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.

I recently had the privilege of embarking on a photography workshop in Kenya led by Colby Brown, and I can confidently say that it was a transformative experience that exceeded all my expectations. #1 on my bucket list!
Kenya’s natural beauty is simply awe-inspiring, and Colby curated a workshop itinerary that showcased Kenya’s vast amount of wildlife . Colby’s knowledge of the area was evident as he led(…)
us to the best vantage points and patiently waited for the perfect moments to capture the magic of Kenya’s wildlife and landscapes.We had the chance to interact with local communities, learn about their traditions, and capture their daily lives through our lenses. It added depth and authenticity to our photography, allowing us to tell meaningful stories through our images. Upon returning home, I found myself in possession of a trove of unforgettable images that will endure a lifetime. Each time I reflect on my adventures with Colby, I uncover hidden treasures in my photographic collection. If you’re an impassioned photography enthusiast, eager to explore the world through your lens, I wholeheartedly endorse joining one of Colby Brown’s workshops – it’s an investment in both your photography skills and your very soul.
PS: Food and lodging were excellent on the “Great Migration Workshop “

I really enjoyed the Costa Rica workshop. We went to some stunning locations and the trip was very varied – from boat trips along the river to rainforest walks, a butterfly sanctuary, nighttime outings and a trip into the mountains to see beautiful quetzals and hummingbirds. This was my first experience of macro photography and using a flash and having developed the skills it is something I look forward to(…)
using in the future. I particularly loved discovering and photographing the tiny colourful tree frogs and snakes. The local guides were very knowledgeable and helpful and highly skilled at finding and helping to photograph the local wildlife and it was a pleasure to meet them. I definitely recommend this workshop to anyone with an interest in birds or macro photography and Costa Rica is a beautiful country. I have come away with great memories, new friends and a lot of photos I am happy with – I can’t ask for more than that!
The Dolomites workshop with Pedro and Udo in October this year did not disappoint. This is my second trip with Colby Brown Photography and Pedro and the experience was every bit as good as my first in Patagonia.
The Dolomites is a landscape photographer’s dream, particularly in the autumn as the colours are changing The area is very photogenic and can be very atmospheric.
Pedro and Udo were tireless in(…)
taking us to some fantastic locations both at sunrise and sunset with plenty in between.Their organization was like a well oiled machine and both took great care to communicate the plans, look after us on the walks/hikes.
Their ability to share their photography knowledge enthusiastically was well appreciated by all, offering tips on both settings and composition.
The group make up was excellent and we all learned from each other, both in the field and in processing. This makes these workshops extra special.
The days are long but well worth it!
The only aspect they couldn’t control was the weather, but they could read it very well and they certainly made sure we had great photo opportunities none the less with some great day time trips too.
Time for processing was limited as the days were full, but plenty of photos to process when home.
Their ethos, skill and enthusiasm is what made the workshop unmissable.
Looking forward to the next one!
