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 was fortunate enough to take a recent trip with Colby Brown to Costa Rica, and it was fantastic!
Colby manages to be spot on every day in spite of being pestered all day with my repetitive questions and comments. He somehow wrangles cats without ever losing his composure, sense of humor, or delightful temperament! Several times (likely everyday) I would find myself struggling with either the camera(…)
settings or spotting a subject and without even asking he would magically be at my side helping me out no matter what the issue. Our group of eight people quickly morphed into a very cohesive and well natured bunch mostly because of Colby’s seamless efforts and good nature.He not only found some of the best places to view and photograph wildlife in Costa Rica but also located the best local guides to help us appreciate them!
I now plan to accompany him again on other wonderful adventures throughout the world whenever I get the opportunity!

Amazing trip! Not only were the physical locations absolutely stunning but the atmosphere created by everyone on the trip was an experience like no other. I’ve never been in the same room as so many like-minded people in terms of photography and Colby and Pedro were the perfect guides throughout it all. Hopefully, I have the chance to join up with them in the future on another adventure!

I lucked into this trip, having impulsively signed up after reading Colby’s email about night photography of reptiles and bats. That got me hooked. Little did I know that he was a Sony Ambassador. The trip was non-stop photo ops: hummingbirds, frogs, snakes, and a great variety of birds. It included boat rides, treks through the forest, blinds, set-up flash and natural light hummingbirds, and great(…)
instruction on the use of macro and flash. Colby is a wonderful leader with truly professional skills and knowledge of photography and our subjects, but also wonderful people skills. No ego, lots of laughs, and beyond helpful. I can’t recommend him enough!
