Renowned Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado died this Friday 23, at the age of 81.

His death was confirmed on social media by Instituto Terra, founded by him and his wife, Lélia Wanick. “With immense regret, we announce the death of Sebastião Salgado, our founder, teacher, and eternal inspiration,” says the post.

“Sebastião was much more than one of the greatest photographers of our time. Alongside his life partner, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, he sowed hope where there was devastation and made the idea that environmental restoration is also a profound gesture of love for humanity flourish. His lens revealed the world and its contradictions; his life, the power of transformative action,” the institute wrote in a statement.
