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.

The sounds, the colors and the tastes of India and an opportunity to participate in a photography workshop focused on Bengal Tigers! What’s not to like? I couldn’t wait for my opportunity to set my lenses on the eye of a tiger.
When Colby posted his plans for workshop in India, I was eager to sign up! This was my 4th workshop adventure with Colby, so I already knew that he will have thoroughly researched(…)
the best places to go with the highest probability of tiger sightings! I also know that even in the most challenging locations, he has seen to all the logistics that make the trip run smoothly. A terrific network of contacts who have local knowledge makes navigating throughout the trip seem simple. We traveled to Tadoba and Bandavgarh National Parks located south of New Delhi. Our safaris were very productive. Colby is a great person to travel with and an outstanding coach. No matter where you are on the photography continuum, Colby has insights on techniques, technology, and software that make you a better photographer. On each trip, I come away looking forward to applying newfound skills and to the next adventure!
I had the pleasure of joining Colby’s Patagonia workshop in April 2023. The amount of planning and effort put into the tour by Colby and Pedro both ahead of time, as well as on the ground during the trip, were clear from day one.
We got very lucky with the weather and only had one rained-out day, which served as some well-timed downtime for editing photos from the first half the trip. Every other day was(…)
put to good use, with things to do from sunrise to sunset, including a pre-dawn hike to see first light on mount Fitz Roy, to astrophotography; and while the trip focused on landscapes, we still had plenty of opportunities to see wildlife.All of this was supported by behind-the-scenes efforts by Colby and Pedro, who were often awake long before anyone else in the group, checking the weather for sunrise shoots, and making calls about the best way to start the day.

I was fortunate to take a quick, three day, Sony sponsored photo trip with Colby as our leader. Colby, as you may know is a Sony Artisan of Imagery. I hadn’t met or been familiar with his work or teaching prior to this event but was looking forward to meeting him and learning new photo techniques. I also hoped for great Zion locations at sunrise and sunset. I was not disappointed! Colby was an impressive(…)
instructor. His teaching style with adults is perfect in that he makes himself available for any and all questions but is not intrusive nor pedantic. He helps you think through setting up a picture and is available to help if needed. A goal of mine for this trip was to become more familiar with shooting in Manual mode as well as to use longer exposures. Colby assisted with both culminating in a number of “keepers” from various locations in and around the Virgin River. I also gained from his helping the small group, in his tutorial/post processing session, to learn to pre-visualize a scene from an artistic instead of a strictly technical point of view. In addition, Colby helped me gain expertise with LightRoom editing software. The quality of my finished images definitely improved as a result of this experience. Bottom line, if you have an opportunity to join one of Colby’s tours, grab it. You won’t be disappointed.
