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.

This was our 2nd workshop with Colby and honestly the bar from the 1st trip was set quite high. However this trip didn’t disappoint. From the moment that we got together with Colby and the other participants, the fun never stopped. Words cannot describe the feeling when seeing these amazing jaguars for the first time … whether walking along the riverbanks, emerging from the brush, perched up in the tree, and(…)
especially when they hunted the caiman. Wow! So much wildlife encountered … obviously the jaguar, but also the caiman, giant river otters, capybara (adults and babies), and even a water buffalo. What I didn’t expect was the bird life too. Birds were great to fill in any down time waiting for the jaguars to emerge. Rafael, the local guide / biologist, was always helpful in educating us about the conservation efforts, behavioral aspects, etc of the wildlife and birds in the area. Colby was fantastic in getting us in the right area, right angles, right light. … and helping us out with settings, processing, and whatever else we needed. If experiencing the thrill of witnessing the jaguar hunting its prey (up close), then this is the trip for you!
Right after the 2025 Fourth of July weekend, I set off for Alaska to join a small group of seasoned photographers on a Colby Brown workshop. Our destination: the wild, breathtaking expanse of Katmai National Park. We were based out of Alaska Grizzly Safaris, Jacques Adventure Lodge—a rustic yet comfortable outpost, perfectly suited for the adventure ahead.
Each morning began with a floatplane flight over(…)
shimmering lakes, snow-dusted mountains, and winding marshlands. After a smooth water landing, we’d hike into remote corners of the wilderness, cameras ready, hoping to catch a glimpse of the stars of the show: the Alaskan brown bears. And they did not disappoint. At one point, we counted over 30 bears gathered in a single cove, feasting on salmon during the seasonal run. It was raw, wild nature at its best.The lodge staff made us feel right at home, the food was hearty and delicious, and the pilots and guides were top-notch—skilled, knowledgeable, and always ready with a story or a tip. What made the trip truly special, though, was the camaraderie. Sharing these awe-inspiring moments with such a passionate, supportive group of fellow photographers made the experience even more memorable.
It was an extraordinary week—part wilderness immersion, part photographic pilgrimage—and one I won’t soon forget.
