As one of the premiere African American photographers working today, he continues to exhibit in museums throughout the country and abroad.

Mr. Higgins is the recipient of grants from the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the International Center of Photography, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Andy Warhol Foundation. His photographs have appeared in Look, Life, Time, Newsweek, Fortune, Ebony, Essence and Black Enterprise. Mr. Higgins has produced seminal works in the photo-essay form such as the book collections \"Black Woman\" and \"Drums of Life\" and most recently, \"Feeling the Spirit: Searching the World for the People of Africa,\" and \"Elder Grace: The Nobility of Aging.\"

An exhibit of his recent work, \"Landscapes of the Soul,\" toured nationally (including the Smithsonian) and was shown at The Museum for African Art in New York City in March, 1999. The show, in a review by the New York Times, noted his series of work on Black women as \"a masterpiece in form, lighting and style.\"

In BrotherMen, images from this exhibition and others are intercut with an on-site interview with Mr. Higgins at the museum and at work photographing an elderly Black woman, whom with deep affection and love he refers to as one of the \"snow heads,\" paying homage to the wisdom and style of the elders he portrays.\n
