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

Colby has inspired me to work towards becoming a travel and landscape photographer myself! He is an amazing teacher and knows the locations extremely well. I have been on three of his workshops and I have grown from each experience in a different way. Patagonia is beautiful and Colby can find awesome hidden waterfalls as well as encourage you when you are too tired to move from hiking. Don’t forget to find a guanaco while you are there!

We had a very productive workshop in the Lofoten Islands chasing the Aurora Boreales and shooting sunrises and sunsets at stunning seascapes. Pedro Kin and Stan Moniz did a great job finding locations where the Aurora was visible and active. The workshop logistics (transportation, lodging, grocery shopping, ..) ran very smoothly. The group text setup by Pedro was a plus keeping everyone in sync and(…)
communicating next shoot instructions. The cabins were clean, comfortable and roomy. The kitchen was reasonably stocked, but the refrigerator was small and had no freezer, which made food prep a bit of a challenge. All in all, it was a fantastic experience with awesome images and new friends!
This was truly one of the best experiences of my life!! Right from the day we landed to the last shoot, I had a blast in Bolivia with Colby and rest of my new photo friends. The whole trip was planned and executed methodically and made use of the best light conditions every day. We were deprived of sleep, but shooting in the ethereal salt flats made up for it! The team was great to hang out with and I came(…)
out of this trip with valuable memories and friendships that will last for a long time. Colby is a very good teacher and as this was my first astrophotography venture and I had to start with basics. He was patient, and ensured all of us came up with at least one shot, we envisioned for! He is not someone who does a lot a hand holding, but instead asks the right questions and brings out the best in you and lets you discover your innate vision! I will definitely join Colby for future endeavors!
