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.

Right after the 2025 Fourth of July weekend, I set off for Alaska to join a small group of seasoned photographers on a Colby Brown workshop. Our destination: the wild, breathtaking expanse of Katmai National Park. We were based out of Alaska Grizzly Safaris, Jacques Adventure Lodge—a rustic yet comfortable outpost, perfectly suited for the adventure ahead.
Each morning began with a floatplane flight over(…)
shimmering lakes, snow-dusted mountains, and winding marshlands. After a smooth water landing, we’d hike into remote corners of the wilderness, cameras ready, hoping to catch a glimpse of the stars of the show: the Alaskan brown bears. And they did not disappoint. At one point, we counted over 30 bears gathered in a single cove, feasting on salmon during the seasonal run. It was raw, wild nature at its best.The lodge staff made us feel right at home, the food was hearty and delicious, and the pilots and guides were top-notch—skilled, knowledgeable, and always ready with a story or a tip. What made the trip truly special, though, was the camaraderie. Sharing these awe-inspiring moments with such a passionate, supportive group of fellow photographers made the experience even more memorable.
It was an extraordinary week—part wilderness immersion, part photographic pilgrimage—and one I won’t soon forget.

The Workshop was a great experience and highly recommended for anyone who enjoys photographing landscapes.
The workshop leaders, Pedro and Ugo, were very helpful and showed us the best places in the area, also great personalities.
The group clicked from the first minute and everyone helped everyone, both during the trip and during the post-processing of the images taken.

The rooms in the hotels and the breakfast were great!
Thank you so much to everyone for this wonderful experience!!!!

The tour – this tour is amazing, focusing primarily on the primates of Uganda. Two days with the Gorillas is the way to go. You only get 1 hour with the group and it goes very fast, so two treks is the way to go.
Colby and the workshop – Colby did his best to spend time with each individual to help us get the best photos on the day and then to chat in the evening about how to improve the next day. Great for beginners, amateurs and experts.
