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.

This is my third photo workshop with Colby and on each trip there was so much fun and learning that I keep coming back to his workshops!
Colby has a deep knowledge of the places, he took us to the best sites for the best light, he was always available to help in the fields. He also teaches us post-processing with photoshop & lightroom in the evenings. His approach is tailored for individual needs. Sony(…)
camera shooters also get extra benefits because Colby knows the camera in and out. I would strongly recommend Colby to anyone in search of a workshop and I am looking forward to joining him in my next workshop.The sounds, the colors and the tastes of India and an opportunity to participate in a photography workshop focused on Bengal Tigers! What’s not to like? I couldn’t wait for my opportunity to set my lenses on the eye of a tiger.
When Colby posted his plans for workshop in India, I was eager to sign up! This was my 4th workshop adventure with Colby, so I already knew that he will have thoroughly researched(…)
the best places to go with the highest probability of tiger sightings! I also know that even in the most challenging locations, he has seen to all the logistics that make the trip run smoothly. A terrific network of contacts who have local knowledge makes navigating throughout the trip seem simple. We traveled to Tadoba and Bandavgarh National Parks located south of New Delhi. Our safaris were very productive. Colby is a great person to travel with and an outstanding coach. No matter where you are on the photography continuum, Colby has insights on techniques, technology, and software that make you a better photographer. On each trip, I come away looking forward to applying newfound skills and to the next adventure!The Dolomites workshop with Pedro and Udo in October this year did not disappoint. This is my second trip with Colby Brown Photography and Pedro and the experience was every bit as good as my first in Patagonia.
The Dolomites is a landscape photographer’s dream, particularly in the autumn as the colours are changing The area is very photogenic and can be very atmospheric.
Pedro and Udo were tireless in(…)
taking us to some fantastic locations both at sunrise and sunset with plenty in between.Their organization was like a well oiled machine and both took great care to communicate the plans, look after us on the walks/hikes.
Their ability to share their photography knowledge enthusiastically was well appreciated by all, offering tips on both settings and composition.
The group make up was excellent and we all learned from each other, both in the field and in processing. This makes these workshops extra special.
The days are long but well worth it!
The only aspect they couldn’t control was the weather, but they could read it very well and they certainly made sure we had great photo opportunities none the less with some great day time trips too.
Time for processing was limited as the days were full, but plenty of photos to process when home.
Their ethos, skill and enthusiasm is what made the workshop unmissable.
Looking forward to the next one!
