Green photographed Congressman Charles Rangel,[3] who used her portrait as his official photograph for many years, and Eric R. Dinallo, the former New York Insurance Commissioner.[4]
Green was the first female photographer allowed in a professional sports locker room. Following the 1976 litigation over the issue of female reporters gaining access to men’s locker rooms, Green, then a freelancer for United Press International, was assigned to cover the Philadelphia Flyers hockey game and shoot the post-game celebration in the locker room, 'becoming the first women photographer to do so'.[5]

Green was also featured in PhotoPro magazine for her expertise in corporate and executive portraits.[7] She was also featured in Photo District News with focus on her skills and techniques in shooting women executive portraits.[8]
Green collaborated with Elyse Weissberg on her book Successful Self-Promotion for Photographers (2004), which featured Green’s work and promotional material.[9]
