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!

Client Testimonials

I had a fantastic experience at Colby’s Zion Workshop. I found his advice that he shared throughout the workshop to be very insightful and helpful. Most photographers want to capture those iconic shots at our national parks such as Zion’s Watchman so I especially appreciated his emphasis on approaching things from different perspective that not only allowed us to avoid a few crowds but also gave us the(…)
opportunity to capture some of those iconic shots from a fresh vantage point. In between shooting we had some really great conversations and post processing advice that really completed the experience. I give Colby’s workshop my absolute highest recommendation.
One of my favorite places to visit is Alaska. It offers such unique experiences for both wildlife and landscape. I was somewhat apprehensive about the lengthy ferry ride from Juneau to Haines. What I didn’t foresee was just how beautiful the scenery would be along the journey. Simply spectacular!! There are private cabins available if you just want to relax. The cafeteria on board also serves a delicious(…)
breakfast so it is a stress free trip. Colby’s workshops never disappoint. I was amazed at how close we were to the bald eagles. Each day was filled with abundant opportunities to capture some great action shots. Colby as usual was “coaching” us along the way. As an example, the first day I was on adrenal overload and not getting the best shots. His feedback was to just be patient and read the eagle’s body language and I’ll know when they are about to take flight. Great feedback and when I embraced it, I started to get great shots. At the end of the day we collectively focused on post processing tools: Lightroom, Photoshop, Topaz etc, Our accommodations were great: 4 bedroom house with an amazing view. Colby is a great photo educator and a lot of fun to be around. Looking forward to my next adventure with him.
Right after the 2025 Fourth of July weekend, I set off for Alaska to join a small group of seasoned photographers on a Colby Brown workshop. Our destination: the wild, breathtaking expanse of Katmai National Park. We were based out of Alaska Grizzly Safaris, Jacques Adventure Lodge—a rustic yet comfortable outpost, perfectly suited for the adventure ahead.
Each morning began with a floatplane flight over(…)
shimmering lakes, snow-dusted mountains, and winding marshlands. After a smooth water landing, we’d hike into remote corners of the wilderness, cameras ready, hoping to catch a glimpse of the stars of the show: the Alaskan brown bears. And they did not disappoint. At one point, we counted over 30 bears gathered in a single cove, feasting on salmon during the seasonal run. It was raw, wild nature at its best.The lodge staff made us feel right at home, the food was hearty and delicious, and the pilots and guides were top-notch—skilled, knowledgeable, and always ready with a story or a tip. What made the trip truly special, though, was the camaraderie. Sharing these awe-inspiring moments with such a passionate, supportive group of fellow photographers made the experience even more memorable.
It was an extraordinary week—part wilderness immersion, part photographic pilgrimage—and one I won’t soon forget.
