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.

I saw his name on the internet, took a leap of faith, & immediately sent my deposit for the 2023 trip to Brazil. I had never met Colby before this trip but, wow, did I luck out with meeting him, traveling with him, learning from him. Luckily, most of the guests shoot with the same camera(s) (Sony) & even though I have been able to get decent shots before Brazil, Colby taught me how to get so much more out of(…)
my cameras. He is so knowledgeable, so patient, so friendly & kind (& even funny!)I am so happy to be an “alumnus” – I have not even been home a week yet & even though I have been there before, I booked a trip to Uganda with him, knowing that I will have a great experience & learn so much more!

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.

While we were unlucky this season and did not see the impressive migration across the Mara River, we did have a lot of awesome sightings and photo opportunities – a Cheetah mum and her four cubs; baby hyenas; an eagle close-up; the first outing of lion cubs; watching the next generation of lions being made; and so much more. Be prepared to sit for hours in the safari vehicle to traverse Kenya’s Parks. Colby(…)
was prepared to help with techniques, just ask, he helped me with High-Key Exposure. And if you see something you want to photograph, just ask, that is how we got the close-ups on the eagle and feeding lions!
