The Associated Press has named news photographer and photo editor Santiago Lyon as its director of photography. The appointment was announced Tuesday by Kathleen Carroll, AP senior vice president. Carroll also named Michael Feldman and J. David Ake, both senior photo managers in New York, as deputy directors of photography.
Lyon succeeds Vin Alabiso, an AP vice president who was appointed director of global business development/photos in August. "Santiago is a well-respected photojournalist with a very collaborative, clear-eyed leadership style," Carroll said. "He and Ake and Feldman have a rich body of experience and they share a belief in the teamwork that helps AP's terrific photojournalists do their very best work."
Lyon, 37, has been a news photographer and manager for 19 years. He joined AP in 1991 in Cairo, Egypt, after working for United Press International and Reuters. He has covered stories in Mexico, Central and South America, the 1991 Gulf War, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo, Israel, Palestine, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Rwanda, Yemen, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. In 1995, while on assignment in Sarajevo, he was wounded by mortar shrapnel.
