Geoffrey Biddle is a photographer who has been active since the 1970s. In the late 1970s, Biddle began to document the Puerto Rican community on New York City's Lower East Side, in the neighborhood known as Loisaida or Alphabet City.

The photographs won an award for best photo essay from the Missouri School of Journalism in 1987.
