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

What an experience! We traveled to some amazing locations and received great guidance from Colby and Peyton. I’m a better photographer because of it. The group size was ideal and the other photographers were motivating and fun to be around. I have memories that will last a lifetime.

As a frequent workshop attendee, I’ve seen the good and bad of workshops. Colby and Pedro does it right. They make sure their client’s interests come first, putting you where you need to be at the right time. Another bonus is their flexibility to help clients with special interests. Lastly, and maybe most important to me, is that they do not overpack their vehicles with too many people. After all, comfort(…)
makes a big difference when spending 7-10 days with your new best friends!
This was my first photography specific workshop and first true international excursion. Up until the arrival in San Jose there was plenty of communication and trip info provided yet there was still the unknown of 2 weeks in a foreign country with a group of strangers. Colby and team picked everyone up at the respective hotels and within 15 minutes we had everyone loaded and on the way to the jungle. Maybe it(…)
was luck or kismet but our group instantly became friends and we could not have been more excited. Colby and his partner Kenneth Martinez were the consumate hosts with every destination thoroughly planned out and executed to perfection. Although our group was well seasoned on photography we still learned a ton of wildlife tips and tricks beyond what we brought. Colby was incredibly well versed in all things photography but at the same time was incredibly patient and intuitive with his instruction. Especially with our macro flash photography sessions with reptiles and amphibians. It’s also worth noting that Colby and team aren’t just go here, shoot this with their workshops, they include so much of the local culture, language and customs that you are able to immerse yourself with the people that live and work there. Colby and I enjoyed a little inside joke wherein I would ask if we would see “a Sloth or a Fer de Lance” in between destinations and Colby would just smile and say “It’s possible….but not guaranteed… (we saw both)” So would I recommend and embark on another workshop with Colby? Highly likely and guaranteed!
