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.

What a great experience! The land of ice and fire really lived up to its name with our seven days of itinerant workshop in southern Iceland.
Iceland is the realm of contrasts, where you can admire surprising landscapes, extreme nature, indescribable colors, the spectacle of the aurora borealis, geysers, and glaciers, as well as lava deserts and snow-capped peaks! And then the characteristic animals such(…)
as seals and reindeer! A land where glaciers alternate with black deserts, lagoons dotted with icebergs and impressive waterfalls.An island where nature shows itself in all its ruthlessness and in all charm. This workshop allowed us to discover the hidden face of Iceland safely and enjoyably. A group tour made up of a few people, so as to always guarantee the respect and silence necessary to appreciate the places!
Leading the tour is an expert photographer, Pedro, who meticulously followed the program articulating the course with an alternation of theory and practice, communicating naturally and simply.
This workshop is one of a kind, both for the landscapes and for the northern lights. Incredibly Pedro was always up to date on the weather and lighting conditions, always without fail!
In summary, a program respected to the letter, breathtaking locations and high-level accommodations. I would advise all enthusiasts to participate in a workshop of this kind and to visit Iceland, especially in winter!
I had been considering going on a photography workshop for years prior to this trip. During those years, I spent a lot of time exploring the multitude of workshop options available to growing photographers. Colby really stood out because he was consistently said to be a kind and patient teacher, to really want his clients to get great shots (as opposed to only thinking of his own shot), and most importantly(…)
to be laid back and fun to travel with. This trip to India validated all of that and more. I am so happy that I went on my first workshop with him, and I’m certain it won’t be my last. From landing in New Delhi to departing back for home, everything ran smoothly. The lodgings were incredibly comfortable, and the food was plentiful and delicious. The Indian jungle is beautiful and filled with wildlife, most importantly tigers. For our trip, Colby hired an additional tiger expert to ride along with us, which greatly enhanced our sightings and ultimately led to us having the best photographic opportunities possible. Beyond tigers, we were lucky enough to have several rare leopard sighings. In addition to that, there were birds, deer, monkeys, and more. Although tigers were our main focus, if the light was good and the animal was interesting, we took advantage of it. Overall, I can’t recommend this trip enough. India is a special place, it is one of the few areas you can see wild tigers, and Colby has the connections and expertise to put you in the best places to see and photograph these amazing animals!I had been stuck in a photographic rut, suffering from a major lack of motivation for quite some time prior to joining the Iceland winter workshop. Taking a chance and joining this workshop has done wonders for my photography. It really helped me gain new motivation and refined skills moving forward. Colby and Pedro are amazing instructors and also masters of logistics when it came to navigating the(…)
extreme weather we encountered during our trip. I am extremely satisfied with their fortitude and effort when it came down to putting us in the best locations with given weather challenges throughout the duration of the workshop!
