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

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.

Having just returned from a workshop with Colby in Uganda, I am still absorbing the impact of our extraordinary experience in Africa. Colby orchestrated an intense itinerary for our group. Along with our local guide, we were comprised five Americans and two Australians. Although we each came from different backgrounds and ages, all were incredibly supportive and helpful to one another whether we had(…)
photography questions or physical challenges. From our arrival in Entebbe to the culmination of our trip into the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest to track two gorilla families, Colby’s expertise, talent, and local knowledge offered us a unique insider’s perspective. Each day was carefully planned, and our wildlife encounters could not have been more remarkable. My only complaint is that I wish our time together did not come to an end. To compensate for this, I have already booked my next adventure with Colby in Namibia!
I had been considering going on a photography workshop for years prior to this trip. During those years, I spent a lot of time exploring the multitude of workshop options available to growing photographers. Colby really stood out because he was consistently said to be a kind and patient teacher, to really want his clients to get great shots (as opposed to only thinking of his own shot), and most importantly(…)
to be laid back and fun to travel with. This trip to India validated all of that and more. I am so happy that I went on my first workshop with him, and I’m certain it won’t be my last. From landing in New Delhi to departing back for home, everything ran smoothly. The lodgings were incredibly comfortable, and the food was plentiful and delicious. The Indian jungle is beautiful and filled with wildlife, most importantly tigers. For our trip, Colby hired an additional tiger expert to ride along with us, which greatly enhanced our sightings and ultimately led to us having the best photographic opportunities possible. Beyond tigers, we were lucky enough to have several rare leopard sighings. In addition to that, there were birds, deer, monkeys, and more. Although tigers were our main focus, if the light was good and the animal was interesting, we took advantage of it. Overall, I can’t recommend this trip enough. India is a special place, it is one of the few areas you can see wild tigers, and Colby has the connections and expertise to put you in the best places to see and photograph these amazing animals!
