Workshop Testimonials
I had a fantastic time with Colby and Peyton on my summer trip to Iceland. I learned so much more than I would have in a classroom. Having hours of great light and having instructors right there to give you guidance is something you can't pass up. Colby and Peyton were great with every person in our group, beginner to professional. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I truly came out of the workshop a better photographer. Thank you both for that!
The workshop start5ed in Milan with strangers and ended 9 days later as friends with a shared experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. Pedro and Ugo are excellent drivers, guides and teachers. We had a blast sharing stories over pizzas,, pastas, beer and wine at dinner after long days of hiking and shooting. My pictures came out pretty good too!
Pedro not only scouted out the best locations ahead of time, but was there to assist us along the way. Pedro did all the planing so all I have to do was show up and enjoy. All hotels were amazing and restaurants have provided excellent local food to us. During this workshop I have learned Northern Lights and long exposure waterfalls photography. Iceland was one of my best trips and the Northern Lights in Iceland was incredible!
Thank you so much for everything!
Seeing hundreds of bald eagles in Alaska was an incredible experience, and something I'd never forget.
The workshop was so well organized. Colby provided detailed instructions right from booking the workshop, helped us bring the right gear - both camera gear and winter gear. From the minute we met him, he made himself available to all of us - whether it's editing or shooting tips, or driving us around anywhere we need to. Colby is also very fun to hang out with, and he constantly drops tips and tricks.
If you join any of his workshops, I highly recommend asking questions and being proactive in getting what you want from the workshop.
In our bald eagle workshop, his other attendees were also great people. Some of them have a ton of wildlife experience, so I learned a bunch from them as well.
I attended the Iceland Winter Workshop in Winter 2017. Although weather conditions didn't hold up (you can never expect anything in Iceland) Colby and his assistant Peyton made sure we still had an amazing experience and that we took advantage of every moment of light, weather pattern, or clear sky possible. They both were organized and made sure we were more then prepared for the trip starting months before the workshop and from the moment we arrived in Iceland everything was well organized. I liked that nothing was too set in stone as this allowed us flexibility to take advantage of the every changing weather conditions. It also helps that Colby has been to Iceland almost 30 times so he definitely knows the country well. The small group size allowed for more personal attention as well as development of camaraderie amongst ourselves, so much that we have planned future workshops together. I'm looking forward to coming back again and wouldn't hesitate to do the exact same workshop as I feel like I only scratched the surface of photographic possibilities to be had in Iceland.
This was my second workshop with Colby, and the adventure exceeded my expectations again!
We had an amazing journey searching for chimpanzees at Kibale Naitonal Park and enjoyed both a land and river safari where we captured incredible images of all types of Ugandan wildlife at Queen Elizabeth National Park. Of course, the highlight of the trip was our trek to find and photograph the Silverback Gorillas in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The name says it all and it left an indelible mark on all of us as we followed our guide literally cutting a path through the jungle to these majestic gorillas. Wow! What a thrill of a lifetime! Seeing them in the wild is absolutely a “must do” bucket list item for all nature lovers out there!.
As an alumnus of the CB photography workshops, the constant themes have been education, high energy, and fun-filled. I also met great people who have become friends for life as we share our love of photography.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for adventure and wanting to grow in their photography skills no matter the level. Well done, Colby!
