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…

Client Testimonials

The Costa Rica wildlife photography workshop I attended with Colby was much more than that. It was a fun trip full of exotic locations, comfortable accommodation and a chance to meet fellow photographers. The number of species encountered on this trip was amazing. My favorite part was Macro photography using flash during day and night outings. Colby made it very easy to understand and follow instructions to(…)
setup camera and flash. He was available throughout the trip to answer questions, solve problems and suggest alternatives, doing it always with a smile. My trip to Costa Rica started with delayed a flight and missing connections such that I was not able to meet the group on time the first day. Colby was there to handle the situation gracefully by arranging for a car to pick me up at the airport and bring me to where the group was at the time. The photographic content of the workshop was rich and diverse and provided ample opportunities to capture stunning images. I highly recommend Colby’s workshops!
A very instructive, fun workshop! Colby and Pedro are willing to share all their experiences and knowledge in an open way that makes learning very accessible. It doesn’t matter if they are discussing field techniques, post-processing, or super technical questions. They are a great team that doesn’t look down on a beginner’s mistake or someone who has less knowledge. When you add in a local guide like(…)
Rodrigo and the picture is complete! A great guide/naturalist who is incredibly knowledgeable about the region loves to engage with people and who also happens to be a good photographer himself. In our workshop, our entire group clicked from the first moment, which contributed to the success of the entire trip! I highly recommend Colby and his team to help you discover this beautiful part of the world known as Patagonia. Thank you for this otherworldly amazing trip!
I had the pleasure of joining Colby’s Patagonia workshop in April 2023. The amount of planning and effort put into the tour by Colby and Pedro both ahead of time, as well as on the ground during the trip, were clear from day one.
We got very lucky with the weather and only had one rained-out day, which served as some well-timed downtime for editing photos from the first half the trip. Every other day was(…)
put to good use, with things to do from sunrise to sunset, including a pre-dawn hike to see first light on mount Fitz Roy, to astrophotography; and while the trip focused on landscapes, we still had plenty of opportunities to see wildlife.All of this was supported by behind-the-scenes efforts by Colby and Pedro, who were often awake long before anyone else in the group, checking the weather for sunrise shoots, and making calls about the best way to start the day.
