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.

One of my favorite places to visit is Alaska. It offers such unique experiences for both wildlife and landscape. I was somewhat apprehensive about the lengthy ferry ride from Juneau to Haines. What I didn’t foresee was just how beautiful the scenery would be along the journey. Simply spectacular!! There are private cabins available if you just want to relax. The cafeteria on board also serves a delicious(…)
breakfast so it is a stress free trip. Colby’s workshops never disappoint. I was amazed at how close we were to the bald eagles. Each day was filled with abundant opportunities to capture some great action shots. Colby as usual was “coaching” us along the way. As an example, the first day I was on adrenal overload and not getting the best shots. His feedback was to just be patient and read the eagle’s body language and I’ll know when they are about to take flight. Great feedback and when I embraced it, I started to get great shots. At the end of the day we collectively focused on post processing tools: Lightroom, Photoshop, Topaz etc, Our accommodations were great: 4 bedroom house with an amazing view. Colby is a great photo educator and a lot of fun to be around. Looking forward to my next adventure with him.
Seeing hundreds of bald eagles in Alaska was an incredible experience, and something I’d never forget.
The workshop was so well organized. Colby provided detailed instructions right from booking the workshop, helped us bring the right gear – both camera gear and winter gear. From the minute we met him, he made himself available to all of us – whether it’s editing or shooting tips, or driving us around(…)
anywhere we need to. Colby is also very fun to hang out with, and he constantly drops tips and tricks.If you join any of his workshops, I highly recommend asking questions and being proactive in getting what you want from the workshop.
In our bald eagle workshop, his other attendees were also great people. Some of them have a ton of wildlife experience, so I learned a bunch from them as well.

A wonderfully diverse brown bear workshop. The week provided an array of opportunities to observe and photograph bears fishing, clamming, eating sedge grass, and more. We were fortunate to see countless spring clubs. I never imagined just how many bears we would see. The lodge staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. All were committed to ensure we had the best experience possible. We were treated like(…)
family.Colby has crafted the workshop to maximize the best viewing opportunities with flexible transportation methods and scheduling. The plane rides offered spectacular views while delivering us to pristine locations where we were most often the only people present.
We had a great group. The week was filled with bears, laughter and fun. Colby manages to maintain a relaxed atmosphere during the jam packed days. Colby is gifted in answering questions in a comprehensive manner that is easy to understand and apply. This was my first workshop with Colby but it definitely will not be my last!
