   Professor Kobré has educated a generation of pros

...now he’s packed “The Professionals’ Approach” into his invention, the Lightscoop®


Professor Kobré

Professor Ken Kobré heads the photojournalism program at San Francisco State University.

His former students, who include winners of the Pulitzer Prize, World Press Awards, and many other prestigious honors, work on staff and as freelancers for publications and media outlets around the world.

Ken's textbook, "Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach," published by Focal Press-Elsevier, has been the widest-selling text on photojournalism in the world since 1980.

He is also a co-author of the 7th and 8th editions of "Photography" (Prentice Hall) the world's leading basic photography textbook. His other books include “How to Photograph Friends and Strangers,” published by Curtin & London.

Ken is the founder and publisher of the KobreGuide to the Web's Best Videojournalism.

He has worked widely in developing countries including Malaysia, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Egypt and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He also has taught numerous workshops on photography including one in the Czech Republic for photojournalists from the former Eastern Bloc.

Ken is a past winner of the respected Robin F. Garland Educator Award from the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) and for four years directed the University of Missouri/NPPA Pictures of the Year Awards.

Professor Kobré invented the Lightscoop because he “HATES looking at UGLY flash photos.”

Don’t see your 35mm SLR here? We have not assured its compatibility. However, as new SLR models of the above brands have come on line, we have found that the Lightscoop to fit when we’ve had the opportunity to test.

We do have a 2-week return policy if you'd like to try the Lightscoop with your camera and return it if it doesn’t work out.

NOTE: If your camera does not have interchangeable lenses, its pop-up flash is not powerful enough to send light to the ceiling and back and still properly expose a picture. Sorry... it's not our fault! Blame it on physics
