Colt Studio Group is an American independent pornography company. Colt has produced gay pornography since 1967. Colt started in New York City, moved to Los Angeles for 25 years, and is now based in San Francisco, California.

Colt photographed some of the most famous gay stars of the pre-AIDS era, including Bruno and Al Parker.

History

In 2007, Colt Studio Group celebrated its fortieth anniversary. San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom signed a proclamation declaring February 23, 2007 as "Colt Studio Day" in celebration of this anniversary. This proclamation attracted criticism from conservative commentators including then–Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly.
