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 can’t wait to have the opportunity to take another trip with Colby. I feel I learned so much more than just photography skills. Colby’s knowledge of the area, tips and guidance is immensely appreciated and I was welcomed by an amazing group of photographers. I enjoyed every second of our trip and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a professional photography workshop.

Truth to be said .. this is not a sit-back-and-shoot vacation trip, but the results are worth it!
First of all, getting into Bolivia was complete chaos. This is not a fault of Colby, but simply the Bolivian government’s disdain for American tourists. Be prepared to spend 45 minutes to 2 hour per person at immigration on landing. Other than that, the rest of the trip was smooth sailing. Colby and his(…)
guide/drivers took good care of us. The nights were long and we had 4-5 hours of sleep each night before shooting followed by a few hours of sleep after breakfast. The high elevation doesn’t really help either.However, looking back on the trip, we had a great time shooting, learning from each other, and lusting after new equipment that someone bought.
Colby is an incredible coach and you will learn new techniques even if you already have many years of shooting under your belt.
This is my fifth adventure trip with Colby and I’ve enjoyed every single one of them!

Another educational and enjoyable workshop with Colby Brown, joined this time by guides Albert Dros and Cruz Quinn who were also excellent. We stayed in a very nice hotel overlooking the ice fjord and close to the harbour. Every night we went out on the 2 sailing boats to look for photo opportunities and took it in turns posing for each other with the red sails up. Depending on where you come from sleep(…)
patterns are rather disrupted with being out on the boats from around 10pm-6am every day and then sleeping during the day. Sunlight was 24 hours in July with the sun dipping to the horizon around 2am providing some beautiful light for photography. The icebergs are very impressive and quite surreal, we were lucky with good weather every day. We ate out at a local settlement one night where we saw sled dog puppies and a couple of whales on the way there. It was also the first time I had used a drone and with help and support from the guides I got some good images and video from the air too. It got chilly on the boats but they are very comfortable with seating areas for warming up inside, great crew, good supplies of hot drinks and snacks and equipped with toilets. I definitely recommend this workshop to visit a special place and for some unique landscape photographs of icebergs.
