Eddie Adams

Eddie Adams won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 for his Associated Press photograph of South Vietnamese National Police Chief General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Viet Cong prisoner on a Saigon street on February 1, 1968. He later expressed regret for what he saw as the photograph's unfair damage to the general's reputation and delivered a eulogy at Loan's funeral in 1998. He subsequently spent decades photographing celebrities and fashion, and founded a photography workshop that has launched many careers.
