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…

Colby’s Iceland workshop took me and my son, Parker, so far beyond any vacation experience. It was a chance to see parts of this planet most never get to see, in the kind of light that leaves you without words to describe. Fortunately, words aren’t required to bring home a piece of it. We were all able to capture images of some of the most spectacular sights you can imagine. With Colby’s expert knowledge of(…)
the country, where to find its hidden vistas, and how to really see it in its most amazing light, I was able to take my photographic skills to an entirely new level. I highly recommend this trip with Colby as your guide. It can take you to the top of the world and the peak of your craft. And you should try the lobster pizza. ?Prior to going on Colby’s Iceland photography workshop, I had taken maybe 200-300 photos with a camera in my life. I easily doubled that prior cumulative total each and every day of the workshop. My perspective on his workshop is one from a complete beginner who pretty much knew nothing going into it. I’m not exaggerating when I say I didn’t know what aperture really meant before going. I learned so much(…)
on the workshop, not only from Colby and Pedro who were excellent instructors, but also from the other people on the trip who were mostly experienced photographers and all very interesting people to meet. You probably can find cheaper crash course workshops for photography out there, but I’m sure this one blows them out of the water experientially. Lastly, being surrounded by so many accomplished photographers was tremendously motivational. In between different destinations, I looked at many cool portfolios and listened to many interesting stories about their experiences with this hobby so far.Also, both Colby and Pedro were super familiar with Iceland and it showed. We went to locations based on the weather conditions, with ample places to choose from. They also listened to the group’s opinions if there was a place we especially wanted to check out or even go back to. The flexibility of the logistics of this workshop really highlighted just how much of an expert both of them are on Icelandic points of interest. Honestly, if I had to put money on them versus an average local on who knows the scenery of the island better, I’d put my money on them.
If I were to do it again I think I’d be more proactive in asking for advice (especially as a beginner), but all in all, this is an incredible experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend. If you think you’re too inexperienced for something like this, then I hope you’ll give it a try anyway because I did and I don’t regret it.
Amazing trip! Not only were the physical locations absolutely stunning but the atmosphere created by everyone on the trip was an experience like no other. I’ve never been in the same room as so many like-minded people in terms of photography and Colby and Pedro were the perfect guides throughout it all. Hopefully, I have the chance to join up with them in the future on another adventure!
