Catalogue Note
'When Dennis Stock won a contest for young photographers in 1951, LIFE asked Andreas Feininger to photograph him. "I don't know why," says Feininger, who is famous for his cityscapes and photographs of shells and skeletons. "I normally don't photograph people. We went to a studio where there were lots of lights handy and sort of fooled around. Actually this started a series of photographs I would do: I became fascinated with the strange things people put in front of their faces as part of their professions"' (LIFE Faces, p. 127).
