Timothy Greenfield-Sanders—who shot the award-winning portrait series “The Black List,” which in turn inspired multiple exhibitions of the work and two HBO documentaries directed by Timothy—recently completed a new series of portraits titled “The Latino List,” as well as a documentary film of the same name. Starting next month, selected photos will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum in the exhibition “Timothy Greenfield-Sanders: The Latino List.”

From the official description:

“This exhibition presents twenty-five large-format color portraits of accomplished and influential Latinos from the worlds of culture, politics, business, and sports taken by the renowned photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. In the manner of The Black List Project, Greenfield-Sanders’s 2008 exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum, which offered insights on what it means to be African American in contemporary society, The Latino List explores the meaning of “Latino” in the twenty-first century.

The portraits, which include Eva Longoria, America Ferrera, John Leguizamo, Chi Chi Rodríguez, Sonia Sotomayor, Pitbull, and Gloria Estefan, will be accompanied by excerpts from a new documentary film, also called The Latino List, directed by Greenfield-Sanders with interviews conducted by Maria Hinojosa and additional interviews by Sandra Guzman, both Emmy Award–winning journalists. The photographed and filmed subjects will be seen and heard directly sharing their stories and experiences, illuminating the richness and diversity of Latino life in America.”

“The Latino List” will be on view at the Brooklyn Museum August 19 through December 11. And Timothy’s documentary The Latino List will premiere on HBO on September 29.
