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.

From the unspoiled expanse of the Gobi, with nomadic herders of Bactrian Camels and the darkest night sky with the brightest stars and Milky Way I’ve ever seen, this has been my most memorable photo trip ever. It checked every possible box for me; Colby never disappointed and had arranged new and different photo opportunities every day with Camels, Yaks, Horses, Eagle hunters, and Nomadic herders and(…)
spectacular panoramas. We were also treated to some local Kazakh music and some ethnic meals that were “to die for”! I can’t imagine this trip being any better, and I want to return. All the logistical (internal vehicle and air travel, accommodation, meals, etc.) details were handled without a hitch by the ground team and local guide/fixer who accompanied us throughout the trip, so we could just unplug and enjoy the experience. Colby always made sure we got all the shots we were after at each location and lent his photo expertise throughout. I got photos I’ve dreamed of for years, and I’m so happy I did this trip!
I recently returned from the Wild Patagonia workshop which I attended with my husband who is a keen photographer. For a long time he has wanted to do a photographic tour and we were both keen to travel to Patagonia so decided to give Colby’s workshop a go. So glad we did ……As a complete beginner I was quite overwhelmed on the first morning’s shoot but Colby and Pedro were quick to give instruction and(…)
advice, immediately putting me at ease. Their encouragement and support was invaluable and I learnt so much. I have come away with a new found interest which I can now share with my husband!
I am so thankful to have joined this workshop. There is no way I would have been able to coordinate all that we were able to do and see on my own. Extensive planning had to go into this trip for it to run as smoothly as it did. We made the most out of our time there and got to see and experience more than I could have imagined. We had a local guide who was a wealth of knowledge, excellent drivers that(…)
were familiar with all the difficult terrains, and I learned so much from Colby about Astro photography and post processing. What I liked about this workshop is that although it was centered around Astro photography, we had the opportunity to also shoot various landscapes, wildlife and do some street photography as well.As with all of Colby’s workshops, you are guaranteed to have a wonderful experience. His passion for photography is evident and he is an exceptional teacher. Even if it is freezing cold outside or early in the morning, his upbeat and positive attitude set the tone for it to be a great experience.
I loved this workshop, and highly recommend it!
