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.

I saw his name on the internet, took a leap of faith, & immediately sent my deposit for the 2023 trip to Brazil. I had never met Colby before this trip but, wow, did I luck out with meeting him, traveling with him, learning from him. Luckily, most of the guests shoot with the same camera(s) (Sony) & even though I have been able to get decent shots before Brazil, Colby taught me how to get so much more out of(…)
my cameras. He is so knowledgeable, so patient, so friendly & kind (& even funny!)I am so happy to be an “alumnus” – I have not even been home a week yet & even though I have been there before, I booked a trip to Uganda with him, knowing that I will have a great experience & learn so much more!

I went on the Costa Rica trip….January 2025. It was a great trip with a lot of interesting people. Colby and the people he hired were helpful at all times. One of our stops we couldn’t get to because of the rains……but, the stop they found in place of it was wonderful. When Colby says bring toiletries……assume they have nothing in the hotels. Definitely bring a raincoat. I didn’t need a second pair(…)
of shoes. The camera you are comfortable with is fine……but, get the flash and wireless commander that Colby recommends (my commander didn’t work……I was lucky that I could borrow one from someone else. All in all it was a great trip and I really enjoyed learning about shooting macro!
This was my fourth workshop with Colby, and like every trip I’ve taken with him, it exceeded expectations. Seeing wild tigers up close in India was absolutely thrilling—and thanks to Colby’s guidance, I came home with some of the best images I’ve ever taken. His knowledge of wildlife behavior, lighting, and composition is outstanding, but what really sets him apart is how fun and easy he makes the whole(…)
experience. Every day was a mix of adventure, great conversation, and photography magic. If you’re serious about improving your photography while having an incredible time in the field, this is the kind of workshop you don’t want to miss. I already can’t wait for the next one!
