Introduction

Are you ready to elevate your photography skills this summer and surround yourself with others with a similar drive? You might want to consider a photography workshop.. It’s not just the immersive learning experience, but the opportunity to network, share ideas, and form friendships with other photographers that makes these workshops so exciting. Moreover, combining travel with photography through workshops offers the perfect blend of adventure and education. Personally, I’ve taken the plunge and booked a photography workshop in Iceland this August. The anticipation of capturing its breathtaking landscapes and sharing the journey with fellow photography enthusiasts is utterly exhilarating.

Colby Brown Photography Workshops

One of the most renowned names in the world of photography workshops is Colby Brown. His workshops are a dream come true for any landscape and wildlife photographer.

Offering an array of exotic destinations like Italy, Mongolia, Uganda, Greenland, and Japan, these workshops promise an unforgettable experience. If you are a photographer who loves to travel, this one is perfect for someone who travels solo. Just imagine capturing the raw beauty of Mongolia or the serene landscapes of Greenland with a small group of 6-12 photographers. The intimacy of these groups ensures personalized attention and a collaborative learning environment.

What’s Included

The workshop package is quite comprehensive, covering ground transportation, accommodations, local guides and permits, along with all meals. It’s a hassle-free experience, where the only focus is on photography and learning.

What’s Not Included

Travel to the destination (airfare), visas, personal snacks and alcohol, and tips for the guides and drivers are not covered. It’s important to budget for these additional expenses.

Note: Both beginners and experienced photographers are encouraged to join. There’s something for everyone, regardless of skill level.
