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.

This trip to Namibia was my second trip with Colby and I plan on a third with him in January 2023 in Costa Rica. Colby has traveled globally for decades and has a deep understanding of each country where he offers workshops. This is advantageous for us as he has done all the advanced groundwork and location scouting, optimizing our time. Colby also secured the best accommodations as we traveled to each spot(…)
in Namibia. Both workshop groups were small enough for individual attention when needed and diverse enough to provide each other with our unique photographic perspectives. We ranged in age from early 20’s to mid-70’s and varied in our skill level but we were a cohesive and mutually supportive group. I look forward to photographing hummingbirds and learning new macro skills with Colby in January.
I had very high expectations for the 2023 Patagonia workshop with Colby Brown. Not only did the workshop meet my lofty expectations, but it was also one of my favorite workshops over the last 20 years. I returned home with so many incredible photos! I attribute that success to Colby’s dedication of getting clients to the right locations at the right time. His flexibility based on current weather(…)
conditions was key, and his thorough knowledge of the area allowed us to capture those epic shots. Colby and Pedro Kin were also a blast to hang out with, which made the Patagonia workshop even more enjoyable. Thank you, Colby, for an amazing workshop!
From the unspoiled expanse of the Gobi, with nomadic herders of Bactrian Camels and the darkest night sky with the brightest stars and Milky Way I’ve ever seen, this has been my most memorable photo trip ever. It checked every possible box for me; Colby never disappointed and had arranged new and different photo opportunities every day with Camels, Yaks, Horses, Eagle hunters, and Nomadic herders and(…)
spectacular panoramas. We were also treated to some local Kazakh music and some ethnic meals that were “to die for”! I can’t imagine this trip being any better, and I want to return. All the logistical (internal vehicle and air travel, accommodation, meals, etc.) details were handled without a hitch by the ground team and local guide/fixer who accompanied us throughout the trip, so we could just unplug and enjoy the experience. Colby always made sure we got all the shots we were after at each location and lent his photo expertise throughout. I got photos I’ve dreamed of for years, and I’m so happy I did this trip!
