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

With India’s thriving population of wild tigers, this workshop did not disappoint. We had multiple sightings—especially in Ranthambore National Park—photographing these magnificent cats in a variety of settings: cooling off in ponds, strolling down a path, and even interacting with cubs. Our naturalists were friendly and exceptional spotters. One unexpected surprise was seeing the armor-plated Asian(…)
rhino—very different from ones in Africa, but just as stunning. We also captured deer, monkeys, and vibrant peacocks, all set against the backdrop of Ranthambore’s incredible sunrises. For those who arrived early for the workshop, Colby arranged an optional walking tour through Old Delhi. It was a fascinating look into daily life there, with chances to try authentic Indian food. Post-workshop, a couple of us visited Agra to photograph the Taj Mahal at sunrise—absolutely worth the 4:30 AM wake-up for that perfect shot without the crowds!Another amazing adventure, Colby—can’t wait for the next one!

My experience with Colby Brown‘s Costa Rica workshop was over the top! It was very well organized. I found the support team to be very knowledgeable and helpful at all times. Everyone received personal attention to their photographic needs.
We went to a variety of locations which offered a breadth of experiences. We had comfortable accommodations with delicious meals.
The workshop exceeded my(…)
expectations. There were photographic experiences I wasn’t expecting, and I made friends with a wonderful group of people and truly had a fantastic time!One thing that I would like to have done differently, that is to have done it much sooner. I plan on exploring more of the world through these workshops!

Chasing the almost endless summer light in Iceland is truly a legendary adventure. Colby’s philosophy is to design workshops which provide the most flexibility as possible. Camping throughout the workshop leaves the itinerary wide open and allows him to show you how to chase the light based on up-to-the-minute weather forecasts. His goal is to get his clients to the best locations with the best possible(…)
light. As a photographer, you cannot ask for more from a workshop. Not only will you come home with amazing photos, you will certainly leave a better photographer.
