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!

I recently participated in a photography tour in Costa Rica, and it exceeded all my expectations.

The selection of lodges and restaurants was excellent, providing comfort and great local cuisine. The photography opportunities were outstanding, with abundant(…)
chances to capture birds, frogs, snakes, and even sloths. Colby and Ken were exceptional photographers and instructors, dedicating plenty of time to coaching us on all aspects of bird photography and macro photography. Their guidance made a huge difference in improving my skills. Most of the shooting was done comfortably in the shade, with chairs provided and only short walks required—no physical fitness necessary! This tour is suitable and beneficial for both professional (almost all of my teammates) and amateur (like myself) photographers. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature and has a passion for photography. It’s a truly unforgettable experience!

One of the most fascinating things was watching Colby pick out the location, gauging the weather, light and cloud conditions while taking into account what everyone wanted to see. We were fortunate to have spectacular northern lights, and Colby got us to several locations(…)
