Lucian Manthey is a 17 year old photographer based in Denver, Colorado, and a current senior at Denver East High School. Whether he's capturing the majesty of snow-capped peaks, the vibrant colors of a sunrise, or the rugged beauty of the desert, Lucian's photographs remind us of the awe-inspiring power of nature and the importance of preserving it for generations to come.

From the high peaks of the Rocky Mountains to the grasslands of the Great Plains, Lucian’s determination to document the beauty of our world is a testament to his exploration fervor, creative vision, and fierce sense of resolve. These qualities, combined with a quest for fresh perspectives and a deep love of the land, have led to a growing portfolio of cutting-edge imagery.

Lucian’s work has been featured in publications including F-Stop Magazine, Summit Daily News, and the Colorado Springs Gazette, and used by brands like Rivian Automotive and Ikon Pass.

Lucian is a proud citizen of the Osage Nation and would like to acknowledge that we live, recreate, and capture images on the traditional and ancestral homelands of many indigenous nations and tribes, but most notably the Nookhose'iinenno (Arapaho), Tsis tsis'tas (Cheyenne), and Nuuchu (Ute).
