A renowned photographer who captured the impact of de-industrialisation on working class communities has died aged 74.
Chris Killip was known for his gritty series, In Flagrante, which featured striking pictures of working class people in the north east of England from 1973 to 1985.
Mr Killip won the Henri Cartier-Bresson Award for In Flagrante and in 2013 he was shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize.
The photographer had been diagnosed with lung cancer, reports the Guardian, and he was living in Cambridge, Massachusetts in Boston when he died.
A new collection of his photographs of scenes in Tyneside were recently published in Shipbuilding On Tyneside, 1975-1976.
Fellow photographers and art galleries paid tribute to Mr Killip on social media.
One of his most famous photographs, Youth on a Wall, showed a young skinhead boy curled up on a wall in Jarrow, Tyneside.
The British Culture Archive said on Twitter: "Terribly sad news about the passing of Chris Killip.
"An outstanding photographer who leaves an incredible legacy."
Born on the Isle of Man in 1946, Mr Killip started his career working as a freelance commercial photographer in the 1960s.
In 1975 he was awarded a two-year fellowship to photograph communities in the north east.
From 1991 to 2017 Mr Killip worked as a professor of visual and environmental studies at Harvard University.
Mr Killip also published several other books of photography, such as Here Comes Everybody, Seacol and Arbeit/Work, and four small publications in 2018: Portraits, The Station and Skinningrove and The Last Ships.
