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 had been delaying a trip to Alaska because I was overthinking the details and wasn’t sure of the best places to go for brown bear photography. A spot opened up for Colby’s “Alaskan Brown Bears” workshop and I jumped on it. The trip turned out to be fantastic! We were able to photograph a lot of bears (over 30 in one location) under the best conditions. Colby knows all the optimal places to go and has a(…)
great relationship with the lodge owners who treat everyone so well and make you feel like part of the family. Every day was an adventure as we headed out to the most bear dense locations by float plane. The itinerary is flexible to maximize viewing opportunities in case the bears are in unexpected locations. Colby, the lodge owners and guides are all so passionate about making sure you have the best trip possible. I did not know any of the other group members when we started but by the end I felt like I’d made some great new friends. It was a fun group to adventure with and hang out and collaborate with at the end of each day. Hiking through the Alaskan wilderness was amazing and the view of the landscapes from the float planes was beyond beautiful. If you want to experience the magnificence of Alaska all while photographing and filming the largest coastal brown bears on earth this is the trip to take!
Late in October 2023, I received a call from my friend, Warren Treacher, asking me if I would like to accompany him to Costa Rica in January 2024. After much thought (for an hour or so) I signed up for the Colby Brown Costa Rica Photography Workshop. To say I am pleased with this company is an understatement! All the people involved were experts in their field: from the chauffeur to the guides to Colby(…)
himself, all were in top form. We visited four different locales, each providing unique photographic experiences. Every day, Colby seemed to pull magic out of his sleeve, which only increased daily! He is an expert photographer who is very knowledgeable in all camera formats. He never tired of having to answer the same questions every day. His calm demeanor was refreshing to experience.Colby was clear before we went out on our experiences about what camera lenses we should use and what items we would need to bring to make that experience comfortable. The chauffeur, Wilson, was an unbelievable driver. He was always cautious, never got lost and at times would fill us in on the history of his country. The chief guide, Ken, was an expert birder and photographer who would help us with bird identification and our photography. A bonus was the group we went with. All the people who participated in the workshop were fun-loving and experienced photographers which added to the experience. I cannot recommend Colby Brown’s workshop highly enough to anyone interested in world travel and nature photography!

The Italian Alps is one of my favorite places in the world, especially with the larches in full display. No better way to photograph these otherworldly landscapes than with Pedro and Ugo who know the area extremely well and are experienced guides. The workshop is extremely organized and Pedro and Ugo know where to go with the variable weather and cloud coverage. Extremely happy to have joined this workshop(…)
and recommend signing up…and bringing a drone!
