In February 1955, when Dennis Stock became a full-partner member to Magnum agency rather late, Life magazine commissioned him to contribute a photo story on James Dean (1931–1955). When posthumous fame made James Dean an idol, this feature story also had a stimulating influence on Stock's career as a photojournalist. In comparison with the widely known motif showing Dean with pulled-up collar on a rain-soaked day at Times Square, this portrait reveals much more of the person behind the myth, as Dean is addressing the camera with a charming glance.

早期明胶银盐照片,双重重量光面纸,非常好的状态。摄影师的版权印章,负片编号印章“56-7-13/9”和铅笔手写注释在背面。文献:《Moody New Star》,发表于《LIFE》杂志,1955年3月7日,第125-128页(同系列);Hans-Michael Koetzle(编),《Augen Auf! 100 Jahre Leica》,海德堡,2014年,第323页。1955年2月,当丹尼斯·斯托克较晚成为马格南机构的全职成员时,《Life》杂志委托他为詹姆斯·迪恩(1931–1955)拍摄一个摄影故事。当詹姆斯·迪恩死后,这个专题故事也对斯托克的摄影记者生涯产生了促进作用。与广为人知的迪恩在雨天的时代广场上拉起衣领的照片相比,这张肖像揭示了他更加接近真实的那面,因为迪恩正以迷人的目光看向镜头。
