Sophie Rivera (June 1938 – May 22, 2021) was an American artist and photographer of Puerto Rican-American descent.[1] She was also an early member and instructor of En Foco,[2] a not-for-profit organisation centred on contemporary fine art and photographers of diverse cultures. Rivera is best known for her 1978 photography series Nuyorican Portraits.[3] Redefining Puerto Rican identity in the United States, the series included 50 black and white portraits taken in her home of Puerto Ricans in her neighbourhood.[4]
