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.

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!

Italy on its own is amazing, but Colby somehow makes it even better. Also, the beautiful hikes help to balance out the delicious carbs, so it’s a win-win.
If you’ve ever considered taking a workshop with Colby, just do it already. He is personable, knowledgeable, helpful, and his workshops are next-level experiences. And he’s there for advice and helps long after you fly home. I’ve been on several(…)
workshops with Colby and keep coming back for more.
Another meticulously organized workshop from Colby Brown in Bolivia! Experienced, responsible and helpful drivers of appropriate vehicles, excellent local guide, best available accommodation along with Colby’s vast experience of all things people and photography made for a first class experience.
The workshop was centered around astrophotography in the Salar de Uyuni with an additional trip to the high(…)
altitude southern part of the Bolivian altiplano near the border with Chile. Most people had acclimatized to the 14,000 feet Salar by the time we ventured even higher so that most negative effects were kept to a minimum – also due to not having to hike great distances to reach shooting locations.The workshop offered the opportunity for a wide variety of photography from drone, people and street (in La Paz and Uyuni), wildlife in and around Laguna Colorada as well as landscape with some amazing light at both ends of the day.
Bolivia is not easy to travel to from the USA and the entry and exit requirements are cumbersome and bureaucratic but it was an excellent week spent with friends that produced a high number of photographic keepers.
I would suggest nobody else sign up for this workshop so that we keep these locations secret for as long as possible!
