James Dean died in 1955. This year 2020. After 65 years, He is still the coolest man on the planet.

Jimmy's eyes grabbed you in the most intimate and lonely way possible. SAD GREAT JIMMY

It's like James Dean had a destiny to make 3 movies . Die young . & become a legend .

He just couldn't have a bad photo. He was an amazing character.

How many actors have copied his method, his style, even his looks!! You could just put him on a movie in 2022 and he would outshine everyone!! He is the greatest of them all..

James dean has a excellent photogenic look to him

I am 72 years old and I believe James Dean Was the coolest dude on the planet. I think I have watched everything he has done on film that's been Released. To me he always looked like he's been cut and pasted into a scene Because he was so ahead at his time. His look and style was so unique not at all like other Celebrities/actors. He is Greatly missed.

It's SO interesting to listen to people talking about him...I don't even care if it's stuff I've read or heard one hundred times. James Dean is one of the most extraordinary creatures ever. Such talent, that amazing personality, so different from anybody else...unforgettable. It's even fascinating to get such a different image according to who's remembering him. His mystery remains unsolved.

The best photos we have of James are thanks to this great man, and what great photographs he produced. Inspiring

The Greatest Actor In Cinema History. RIP James “Jimmy” Dean.

I had a poster of James in the New York rain on my wall for years. Gotta get another one. ps.Cal Dean was James' great-grandfather. His father was Charles Desco Dean.

Oh yeah he was photogenic.. handsome it's so sad that he died so young 😭 always on my mind 🌹♥️

The photos in the coffin are just eerie.

i have always enjoyed Dennis Stock photos of James Dean, beautiful and right to the heart. James Dean trusted him to do the best for him , which he did. There is a photo right towards the end which i had never seen where James is looking directly at the camera... stunning.

the picture of him in the rain is amazing I love it r I p James

I live just over an hour of his hometown and gravesite. I visit all the time …. the original cool

Reduced me to tears. I'm sorry James, I'm sorry

I am a photographer...a good photographer. but it's always a great privilege to see the the work of a great photographer.

Jimmy was way ahead of his time! The legend lives forever! Rip🙏 James Dean! Gone way too soon! But never forgotten!✌😎👍the coolest actor that ever lived! Period!

Happy Birthday Jimmy!! Today you would have been 90!! Wow so hard to imagine! You left us much to soon. Wish I knew you, wish I met you, wish we were friends......wonder what films, movies and plays you would have gone onto do?? Would you have still been a part of the Actors Studio in NYC?? One can only imagine. Do you know how much the world has changed since 1955?? Some have come close man but you are still the coolest!! Gone but NEVER forgotten....... ALWAYS LOVED ALWAYS MISSED..........By the way Jimmy, you bridged the gap.......So Rest easy and in peace.........

He was a young man seeking his father's approval and couldn't figure out why he wasn't really getting it. until his father told him the truth. I think he would have been okay after that but his life came to a tragic end. love the photos of him, thank you! Rip James Dean

You can feel the emotion in Dennis about James. A beautiful video treasure...❤

I met James Dean cousin in Fairmount Indiana it was the best moment of my life I’m from North Ireland

I cry every time I think about Jimmy Dean. He left us way too soon.

The image of him sitting up in the coffin looking at the camera I could just look at all day...it is totally diffrent from all the rest..he looks sad and broken and lost..I think he let his gaurd slip for that one little moment and he got it on the camera...

Amazing personality at such a young age. James was also a terrific artist.

Those photographs are so beautiful.

It’s 2020 and I bought Dennis stock James Dean photoshoot book. I’m only 22. 66 years after his death. THAT SHOWS U THE IMPACT & INFLUENCED he had and STILL HAS! Impressive stuff Any fan of James Dean or photography should purchase the book via amazon. It looks SO MUCH GREATER in person

James Dean story is really a sad and tragic one, he became famous but didn't have a happy life and even couldn't marry the girl he loved, this is sad. Thank you for sharing this with us. James Dean always make me think about life not only by his movies but also of his own life. RIP

I wish I could've met him in the 50's ... Or now .... If he was alive 😭 James Dean is great and very very sad about what happened to him. He is a legend now that's for sure

It's crazy that he only lived 24 years and still has an impact almost 70 years after his death.

Thank you, Dennis Stock, for your beautiful photos of James Dean. You were the one photographer who showed the world a side of him we would not have seen otherwise. The Fairmount photos Really made clear how much he loved his hometown and family. I have your book of photos which is displayed proudly in my home. Amazing how everyone picks it up and becomes fascinated by it.. and these include my children's friends , some of whom never heard of him until seeing your book in my home! Your talent as a photographer is on same level as James Dean as an actor. Thank you, Mr. Stock, for your gift to the world and may you Rest In Peace.

Such a tragic loss when Jimmy died.

"You Can't Go Home Again" It's written all over his face... Great stuff! The Dennis Stock's body of work as it relates to James Dean is pure genius. I truly believe certain events in life are inescapable. Destined to be. Sometimes good, like Dennis meeting JImmy, other times bad, like Jimmy and Rolf meeting Donald. Fact is, both are just a natural part of being. Without the good, the bad would be unbearable. Without the bad, the good may not be appreciated. Jimmy squeezed 100 years of living into 24 years and thanks to people like Dennis, it's not all lost to us. R.I.P. Mr. Stock and ty.

Loved this video documentary. Thank you for the uploading it! 🥰

Great photographs. RIP Jimmy and Dennis.

Wonderful, insightful story, & pics! Thank you for posting this!

He brought so much to the world by taking his pictures. Thank you.

My dad was a year younger than James Dean and loved cars too. I watch a movie of James and think of my daddy. That was his generation.

James Dean was the male version of Marilyn Monroe, in terms of his struggles

yeah the pic at 7:58 is one of my all time favorite of jd, it's times sq, raining and pretty quiet (think it was a sunday morning), just a great flick...

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story!!! His story is so sad!! That poor soul!!!!!

This is a great piece of footage and interview with the collage of photos. Thank you for this. Amazing.

I just watched the movie "Life" yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Dennis's pictures of Jimmy are just iconic, pure and so beautiful. I have all of these pictures in my cellphone and watch it very often. Thank you Mr Stock for immortalized Jimmy for all of us. Thank you so much

Extraordinary .... these photos are beautiful

What a loving tribute. His works shows his admiration and friendship. His photos are incredibly personal.

This is fantastic. Thank you.

This is wonderful. Just wonderful.

I have just met the people of Fairmount. I know now what Dennis Stock means about these lovely people. That my family who were not James Dean fans are sincerely taken by them and consider Fairmount top of our list of places in our tour is great. My young son of 15 said it gave life to someone who i use to talk about. Job done. Thankyou Fairmount.

thank you for posting this.

These photos remarkably capture a different angle to Jim's being. He was so complex and so impermeable the photos take on various meanings with any evaluation bearing a particular truth. This essence is what made him the actor you could reach out to and touch, it was life like because Jim presented a realness not seen to that time and in his wake you had veritable number of actors who picked up what Jim left.

Thanks for sharing. Great photos a few I hadn't seen b4

This was an amazing interview which sheds light on how nice James's aunt and uncle were. Stock's stated the best pics came from Indiana, I would agree. For me, it showcases the importance of family and the realization of how precious life is and to enjoy it to its fullest.

I enjoyed this video, I was 12 years old when James Dean died, I Loved him then stir do!!!! So handsome and cool, great actor whose life was cut short. Still great after all these years!!!!!

Big fan. Thank you so much.

This was an enlightening mini-documentary. James Dean had so much more to give the world by his emmense talent. Gone way too soon. One can only imagine how far he would have gone in Hollywood.

Llegó tan alto que nadie puede ni igualarlo

WOW! An amazing 11:85 video on the most iconic photos of James Dean. I knew that Dennis Stock took these photos but didn't know the back story. I have context and it makes these photos so authentic. We have so little photographs of Jimmy and glad to know we have an amazing set by Dennis Stock.

i don't know how anyone could dislike this interesting vid...but i def. am getting dennis's book! anyone else have it?

So thankful for these amazing pictures from Dennis, i have the book it is fantastic would love to of met Dennis and ask him loads of question about his time with Jimmy

7:48 .. It is about how you come into the world alone, and most likely leave too, and in the midst of life... loneliness.. solitude... alone.. rain, sadness, depression... black and white... the cigarette, a reminder of earthiness, the lust of the flesh... the puzzle of existence... it is a beautiful photograph.... and nobody wants to be photographed like that, in that pose, in that place, now, because it is like a garment another wears - it is uniquely theirs and not yours.. photography is an interesting artform, turning reality into symbol-language.

The first time I saw a movie featuring JD I was shocked at how much he reminded me of my grandpa. Born only months after Dean and raised on a farm as well, I think he took a lot of inspiration from the persona, especially in Rebel. He had died by the time I saw a JD movie so I was never able to ask him about it. But I think this speaks to how influential Dean was on young adults in the 50s

I just had to comment on your title, that I liked. I was just 1yr old when he died, so it wasn't till years later I saw a movie of his, and he had that face that i would like to say he is my friend, too, in my heart. The thing I liked best about him is, in all his movies, he was himself, James Dean, and not some fabricated character, which of course I know actors have to do, in order to make the film sell. But he didn't. There was nothing fake about him. I can believe what James Dean couldn't wrap his head around, was why many saw him as great, when he was only being himself. Sometimes it's hard to judge yourself, unless you're vain, and think you're the greatest already, but others don't live like that. A friend once gave me the answer, "You're on the inside, you can't see what others see, about you, on the outside". But it's folks like James Dean who don't see themself, as the greatest, that really are great. Because they stayed true to self, and didn't let their head get swoll. Many of us try to be cool, but he was cool, without trying. I sure wish he was still here, today, but one thing for sure, he left a great big footprint mark, on this earth, because he is still fondly remembered by many.✌🏽❤🙏🏻Rest in PARADISE, my friend, James Dean🌷🌲

I love the "You Can't Go Home Again" photo. Wow. Perfect shot. This is art.

What a wonderful storyteller with pictures and dialogue.

Mr. Stock a great photographer you are sir !!!

Thank you so much Dennis Stock for talking in such a heartfelt way about Your memories with Jimmy and his wonderful family. Your photographs at the time are iconic now and I thank you for taking such an interest and spending two months on this project for which you were only paid two days! Love your photography and I love James Dean - you did him Proud ❤️🌹✨

heartbreaking

I mean the photos of him in the coffins are not Erie but very symbolic of his emotional state of mind. I cannot speak for the man or tell you his thinking but If you ask me that was a man who wanted rest maybe party due to stress and insomnia but someone who clearly just wanted rest not necessarily death but rest for sure. Rest In Peace James.

Thank you for this video.

Dennis, this is an amazing story.

Priceless photos.

Just watched Giant earlier today. This biography is amazing.

What an extraordinary eye. Stock's work got me into Dean. Wonderful work on this documentary. Dean so interesting in that no matter what environment he was in he owned it, like a chamelion. And he made any article of clothing he put on instanly cool.

Dennis Stock comes across truly genuine. Thank you :-)

Those coffin photos are hilarious. They put a smile on my face. He wasn't afraid to express the kid inside of him.

The way Dennis talks is so captivating. I could listen to him telling stories, all day.

Dennis was a true friend!

James dean was never lost, have a blessed day

The eyes showed how lost he was...

I couldn’t understand why this awesome channel has only 5k subscribers.

Dennis was a true friend and admirer of James Dean.

Thank you Dennis stock, for the Beautiful pictures beautiful memories. Rest in peace Dennis Stock. and James Dean i’m sure you two met up again in heaven and I’m sure you’re still taking pictures 📸

Thanks for sharing ❤️

Amazed by such marvelous "The Photography Channel" Thank YOU so very very much º n a m a s t e April 17th, 2017

Wonderful!

Incredible!!

I'd Love to have Met James Dean. I So Wish I was Born Alot Earlier. James Dean is Absolutely Gorgeous 😍 ‼️♥️ Dean Definitely had a Great Deal of Special in Him‼️RIP James Dean🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔

Thank you 💖

he dead too young ,he was wild at heart ,they couldn't control him because he wasn't someone to be Control he wanted to do His own thing,R.I.P James Dean❤

Jimmy was born obviously wiv the gift that no doubt was propelled by his young childhood circumstances. His art was like the inhale of breath without he didn't exist. Breathtakingly forging a new transmission of communication through stage then lens. He was so much still experimenting and had a ton and a half more to give. Lonely trailblazer without a horiZon but moving at breathneck tragic speed. His soul touched ours and will continue to those to come who r searching.

Heading to Fairmount this weekend for the James Dean festival

Amazing video.

Amazing story.

I'm watching this probably after Dennis has died too. But this relationship amongst both is of finding oneself in the wider realm of one's existence. Jame's was of try to belong, and the sometimes recklessness in finding it. Dennis was of capturing through the lens. But without a doubt, his heart became involved. You could hear it in Dennis' voice. The man crush for one another.

I lost several friends in accidents. When I see reports and pictures about James Dean, I immediately remember the death of those dear people who left very early ...I want to name some of them: Alberto (motorcycle), Cláudio (motorcycle), Turcato (motorcycle) , Antonio (car), Arminda (car), Edir (car), Eurico (car), Sadi (car), Normélio (car), Júlio (airplane), Carlinda (car), Walter (car) and Pedro .

"Life" is a movie released in 2015 and it told the story about mutual friendship and common journey of Dennis Stock and James Dean. Robert Pattinson and Dane Dehaan starred in it

He is so broken inside he always respect his mother words that's why he always came to meet his father's house at last he finally got love from his father's and go with his mother ❤️ forever

35mm B&W photography, legendary snaps!
