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

Costa Rica was my first Colby Brown trip and I’m sure it won’t be my last. As a beginner, I was the least experienced photographer in the group, but Colby was patient and taught me about so many of the functions on my Sony A7RIV. In addition, we all learned a lot about Marco and Flash Photography as we took photos of frogs and snakes close up and personal. So much fun!
Each day was different and well(…)
planned out. Kenneth, the local guide was great in finding us birds, frogs, snakes and bats to photograph as well as being an amazing photographer himself, which came in handy as I needed assistance. The other participants in the group were from all over the world and by the end of our short trip we were all friends exchanging contact information. Can’t wait for my next Colby Brown experience!
Colby delivered yet again! The Costa Rica Wildlife workshop was extraordinary. The main focus was birds, and we photographed plenty of them at close range. I came back with images of Quetzals, Toucans, Macaws, hummingbirds, and countless other feathered friends I have never seen anywhere else. We also photographed snakes, bats, and sloths. But my personal favorite were the frogs. I learned a ton about(…)
macro photography and how to apply the correct flash settings thanks to Colby. We had a lot of rain early on, and the roads to our second hotel were wiped out. So, Colby had to scramble to get us into other lodging, and he handled that situation perfectly. It all worked out and made me appreciate how important it is to have a great workshop leader even more. I can’t wait for the next workshop!
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!
