The German Photographic Society (DGPh) is awarding the Dr. Erich Salomon Prize 2025 to American director of photography, curator, and photographer Kathy Ryan. With this award, the society honors her creative, outstanding, inspiring, and courageous work spanning almost four decades.
As longtime director of photography at The New York Times Magazine, Kathy Ryan has been a pioneer of combining fine art photography with photojournalism and so played a key role in defining the visual identity of the magazine. Few other print magazines stand for such a wide range of photographic applications as The New York Times Magazine, which Ryan interpreted with virtuosity.
