Richard Drew (b. 1946) is an Associated Press photo-journalist, perhaps most notable for his photo The Falling Man which depicts one of the people who chose to jump out of the World Trade Center towers following the September 11, 2001 attacks.
A British documentary "The Falling Man" about the photo premiered on the Discovery Times channel on September 10, 2007.
Drew was one of four press photographers present at the assassination of Bobby Kennedy[1], and continued taking photographs of the dying politician while Kennedy's wife asked him to stop.[2]
