Brian Clamp of Clamp Art by Ryan Pfluger

Ryan Pfluger is not a Hot Shot, but he is a great young photographer who is working a lot in the editorial and art worlds.

July 20th's New York Times Magazine featured Ryan's portraits of writer David Carr (inside and on the cover) and Shoot The Blog's Rachel Hulin recently interviewed Ryan about his work. It is a good read. (Also, for the record, the David Carr book, The Night of the Gun, is a good read too.) Rachel's interview touches on a new project of Ryan's too:

"As for personal work, I started a project about two months back entitled "Edited". I'm photographing all the photo editors/curators/dealers in New York that I can. It's all about turning the lens on the people who are currently making decisions about photography. Most photographers don't even know what half these people look like. They are all environmental portraits in their homes, studios or galleries. I've already photographed people like Kathy Ryan, Brian Clamp, and Brooke Nipar. George Pitts, Leslie Martin and Tim Barber are also some of the people that are future subjects."

That's Hey, Hot Shot! panelist Lesley A. Martin, in fact. I look forward to seeing more of this work. What a great resource it will be: a guide to those who are looking at your photographic work. A very smart idea.
