Elliott Erwitt

U.S. photographer Elliott Erwitt, renowned for capturing the lighter side of his subjects, their canine companions and celebrities, has died aged 95, the Magnum agency where he was a mainstay said on Nov. 30.

"He died peacefully at home surrounded by family," the storied agency, founded in 1947, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

A newly-opened exhibition at Istanbul Modern's Photography Gallery titled "Magnum - Contact Sheets" explores the creation processes of photographs from Magnum Photos, one of the world's most prestigious photography agencies.

Famous photographer Elliott Erwitt presents his work in London’s Somerset House, during an exhibition which seems a lot like a history lesson.

Marilyn Monroe, Jack Kerouac, John F Kennedy’s funeral, and Hollywood sets (“On the Waterfront”, “The Misfits”), everyday people, and dogs, are the subjects of his photos.
