Elliott Erwitt: Legendary photographer dies aged 95

Celebrated photographer Elliott Erwitt, known for his candid and often funny black and white images, has died at 95.

He died "peacefully at home surrounded by family," Magnum, the collective of photographers that he had been part of since 1953, said in a statement.

Born in Paris to Russian parents, Erwitt moved to the US as a child.

He captured major moments including an infamous spat in 1959 between then US Vice-President Richard Nixon and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev.
