Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Salgado dies at age 81, his institute says
Instituto Terra, which was founded by him and his wife, confirmed the information Friday, but did not provide more details on the circumstances of Salgado's death or where it took place.
'Sebastião was more than one of the best photographers of our time,' Instituto Terra said in a statement. 'His lense revealed the world and its contradictions; his life, (brought) the power of transformative action.'
Salgado's life and work were portrayed in the documentary film 'The Salt of the Earth' (2014), co-directed by Wim Wenders and his son, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado.

Kensington Palace Shares Eye-Catching Pics of Prince William—and Just Wait Until You See His Surprise Date
When it comes to Prince William, we are never short on good photos. Whether it was this week at the Royal Ascot, earlier this month visiting the Army Air Corps or those timeless black-and-white portraits that radiate pure royal energy, he's got the photogenic thing down. Still, who's going to complain about one more? Definitely not me. And thankfully, Kensington Palace just delivered. On Thursday, June 19, the Palace shared a new carousel of photos from William's visit to Earthshot Prize finalist Colorifix. And let's just say: the lead image is a whole moment. Prince William, in a lab coat, focused, listening, and surrounded by blurred-out beakers and lab gear. Total scroll-stopper. But the eye candy doesn't stop there. Because guess what? He wasn't flying solo on this visit—and no, it wasn't his wife Princess Catherine. The Prince of Wales was joined by none other than Australian actor and all-around icon Cate Blanchett. If you're wondering what the connection is there, Cate is actually a council member for the Earthshot Prize, the environmental initiative Prince William founded to spotlight big, bold, world-saving ideas. Eddie Mulholland -In the caption, Kensington Palace gave more context, writing: 'A visit to the brilliant @colorifix_ today with @earthshotprize Council Member Cate Blanchett. An Earthshot Prize 2023 Finalist, Colorifix use cutting-edge DNA science to revolutionise fabric dyeing.' The Palace also shared a short video recapping their visit. And this isn't the first time Prince William has had a bit of a surprising plus-one. Earlier this month, he made an appearance at the Royal Cornwall Show with Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh. No matter who's by his side, one thing's for sure—Prince William always shows up looking sharp. Whether he's rocking a classic suit or switching it up with a lab coat, the man knows how to serve polished royal energy every single time.
