Colt Maule

GUNNISON 'PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR' 2025

Colt Maule is an artist of deep observation and deliberate intention. Based in the high-altitude silence of the Quartz Creek Valley in Pitkin, Colorado, he operates within the historic walls of Terrible Mountain Gallery. His work is born from the belief that a life lived with purpose deserves to be documented with a corresponding level of gravity and permanence.
As the founder of Soul Atlas Studio, Colt has dedicated his practice to the creation of fine art portraiture that transcends the digital noise of the modern world. He views the individual not as a fleeting subject, but as a living Atlas—a vast, intricate landscape of history, character, and spirit. His process is a study in stillness; he strips away the transient to focus on the weight of a person’s presence.
Colt’s mastery of light and shadow is more than a technical skill—it is a tool used to map the enduring essence of the people he photographs. Every session is a quiet, collaborative effort to create a definitive record of the individual. The result is a timeless work of art, an archival legacy designed to be passed down as a cornerstone of family history for generations to come.
Through a lens of commitment and a dedication to the craft of the profound, Colt ensures that your story is recorded with the dignity it deserves.
