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.

Client Testimonials
Do not be intimidated to sign up for a photo workshop because you’re not an experienced photographer! Colby does an outstanding job of simplifying and teaching concepts, and is more than willing to spend ample time working with you personally. I came in having very little photography background and I learned more than I could of imagined. Not to mention, Colby is very welcoming and easy to get along with.(…)
This was my first experience with photography workshops and it will certainly not be my last. Thanks again for an incredible experience!This was my first workshop with Colby, and I cannot recommend it enough. I love wildlife, and watching majestic jaguars from a boat was just spectacular. Everything about the trip was perfect, from the accommodations to the photos I brought home. Colby is a stellar photographer and really does his best to provide a memorable experience. If you are at all on the fence about taking his Brazil workshop, trust me and go.
I took two workshops with Colby this year. The first was in Patagonia and 2nd one that I just completed was in Namibia. The Patagonia workshop made me feel worth waiting for two years, and the Namibia workshop went beyond my expectation! The Namibia workshop covered photographing landscapes, cultures, and wild animals. Colby provided us with every opportunity he could for us to learn and practice in(…)
photography. Additionally, the workshop included visiting and photographing the Himba tribe, which gave us an opportunity to interact with Himba people and observe their way of living. Colby has a warm heart to humanity that earned my trust and respect. Namibia is a big country with minimum highway infrastructure. During the first week of the trip, we were riding on a bus about 7-8 hours each day from one location to another. My step counter accumulated over 8000 steps every day by simply sitting on the bus alone. Colby made good effort in making us feel comfortable with the ride. Hotels were luxury and food was fantastic, which made it possible for us to regain energy next morning.We were very lucky to have our local guide Abel and beloved driver Peter with us. Both of them provided us history culture lessons and safety net for us to enjoy every place we went. There were full of laughs, humors, storytelling, photography discussions and information sharing among the group members during the entire trip, making me feel we are in a big happy family. Thank Colby for everything you did for us, and I am looking forward to joining you again in the near future!
