Workshop Testimonials

Sandy Stolzman
An Unforgettable Journey - The Great Migration

I recently had the privilege of embarking on a photography workshop in Kenya led by Colby Brown, and I can confidently say that it was a transformative experience that exceeded all my expectations. #1 on my bucket list!

Kenya's natural beauty is simply awe-inspiring, and Colby curated a workshop itinerary that showcased Kenya’s vast amount of wildlife . Colby's knowledge of the area was evident as he led us to the best vantage points and patiently waited for the perfect moments to capture the magic of Kenya's wildlife and landscapes.

We had the chance to interact with local communities, learn about their traditions, and capture their daily lives through our lenses. It added depth and authenticity to our photography, allowing us to tell meaningful stories through our images. Upon returning home, I found myself in possession of a trove of unforgettable images that will endure a lifetime. Each time I reflect on my adventures with Colby, I uncover hidden treasures in my photographic collection. If you're an impassioned photography enthusiast, eager to explore the world through your lens, I wholeheartedly endorse joining one of Colby Brown's workshops – it's an investment in both your photography skills and your very soul.

PS: Food and lodging were excellent on the “Great Migration Workshop “

Focused workshop on Fitz Roy and Torres del Paine!

A very focused workshops on iconic images of Fitz Roy and Torres del Paine. Throughout the workshop I learned a ton and was able to try many new techniques and approaches with my photography. A big thanks Colby and Pedro!

Madeleine Punde
Patagonia, the Light Seekers

There we were, in one of the most remote southernly parts of the American continent, waiting for the light… and it finally came.
I must say that this photo workshop was very well managed by Colby and his partner in crime Michael. We were at the right spot at the right time to benefit from the best creative environment possible. Colby’s scouting, experience and knowledge made it worth the entire investment.

We got to stay on this beautiful island, with one of most spectacular view points of Torres Del Paine which was perfect for early morning shooting. I will always remember the night hike. The starry sky was just so ominously fascinating and gave rise to the morning light on Mont Fitz Roy, which captivated, inspired and lead to amazing shots, a journey in itself.

Now about Colby… After years of practicing photography and doing some small workshops, I decided that I had to get THE experience of a lifetime. This was my first experience on a photo workshop with Colby Brown Photography. I had seen him in webinars, watched some of his blogs and I really appreciated the way he teaches. I was not disappointed, Colby is exactly the same in person, nothing to hide, all to give. Plus, I gained a wealth of information from all the highly experienced participants.

I would definitely go back to Colby Brown Photography Workshop for another epic journey.

Michael Evans
Another Epic Adventure!

This is my 4th trip with Colby and I am already looking forward to the next one. Bolivia is a wonderful country to visit and the astro opportunities are boundless (didn't sleep much due to the schedule and the 15000+ feet altitude, but that's the price one must pay. The trips for me are just the right mix of adventure, people and fabulous shooting opportunities. Colby and team get us in the right place at the right time...and then magic. Although I have been a photographer for more than 20 years, I learn something during each trip and I really enjoy the 1:1 instruction.

Fatrice Borden
Big 5 and Beyond!!

Colby’s workshop gave us the chance to photograph the Big Five—and so much more. We stayed in both Amboseli and the Maasai Mara, each offering stunning landscapes, incredible game drives, and unforgettable sunsets. On our very first drive in the Mara, we witnessed the migration—a stunning moment! BellaCamp was our base: safe, comfortable, amazing food and warm with attentive staff. Falling asleep to the sounds of wildlife, and knowing the Maasai people were keeping watch, made it feel both peaceful and magical. As a fan of photographing cubs, I was thrilled to capture young leopards, lions, hippos, rhinos, cheetahs, and hyenas. Also several elephant calves. Colby and Simon (our expert guide) always positioned us perfectly for the best shots. Each day in the field outdid the last, and visiting a local Maasai village was also a powerful cultural highlight.

Thank you, Colby, for another unforgettable adventure!

Cheryl King
Mind-blowing Photography Experience!!

I am a wildlife artist 1st and a photographer 2nd, so the wealth of knowledge and resources I gathered this trip was phenomenal. Best of all Colby led us with humor, grace and experience. If my pockets were deep enough I would take all of his workshops around the world without hesitation!
