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 traveled to Katmai NP in Alaska for a brown bear photography workshop led by Colby. He is an outstanding photographer and videographer, and he freely shared his knowledge and experience with our group. His understanding of bear behavior allowed us to safely position ourselves in close proximity to them without interfering with their need to devour salmon to prepare for hibernation, or with any(…)
mother’s need to protect her cubs. His positive attitude is infectious and his organization skills added so much to our enjoyment of the trip. I recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone interested in taking a photography or other adventure workshop!
I am a wildlife artist 1st and a photographer 2nd, so the wealth of knowledge and resources I gathered this trip was phenomenal. Best of all Colby led us with humor, grace and experience. If my pockets were deep enough I would take all of his workshops around the world without hesitation!

This was our 2nd workshop with Colby and honestly the bar from the 1st trip was set quite high. However this trip didn’t disappoint. From the moment that we got together with Colby and the other participants, the fun never stopped. Words cannot describe the feeling when seeing these amazing jaguars for the first time … whether walking along the riverbanks, emerging from the brush, perched up in the tree, and(…)
especially when they hunted the caiman. Wow! So much wildlife encountered … obviously the jaguar, but also the caiman, giant river otters, capybara (adults and babies), and even a water buffalo. What I didn’t expect was the bird life too. Birds were great to fill in any down time waiting for the jaguars to emerge. Rafael, the local guide / biologist, was always helpful in educating us about the conservation efforts, behavioral aspects, etc of the wildlife and birds in the area. Colby was fantastic in getting us in the right area, right angles, right light. … and helping us out with settings, processing, and whatever else we needed. If experiencing the thrill of witnessing the jaguar hunting its prey (up close), then this is the trip for you!
