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.

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!

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 absolutely loved our Costa Rica Workshop. We went to incredible locations and took so many great photos. It is very apparent that Colby loves Costa Rica, Photography but mostly he loves sharing his knowledge. He found the best locations, with guides that showed us things that we could never see if we were going on our own. You can immediately tell how many times he has been to Costa Rica from the(…)
connections he has made of years of repeated visits.I met Colby in October 2022 when I joined his Namibia workshop. So going on another workshop with him 3 months later says it all. In fact, we had 4 participants from our Namibia workshop that joined the Costa Rica workshop. As they say “birds of a feather flock together” pun intended. Colby, is able to to attract fun, interesting and kind participants that are joy to spend 10 days with. We have formed friendships that will go on for years and years.
I am already planning my next Colby adventure! I cannot recommend him high enough as a person and photographer.
