Eddie Adams (1933–2004) was an American photojournalist renowned for his iconic, Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of a South Vietnamese general executing a Viet Cong prisoner in 1968. While this image became a powerful symbol of the Vietnam War, Adams also documented conflicts and social issues across the globe, and was a prominent portrait photographer for magazines like Time and Parade. He received over 500 awards for his work, and his legacy continues through the Eddie Adams Workshop, a prestigious program he founded to mentor aspiring photojournalists.
