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…

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.

I have always wanted to visit the wild, unpredictable and rugged landscape of Patagonia and I am really happy I got to finally have this experience through the Wild Patagonia Workshop with Colby & Pedro. Really enjoyed the locations we stayed, the group we travelled with and the photographic knowledge, advice and instruction freely provided by both Colby and Pedro – all made for a great & memorable trip with some awesome photos too !. Thank you!

This was my second time traveling with Colby, having gone to India with him in 2023. Based on how well that first trip was run and how much I learned, it was easy to commit to traveling with him again to Mongolia. As with the previous trip, it was an incredible experience. The country is beautiful but expansive, and thanks to a well thought out itinerary and a phenomenal team on the ground, our time was well(…)
utilized and travel days never felt like lost time. The locations we visited were all picturesque, posed different artistic questions, and most importantly, provided excellent opportunities for teaching and learning. It was especially helpful to see how Colby approached each setting and subject and worked through how to set up the best photographic opportunities based on the light, potential backgrounds, etc. Throughout the trip we got to interact with, learn from, and photograph a variety of local Mongolians including camel herders in the Gobi, eagle hunters out west, and several different folk music groups. Despite knowing that some of these individuals had been photographed by others, it never felt touristy and there was always the opportunity for good, authentic conversation with our hosts. Throughout the trip we stayed in comfortable hotels and ger camps and got to have one great night at a homestay with a nomadic eagle hunting family. The local food was fresh, hearty, and delicious. We had a great group, with several repeat workshop attendees, and I anticipate us all staying in touch now that we are back stateside. As a final endorsement to traveling with Colby…….I booked my next trip with him less than 48 hours after getting back from this one. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
