Workshop Testimonials
This was my second time traveling with Colby, having gone to India with him in 2023. Based on how well that first trip was run and how much I learned, it was easy to commit to traveling with him again to Mongolia. As with the previous trip, it was an incredible experience. The country is beautiful but expansive, and thanks to a well thought out itinerary and a phenomenal team on the ground, our time was well utilized and travel days never felt like lost time. The locations we visited were all picturesque, posed different artistic questions, and most importantly, provided excellent opportunities for teaching and learning. It was especially helpful to see how Colby approached each setting and subject and worked through how to set up the best photographic opportunities based on the light, potential backgrounds, etc. Throughout the trip we got to interact with, learn from, and photograph a variety of local Mongolians including camel herders in the Gobi, eagle hunters out west, and several different folk music groups. Despite knowing that some of these individuals had been photographed by others, it never felt touristy and there was always the opportunity for good, authentic conversation with our hosts. Throughout the trip we stayed in comfortable hotels and ger camps and got to have one great night at a homestay with a nomadic eagle hunting family. The local food was fresh, hearty, and delicious. We had a great group, with several repeat workshop attendees, and I anticipate us all staying in touch now that we are back stateside. As a final endorsement to traveling with Colby.......I booked my next trip with him less than 48 hours after getting back from this one. I can't recommend him highly enough!
Learning to shoot macro was such an interesting & productive experience - I was really amazed & excited to see what I accomplished! It is so cool to see the outcome of our work! Colby & his helpers were really so great &, although I really had no idea what I was doing, I learned a lot & got some good shots! Thanx so much, Colby, I look forward to your next adventure! Also, as I said before, I am so grateful to the Colby for being so helpful & fun!
The best people, led by the best guide, brought to the best places, added up to I had the BEST TIME! They helped me when I needed and let me do my thing when I didn’t. I will be back for more! I LOVE these guys!
Gorilla trekking in Uganda was one of the most amazing and unforgettable lifetime experiences. The trip was well organized, flexible where needed, and a lot of fun. Tim, our driver navigated through muddy and rough terrain with ease as we travelled from Entebbe to the lush Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. He educated us on his country and the culture. The accommodations Colby chose allowed us to easily interact with the Ugandan people who were kind, friendly and welcoming.
Regarding the gorillas, we had an opportunity to observe two families, both of which had between 4-7 babies. Though this required hiking steep inclines at times you can hire porters at the park to carry your photography equipment and assist individuals that may have difficulty hiking. I was in awe of these primates. Whether it was seeing mischievous babies swinging off vines then falling on top of their mother’s head or watching a silverback stroke his mate’s head while she nursed their baby. These were breathtaking images I’ll never forget.
In addition to the gorilla trekking, we did a river/land safari where we saw lions, hippos, elephants, chimpanzees and various species of birds and small game.
One key aspect that makes Colby’s workshops standout are the sessions he holds throughout the trip to review your photos and offer suggestions on composition, settings and postprocessing. By year-end, I will have attended 4 of his workshops and others on the horizon. As I looked through my earlier photos, Colby has truly made me a much better “photographer”.
We had a small group of really great people. Our guide (Pedro) really knew his shit. He knew the when and where to make amazing photos. Not since the birth of my children have I been as awestruck as when I witnessed the northern lights! This was a trip of a lifetime. I can’t say it loud enough.
I have enjoyed every workshop with Colby. I always come back with incredible photos.
Kenya was my 3rd Colby workshop (Namibia, Costa Rica, and Kenya). I always enjoy the tremendous number of photography opportunities we get on each workshop. In Kenya, we were able to shoot so many different animals in a ton of locations. Just make sure to bring tons of SD cards 🙂
Colby is such a kind, wonderful person with a tremendous wealth of experience. I could not think of a better person to go with.
So, I highly recommend Colby's workshops. I am already planning the next one.
