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 was fortunate enough to take a recent trip with Colby Brown to Costa Rica, and it was fantastic!
Colby manages to be spot on every day in spite of being pestered all day with my repetitive questions and comments. He somehow wrangles cats without ever losing his composure, sense of humor, or delightful temperament! Several times (likely everyday) I would find myself struggling with either the camera(…)
settings or spotting a subject and without even asking he would magically be at my side helping me out no matter what the issue. Our group of eight people quickly morphed into a very cohesive and well natured bunch mostly because of Colby’s seamless efforts and good nature.He not only found some of the best places to view and photograph wildlife in Costa Rica but also located the best local guides to help us appreciate them!
I now plan to accompany him again on other wonderful adventures throughout the world whenever I get the opportunity!

This trip to Namibia was my second trip with Colby and I plan on a third with him in January 2023 in Costa Rica. Colby has traveled globally for decades and has a deep understanding of each country where he offers workshops. This is advantageous for us as he has done all the advanced groundwork and location scouting, optimizing our time. Colby also secured the best accommodations as we traveled to each spot(…)
in Namibia. Both workshop groups were small enough for individual attention when needed and diverse enough to provide each other with our unique photographic perspectives. We ranged in age from early 20’s to mid-70’s and varied in our skill level but we were a cohesive and mutually supportive group. I look forward to photographing hummingbirds and learning new macro skills with Colby in January.
I recently went to India to do a Photographic Workshop, mostly photographing wild tigers. This was my second workshop with Colby, so I had high expectations, but these expectations were exceeded and some! This was for just over 2 weeks to experience India as a whole. We started in Delhi and went to Jaipur, the pink city, Agra, the Taj Mahal, and Agra Fort. We had some tours in these cities set up by Colby,(…)
and everything went smoothly. It gave us an excellent feel and experience of India as a country, especially the people, which was a great bonus. Of course, the Taj Mahal was magnificent and needs to be seen if you are going to India. In addition, we got to go to Bharatpur Bird Sanctaury, which was beautiful and set by Colby and his team with a wonderful local guide. We enjoyed it so much that we went there twice, once on the way to Agra and once on the way back to Delhi after seeing the Taj.The Tiger experience was terrific in two different Tiger Reserves, specifically Dudhwa and Ranthambore, which have different experiences. In 14 game drives, I had 16 Tiger sightings with multiple tigers in each sighting, which created wonderful photo opportunities. We saw Tigers close up, walking towards us, in family groups, drinking, swimming, splashing, and chasing antelope in the water. It was just way better than I expected.
We had a wonderful group of seven photographers with two non-photographers (spouses), so lots of room in three safari gypsys. Colby is a truly special tour leader! He finds time to spend with all of us and handles people and issues so well. I can’t wait for my next trip with Colby and highly recommend him for any Photographic worships – he is the best!!
