In 1988 Adams founded the Eddie Adams Workshop "Barnstorm," an annual gathering at his farm near Jeffersonville, N.Y., where established professionals and promising newcomers could take part in photo shoots, lectures and instructional clinics. More than 100 teachers and 100 students attend the event each October.

Stuart, the director of the workshop for several years, said its programs would continue.

Adams is survived by his wife of 15 years, Alyssa, and a son, August; three children by a previous marriage, Susan Ann Sinclair and Edward Adams II, both of Atlanta, and Amy Marie Adams, of New Jersey; his 100-year-old mother, Adelaide Adams, and four sisters.
