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 have gone on a number of workshops with Colby and never been disappointed. This recent trip to the Pantanal for jaguars was no exception. My anticipation was quickly rewarded the moment I laid eyes on that first jaguar walking along the river bank. As with other CB wildlife workshops, the proximity we were to the jaguars was an absolute thrill!! My first thought was “Nope, I’m definitely not at the zoo!”(…)
That said, Colby, Fernando and the drivers made sure we were always safe and taking no risks. In addition to shooting the jaguars and their cute cubs, we also captured ocelots, caiman, otters and a variety of monkeys and birds. Each day was divided into morning and afternoon sessions. This structure worked well because of the blistery heat we were experiencing. It also gave us an opportunity to backup our photos, review and make any corrections before going out again. Colby always made himself available for questions.The lodging was very good and so was the food. Had a great variety including some traditional Brazilian cuisine. I fell in love with their cheese balls! They are a MUST! The one thing I would change for myself is learning more basic Portuguese. Thanks to our guide Fernando and Al, a fellow participant, I managed.
I highly recommend this workshop and any other one Colby offers. Each will provide you with an unforgettable experience. Colby is always upbeat and a blast to be around. Always keeps you laughing. He is an excellent photographer and his “teaching” style is wonderful. Can’t go wrong joining any of his adventures. Oh,don’t forget the bug spray!!!
We had an excellent trip with Colby Brown, Jay Patel, and Varina Patel. The trip was well put together and we saw much of the big island. We felt we learned more about landscape photography and photography in general than in any other workshop we have attended. Many techniques were new to us and have improved our approach to photography.
This was my second workshop with Colby, and the adventure exceeded my expectations again!
We had an amazing journey searching for chimpanzees at Kibale Naitonal Park and enjoyed both a land and river safari where we captured incredible images of all types of Ugandan wildlife at Queen Elizabeth National Park. Of course, the highlight of the trip was our trek to find and photograph the Silverback Gorillas(…)
in the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The name says it all and it left an indelible mark on all of us as we followed our guide literally cutting a path through the jungle to these majestic gorillas. Wow! What a thrill of a lifetime! Seeing them in the wild is absolutely a “must do” bucket list item for all nature lovers out there!.As an alumnus of the CB photography workshops, the constant themes have been education, high energy, and fun-filled. I also met great people who have become friends for life as we share our love of photography.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for adventure and wanting to grow in their photography skills no matter the level. Well done, Colby!
