Greenfield-Sanders has photographed five U.S. Presidents, Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Sonia Sotomayor, Sandra Day O'Connor, Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton, among many others. Seven hundred of his art world portraits are in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

His documentary film, Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart, about the musician Lou Reed, won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video.
