare to the other big gallery in town. They also sell some photography equipment and accessories for serious photographers like Lee filters.
This is one place not to be missed when you are in Springdale Utah visiting Zion NP. I'm not at all the shopping type...I do enjoy walking through unique galleries to see nice art and photography. What is great about this place is that you not only see phenomenal photography and pottery but you will more than likely get a chance to talk at length with the actual photographer (You may, if you're lucky, meet the family dog Charlie too). I've been through many "celebrity" galleries, they have some great shots...though often it does not seem to capture the essence of the place and you will likely never meet the photographer, just a salesperson. David's place is great in that he truly captures the places he is photographing...and the shots are exceptional. They also sell some unique pottery (we picked up several pieces). my wife is a photographer, so its says something that we picked up a print from David. If you're in Springdale make it a point to stop by, browse and chat with David and the staff...well worth your time...make sure to see his shot of Zion at night after a snowfall called "Once Upon a Time)... a truly mesmerizing shot!
The David J West Gallery is definitely worth a visit. Paintings, photography and pottery - original and not just the same old stuff. With Thanksgiving coming up my wife was looking for serving bowls and plates. With the help of David's staff, we were able to put together a grouping of four pieces that we purchased on Tuesday, 11/18/14. When we got home to Texas on Sunday, 11/23, the shipment had already arrived - and everything was in perfect condition! Charlie Brown was out with David, so we didn't get the pleasure of meeting either. But our family and friends will be as thankful as we are this Thanksgiving for the extra blessing that the David J West Gallery has brought to our table.
This is best gallery in Springdale by far; David and the staff are always friendly and helpful. David is a wonderful photographer and the artwork in his gallery is reasonably priced. The gallery not only carries Davids artwork but also pottery by Bill Campbell at a GREAT price. Don't miss this gallery.
