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
After the wonderful experience of Colby’s Iceland Winter Wonderland photo workshop, my wife and I decided that our second workshop with him would be in Costa Rica, as we had a desire to visit the rainforest and the countless plant and animal species.
It was an unforgettable experience, which far exceeded our expectations, thanks to a safe and respectful approach to nature and wildlife!
During the(…)
workshop the theoretical and practical concepts of naturalistic photography were addressed, followed by concrete examples that highlight the photographic language providing the basis for moving independently.The workshop is therefore suitable for those who are fasting with knowledge of photographic language, both for amateur photographers and experienced professionals!
During each of our shooting sessions, Colby worked closely with his participants to make sure that no one fell behind. He shared his insights & thoughts without making things complicated and was always happy to answer questions.
Overall it was a very positive experience! The success of the workshop, in addition to Colby’s skills, was also due to the quality of the participants. Humble, competent, interested, interesting, stimulating!
This workshop allowed me to be creative in a constructive way. Even though English is my second language, this trip helped me grow my knowledge of photography and practice new techniques that has made me a better wildlife photographer.
But Colby has an ace up his sleeve: his collaborators. In this case, the outings have always been amazing thanks to Kenneth, his local guide, to help him with both the technical and scientific knowledge.
Colby Brown leads a fantasic workshop that heeds well to all levels of experience. If you are a complete beginner or a seasoned photographer just looking to sharpen your skill set, you will find the instruction and guidance that you need. I’ve been on 2 workshops, both Iceland summer tour as well as Wild Patagonia. Each time I came away with a better understanding and direction on where I want my photography(…)
to go and have no problem recommending his workshops. He understands weather very well and is always flexible on his decisions leading to a greater chance at making a compelling photograph.Cheers!
I have always wanted to visit the wild, unpredictable and rugged landscape of Patagonia and I am really happy I got to finally have this experience through the Wild Patagonia Workshop with Colby & Pedro. Really enjoyed the locations we stayed, the group we travelled with and the photographic knowledge, advice and instruction freely provided by both Colby and Pedro – all made for a great & memorable trip with some awesome photos too !. Thank you!
