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 enjoyed every moment of the eagle workshop in Alaska with Colby. We saw more bald eagles than I could count every day and had plenty of opportunities for taking good photos close into the action. The surroundings were stunningly beautiful with snowy peaks visible in every direction. It was a fantastic opportunity to improve my wildlife photography skills. I also learned a lot from our evenings spent(…)
editing photos and Colby was very patient with his explanations, answering all my questions about using lightroom and photoshop.Visiting the wildlife preserve during the week was a unique experience and a highlight, we were able to photograph a lynx, a wolverine, a red fox, and a snowy owl up close.
I highly recommend this workshop to anyone who likes wildlife!
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 & Predro. 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!
I had been considering going on a photography workshop for years prior to this trip. During those years, I spent a lot of time exploring the multitude of workshop options available to growing photographers. Colby really stood out because he was consistently said to be a kind and patient teacher, to really want his clients to get great shots (as opposed to only thinking of his own shot), and most importantly(…)
to be laid back and fun to travel with. This trip to India validated all of that and more. I am so happy that I went on my first workshop with him, and I’m certain it won’t be my last. From landing in New Delhi to departing back for home, everything ran smoothly. The lodgings were incredibly comfortable, and the food was plentiful and delicious. The Indian jungle is beautiful and filled with wildlife, most importantly tigers. For our trip, Colby hired an additional tiger expert to ride along with us, which greatly enhanced our sightings and ultimately led to us having the best photographic opportunities possible. Beyond tigers, we were lucky enough to have several rare leopard sighings. In addition to that, there were birds, deer, monkeys, and more. Although tigers were our main focus, if the light was good and the animal was interesting, we took advantage of it. Overall, I can’t recommend this trip enough. India is a special place, it is one of the few areas you can see wild tigers, and Colby has the connections and expertise to put you in the best places to see and photograph these amazing animals!
