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.

My wife and I just returned from an incredible photography adventure to Namibia (Oct 2022) with Colby. As I begin to look at our photos, I still cannot believe everything that we did. We photographed landscapes, people and wildlife. So far my photos look amazing!! Along the way, Colby was always kind, dependable, engaging, thoughtful and the type of person you love to spend time with.
Namibia is a(…)
country that has so much to offer. It is different from any other country I have been to because of the diversity of its landscapes, cultures and wildlife. This makes organizing a trip very complicated. Also in Namibia the distances to travel from one location to another are quite far. Colby always made sure that we were comfortable and was considerate to everyones needs.I have taken workshops with other photographers before. But Colby’s Namibia Workshop was by far the best one I have been a part of. He always made sure that the group was in the right location at the right time. He got to know each photographers preferences and needs and during each photo outing he would check in on everyone and guide them. He used every opportunity to teach and share his experiences. It was true mentorship. We never felt that he was on the trip to take his own photos. He dedicated all his energy and time to the participants. I would go on another workshop with Colby without any hesitation!! Colby Brown has set a new standard for photography workshops!
Colby has a heart of gold!!

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!
After the wonderful experience of Colby’s Iceland Winter Wonderland photo workshop, my wife and I decided that our second workshop with him would be in Costa Rica, as we had a desire to visit the rainforest and the countless plant and animal species.
It was an unforgettable experience, which far exceeded our expectations, thanks to a safe and respectful approach to nature and wildlife!
During the(…)
workshop the theoretical and practical concepts of naturalistic photography were addressed, followed by concrete examples that highlight the photographic language providing the basis for moving independently.The workshop is therefore suitable for those who are fasting with knowledge of photographic language, both for amateur photographers and experienced professionals!
During each of our shooting sessions, Colby worked closely with his participants to make sure that no one fell behind. He shared his insights & thoughts without making things complicated and was always happy to answer questions.
Overall it was a very positive experience! The success of the workshop, in addition to Colby’s skills, was also due to the quality of the participants. Humble, competent, interested, interesting, stimulating!
This workshop allowed me to be creative in a constructive way. Even though English is my second language, this trip helped me grow my knowledge of photography and practice new techniques that has made me a better wildlife photographer.
But Colby has an ace up his sleeve: his collaborators. In this case, the outings have always been amazing thanks to Kenneth, his local guide, to help him with both the technical and scientific knowledge.
