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.

Chasing the almost endless summer light in Iceland is truly a legendary adventure. Colby’s philosophy is to design workshops which provide the most flexibility as possible. Camping throughout the workshop leaves the itinerary wide open and allows him to show you how to chase the light based on up-to-the-minute weather forecasts. His goal is to get his clients to the best locations with the best possible(…)
light. As a photographer, you cannot ask for more from a workshop. Not only will you come home with amazing photos, you will certainly leave a better photographer.
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!
Learning to shoot macro was such an interesting & productive experience – I was really amazed & excited to see what I accomplished! It is so cool to see the outcome of our work! Colby & his helpers were really so great &, although I really had no idea what I was doing, I learned a lot & got some good shots! Thanx so much, Colby, I look forward to your next adventure! Also, as I said before, I am so grateful(…)
to the Colby for being so helpful & fun!
