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

This Iceland winter workshop was my first workshop. I couldn’t have selected better pros than Colby and Pedro and a better group! The conditions were very challenging. But, right from tracking the famous Northern Lights to finding the right conditions for the Ice Cave visit, these two were totally on top of it. Very responsive before, during, and after the trip.
They were very compassionate and there was(…)
great camaraderie within the group. Keep it up, guys!Strongly recommended.

When I signed up for the workshop with Colby in the Pantanal, I didn’t really know what to expect. This was my first trip with Colby and my first photography workshop ever! About two months before the trip, his other clients had an emergency and had to push their Pantanal trip to the following year, leaving just my Mom, Colby, and I on the workshop list. Instead of canceling the whole trip, he kept it on,(…)
leaving me with a private 1 on 1 trip with Colby. The amount of stuff I learned was unreal, and surpassed anything I could have expected. The instruction was given in a way that I could understand and apply to the next interaction we had with an animal. Colby always put me first, ensuring we had the best spot to photograph the elusive cats that are jaguars. Colby always had a smile on his face, and even when we were waking up at 5AM, he maintained a positive energy, and a joyful mood. His workshops are something I cannot recommend enough for any photographer of any level, as you won’t be disappointed with the tailored experience that you receive when you participate on one of these wild adventures.
Colby and his outstanding Costa Rican bird expert, Kenneth, made this a successful and very memorable trip. As a biologist, I had been wanting to go to Costa Rica for decades, and this workshop exceeded my expectations. I photographed dozens of wildlife species that were completely new to me — birds, a sloth, frogs, snakes, and nectar-feeding bats. I also had no previous experience with using flash to(…)
photograph the latter three species groups, so those sessions were instructive and produced great photos, too. Much to my surprise, we also saw iconic male Quetzal birds in the cloud forest. Colby chose excellent and easily-accessible locations for photographing a diverse range of wildlife, at both feeders and in the wild. The accommodations were generally very good, even though some of them were quite remote. The workshop attracted a fun group of serious photographers, so the week was both amusing and rewarding. I highly recommend this workshop to others!
