Steve Schapiro dies at 87

Steve Schapiro, a prizewinning photographer whose indelible images ranged from the March on Washington to the set of “The Godfather” and other films, has died at 87 of pancreatic cancer. A New York City native, Schapiro started out as a freelance photographer in the early 1960s and was on hand for many of the decade’s historic moments, whether the 1963 March on Washington or Robert F. Kennedy’s presidential run in 1968.

In the 1970s, Schapiro became a favourite among filmmakers and actors.
