The Associated Press announced Friday that Vincent Alabiso, an AP vice president, has been named director of global business development/photos. He will oversee the marketing, sales and promotion of AP's vast collection of current and historical images. Alabiso, 56, has been AP's executive photo editor since 1990, during which time AP has won nine Pulitzer Prizes for photography and been recognized in virtually every major photojournalism competition.
The AP's digital photo archive includes some 800,000 historical and recent pictures, and its photo library holds an estimated 10 million negatives and prints dating back a century. Commercial sales of AP images currently include those to magazines, book publishers, Web sites and personal users.
Under Alabiso's guidance, AP took the industry lead in advancing digital photography and worked with Kodak to introduce the first professional digital camera, the NC2000. He created the Diverse Visions workshop, now in its ninth year, for training multicultural photojournalists, and helped organize the Associated Press Photo Managers, a national organization of newspaper photo leaders. He also has chaired the jury of the Pulitzer Prize in photography.
Alabiso has served as director of photography for The Boston Globe and as AP's New England photo editor. He began his career as a reporter and photographer for The Patriot Ledger in Quincy, Mass. He has taught at Boston University and holds a journalism degree from Northeastern University in Boston.
