Martin "Marty" Lederhandler (November 23, 1917 – March 25, 2010) was a photographer for the Associated Press for 66 years, making him the longest-serving AP staff member.[1] During his career, he photographed every President of the United States "from Herbert Hoover to Bill Clinton".[2]

Lederhandler began working with the Associated Press in 1936,[3] and participated in D-Day as an official US Army photographer.[4]

He retired in the wake of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, saying they helped spur the decision.[3] His photograph of the burning towers of the World Trade Center juxtaposed against the Empire State Building has been described as "iconic".[5]

Lederhandler suffered a stroke on February 17, 2010. He died on March 25, 2010 at Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey.[2]
