This iconic image of photographer Dennis Stock was featured among other photos in the June 27,1955 Speaking of Pictures—MASKED FOR MENS WORK. Here is the backstory: “LIFE Photographer Andreas Feininger is a meticulous (extremely careful about details) and patient craftsman who sometimes spends months thinking about a epic before taking the first picture. This set of pictures was conceived almost four years ago when Feininger made the one above.” According to LIFE, Feininger would create the series of photos in between other assignments. The spread in the magazine features his favorites including the now notorious photo of Dennis Stock behind the camera lens.
