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.

Another educational and enjoyable workshop with Colby Brown, joined this time by guides Albert Dros and Cruz Quinn who were also excellent. We stayed in a very nice hotel overlooking the ice fjord and close to the harbour. Every night we went out on the 2 sailing boats to look for photo opportunities and took it in turns posing for each other with the red sails up. Depending on where you come from sleep(…)
patterns are rather disrupted with being out on the boats from around 10pm-6am every day and then sleeping during the day. Sunlight was 24 hours in July with the sun dipping to the horizon around 2am providing some beautiful light for photography. The icebergs are very impressive and quite surreal, we were lucky with good weather every day. We ate out at a local settlement one night where we saw sled dog puppies and a couple of whales on the way there. It was also the first time I had used a drone and with help and support from the guides I got some good images and video from the air too. It got chilly on the boats but they are very comfortable with seating areas for warming up inside, great crew, good supplies of hot drinks and snacks and equipped with toilets. I definitely recommend this workshop to visit a special place and for some unique landscape photographs of icebergs.
Colby’s combination of knowledge, human skills, drive and passion for what he does is truly inspiring.
As a field guide who has worked with many professional photographers, Colby stands out by a large margin. He’s far from a “know-it-all”, humbly admitting when he does not know what the answer is. I can, however, barely count on one hand the amount of times he didn’t immediately know the answer to a(…)
question, and in these situations, he made an effort to quickly get and explain the answer to you.Colby is a first-class educator, leader and photographer. He has inspired and motivated me in a way no one else has come close to.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll not only leave with a satisfied smirk on your face, but a deeper understanding and appreciation of both nature and photography.
I can’t recommend him enough!

As someone who was foreign to landscape photography but adept with other styles of shooting, it was such an enlightening experience to learn something brand-new on-location, with any questions I had answered immediately and, in my opinion, in a superior way that I would have found online. There’s the aspect of being in such grand and beautiful places that give learning a whole new layer of(…)
excitement.Pedro, our guide, made sure we would arrive to location earlier than any other people we were met with, granting us the best view of the landscape we were going after. The planning of the days seemed a little unreal– to think that we had the time to not only visit all the places we did (which was a lot!), but to feel satisfied with the time spent there, and not feeling rushed at all. Pedro was also always on-top of the aurora light forecast, checking frequently, and getting us to those beautiful landscapes or water bays, for a perfect composition when the auroras arrived in the sky.
I’ve had so much fun going through my photographs so far, and am totally satisfied with what I’ve learned, my results, and the experience as a whole. It has created a new appreciation for landscape photography and I can now document and capture my travels at an immensely higher level. I highly recommend a Colby Brown workshop!
