Welcome to
Colby Brown Photography
I became a photographer back in 2006, rapidly rising in the ranks of the photo industry. I created my company, Colby Brown Photography, to offer my services to the public and corporations. I spent countless hours studying the latest photography techniques, exploring camera technology and photo editing. This learning curve opened my eyes to the world of photography education by exploring the world and using these techniques in the field.
I was leading photography workshops for National Geographic in South America, further spurring my love for both travel and photo education. Over the years, I have developed photography workshops that take you to wondrous locations around the globe while teaching the different disciplines of photography. Each workshop is carefully planned to offer the best scenic locations to create memorable adventure while allowing me to share my knowledge and experience.
Today, I am a professional photographer, photo educator and author living in Eastern Pennsylvania with my family. The meticulously researched photography workshops I created, specialize in landscape, travel and wildlife photography, I am fortunate to work all over the globe, across all 7 continents, documenting various cultures, environments and species in pursuit of capturing life on this planet. Following my heart and my passions, I dedicate a lot of my time to working with small NGOs, charities and initiative programs while on the road. If you have been looking for a way to give back, check out my NGO, The Giving Lens. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and contact me. Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!
Each year I run photography workshop adventures around the globe in some of the most incredible locations on the planet such as Patagonia, Iceland, Norway, Cuba, Africa and much more…
Throughout my career I have created a number of tutorials, video courses & e-books that cover everything from social media and business to post-processing (Adobe, Capture One & On1 Photo RAW). You can find these in the Photography Education section of this website.

Client Testimonials

I recently went to India to do a Photographic Workshop, mostly photographing wild tigers. This was my second workshop with Colby, so I had high expectations, but these expectations were exceeded and some! This was for just over 2 weeks to experience India as a whole. We started in Delhi and went to Jaipur, the pink city, Agra, the Taj Mahal, and Agra Fort. We had some tours in these cities set up by Colby,(…)
and everything went smoothly. It gave us an excellent feel and experience of India as a country, especially the people, which was a great bonus. Of course, the Taj Mahal was magnificent and needs to be seen if you are going to India. In addition, we got to go to Bharatpur Bird Sanctaury, which was beautiful and set by Colby and his team with a wonderful local guide. We enjoyed it so much that we went there twice, once on the way to Agra and once on the way back to Delhi after seeing the Taj.The Tiger experience was terrific in two different Tiger Reserves, specifically Dudhwa and Ranthambore, which have different experiences. In 14 game drives, I had 16 Tiger sightings with multiple tigers in each sighting, which created wonderful photo opportunities. We saw Tigers close up, walking towards us, in family groups, drinking, swimming, splashing, and chasing antelope in the water. It was just way better than I expected.
We had a wonderful group of seven photographers with two non-photographers (spouses), so lots of room in three safari gypsys. Colby is a truly special tour leader! He finds time to spend with all of us and handles people and issues so well. I can’t wait for my next trip with Colby and highly recommend him for any Photographic worships – he is the best!!

I greatly appreciated Colby’s philosophy about this photo workshop, which included providing one-on-one advice in the field and deciding where to go for photos based on up-to-the-minute forecasts of auroras and the weather (instead of a fixed daily itinerary). He chose incredible locations for our cabins and the photo outings. Also, Colby made sure that if we had late-night sessions with auroras, we had(…)
enough rest the next morning before going out on another photo shoot. His sessions for demonstrating some photo editing tips, as well as individual critiques of photos by Colby and his assistant Pedro, were quite useful. Overall, I learned a lot during this week, and it was also fun. Thanks for everything Colby!
This workshop was my first, but certainly not my last. Everything is well organized so you do not have to develop plans of where and when to go. Colby and Pedro have been coming to Patagonia annually for years and know all the iconic photography spots that do not need too much physical effort to get to. They are extremely personable and willing to help with compositions, camera settings and sharing their(…)
knowledge of the photography world. Extremely happy to have signed up for this trip!
