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.

The Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt flat in the world, is breathtaking. Just standing in the middle of its 2,496,000 acres, with the vast expanse of Andean Dark Sky and millions of stars suspended over you, is well worth the price of admission. But of course, this is a Colby Brown workshop so there is so much more! Based on Colby’s extensive travel in South America, you are skillfully guided to some of the(…)
more remote and untraveled areas in South America — places where few Nortemaricanos go. You get authoritative training to do things like Astro panoramas or stacking high-resolution shots of the galactic core, and other tricks of the trade. There is a night in a remote Andean lodge at 15,000 ft near the famous Lago Colorado and its flamingos. There is time to explore La Paz, Bolivia, where I had one of the best meals of my life. But perhaps the best thing about Colby Brown workshops is the amazing and interesting people they attract. In each workshop, I get new lifelong friends. Bolivia was no exception!
How to summarize this in a few words ? Amazing, challenging (a lot !), impressive, and always entertaining. Iceland in winter, even if the sun was with us during the whole trip, is an experience in itself. Colby knows how to bring this experience to a special level, how to help you to feel comfortable in rough situations (wow, this crazy icelandic wind and this stupid tripod…) and to focus yourself on what(…)
you have to do. It doesn’t matter if your feet are wet or if you have to get tired to reach a special spot in order to get a better shot. The key is to get the best from yourself, and Colby helps you to make yourself more confident. Thank you for that. Besides, he’s a totally “accessible” guy (not sure if this is the right translation of this word in english, I hope you’ll know what I mean ;-)), and it means something.
Late in October 2023, I received a call from my friend, Warren Treacher, asking me if I would like to accompany him to Costa Rica in January 2024. After much thought (for an hour or so) I signed up for the Colby Brown Costa Rica Photography Workshop. To say I am pleased with this company is an understatement! All the people involved were experts in their field: from the chauffeur to the guides to Colby(…)
himself, all were in top form. We visited four different locales, each providing unique photographic experiences. Every day, Colby seemed to pull magic out of his sleeve, which only increased daily! He is an expert photographer who is very knowledgeable in all camera formats. He never tired of having to answer the same questions every day. His calm demeanor was refreshing to experience.Colby was clear before we went out on our experiences about what camera lenses we should use and what items we would need to bring to make that experience comfortable. The chauffeur, Wilson, was an unbelievable driver. He was always cautious, never got lost and at times would fill us in on the history of his country. The chief guide, Ken, was an expert birder and photographer who would help us with bird identification and our photography. A bonus was the group we went with. All the people who participated in the workshop were fun-loving and experienced photographers which added to the experience. I cannot recommend Colby Brown’s workshop highly enough to anyone interested in world travel and nature photography!
