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.

I recently participated in a photography tour in Costa Rica, and it exceeded all my expectations. The trip was incredibly well-organized, featuring a packed and fascinating agenda while still allowing flexibility for unforeseen weather conditions. The selection of lodges and restaurants was excellent, providing comfort and great local cuisine. The photography opportunities were outstanding, with abundant(…)
chances to capture birds, frogs, snakes, and even sloths. Colby and Ken were exceptional photographers and instructors, dedicating plenty of time to coaching us on all aspects of bird photography and macro photography. Their guidance made a huge difference in improving my skills. Most of the shooting was done comfortably in the shade, with chairs provided and only short walks required—no physical fitness necessary! This tour is suitable and beneficial for both professional (almost all of my teammates) and amateur (like myself) photographers. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature and has a passion for photography. It’s a truly unforgettable experience!
…to learn and grow.
I had no expectations as I prepared for Colby’s workshop in Myanmar. What I wanted the most from this trip was the experience of exploring an ancient culture and the opportunity for an amazing adventure, but what I walked away with was so much more.
One of the things I really appreciated the most about working with Colby is the way he pushes you beyond your boundaries in photography.(…)
Until this workshop, I spent most of my time photographing in aperture priority mode with auto-focus. This workshop encouraged me to explore and embrace my camera’s manual mode. Now, I’m not new to manual mode–I spend every Milky Way season in manual mode and manual focus–but shooting the night sky in manual isn’t really a challenge. However, when you’re in conditions with fast-changing and dynamic lighting, you really need to think about how each setting affects your image. Colby’s deep technical knowledge and his ability to teach will leave a lasting impression on you as a student… no question is too simple nor too complex.Thank you Colby (and Erin and Koye!) for an amazing but exhausting trip in Myanmar. This was an experience I will never forget and l’m looking forward to my next adventure with Colby.

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 “
