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.

Client Testimonials

There are many outfits offering photographic trips to Costa Rica. I am quite sure many of them are excellent. I honestly believe that word of mouth is the best way to sift through the options. Colby was highly recommended by a good friend who is an excellent photographer. I went with my wife, and we both have difficulty walking, and I am partially disabled. The driver of the bus (Wilson) and Kenneth(…)
(Colby’s assistant) helped us every step of the way with great compassion. This made our experience even more memorable. On a trip like this, local knowledge is essential, which was available in abundance. Colby is a special person. His photographic knowledge is impeccable, and all of us on the trip learned a great deal. He is a wonderful individual, and this was felt by everyone on the trip. Accommodation and meals more than adequate at all venues. Every effort was made to accommodate our needs, and I would recommend Colby unconditionally!
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!

Having never signed up for a photo workshop before, I didn’t know quite what to expect. Fortunately, I was in for a treat. Colby and his local guides did a fantastic job of shuttling us around to some beautiful parts of Costa Rica — rife with wildlife — while offering in-depth advice to improve our skills. I was especially interested in learning more about using flash to enhance my macro photography. The(…)
results? Well, the results speak for themselves. I wound up with some the best nature close-up images I’ve ever captured. And if all that wasn’t enough, the group of folks who chose to join this workshop were interesting, accomplished — and hilarious! If you’re on the fence about signing up for one of Colby’s workshops, don’t hesitate. In every way they are first-class!
