Associated Press has not photographed Obama once in second term

[presence]

Editors of The Associated Press condemned the White House’s refusal to give photojournalists real access to President Obama, who prefers to circulate press release-style pictures taken by his own paid photographers.


These official photographs are little more than propaganda, according to AP director of photography Santiago Lyon.

I guess when he is out of office, he wants to own the rights to any photos taken while he was in office. For licensing/resale purposes.

Narcissism driven priority much?

I suspected it was more greed driven priority. If he owns all the rights to any picture taken of him while in office, that gives him a nice little something to sell later.

No the photographers he uses are paid with public money so their pictures are public property.

Ok, I didn't see that in the article, maybe I missed it.

"President Obama, who prefers to circulate press release-style pictures taken by his own paid photographers"
That ^ is a bit misleading then.
