He has been one of my main career inspirations whenever i looked beyond film's true golden age. Your tribute was very thorough. I have a BFA in Cinematography. This type of light artistry has been completely lost because our age is aural, not visual. We view art now nostalgically. Many thanks from deep inside the gallows of a lost Hollywood. Long live film, which digital has desperately tried to kill off.

Keep up the great job. PS: Obviously subbed.

That was a great video and a great history lesson at the same time. A director and a cinematographer have a lot to learn from one another if they are open to it. Niqvist's case reminds me of Giorgos Arvanitis (www.imdb.com/name/nm0002187/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1) who started off as a self taught cinematographer working for not that demanding comedies shot mostly in studios ,to rise up to the most important Greek cinematographer up to date when his road crossed with Theo Angelopoulos who brought a lot of fresh ideas from Paris. There is a funny story about how they couldn't understand one another when they first worked together. Since you are interested in old school cinematographers maybe you want to take a look in Walter Lassally's work.Check out what he considers his best work ever here kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpqZk5SOgtVkaZo (unfortunately ther are no greek subs in this one)

@qqqAvi7 жыл бұрын
what about the architecture and the clothes of that era? What about the landscape? Nobody talks about it. Are you sure is only the light and composition that make a good photography? If you say that cinematography is all about punctum and not a mixture of it and studium, then all the movies should be filmed in some backyard. Definetelly, a soviet building in the background from the 70´s won´t create the same visual impact, definetelly other. I´ve watched low budget movies with good comp or light, still looking crap, just because the clothes of Julio Caesar didn´t have very much detail on them or because of the fake wall behind him. Every person I know find 1930´s- 1960´s photography very pleasing because of the ¨texture¨ of that era. Marlyin driving an old Cadillac vs. Kardashian in some Ferrari, Wtf. Sven´s photography of some modern movies is crap compared to his b&w movies because the props or location don´t help. Some Woody Allen´s movies look like old Van Damme´s movies, they look crap. Is very easy to make a good photography when the background also helps. The job ot the photographer is limited by the location, which is limited by the budget of the film.Even your story is limited by location even though you may afford the best DP in the world. Be creative, they say, yeah that´s simple to say. ¨Give me a camera and a good lens. That´s all I need¨ Really? I want you to shoot Predator. I can´t really shoot Predator in my own garden, can I? I can´t afford to go the the jungle or just to recreate it. Or just shoot the same scene in a room with white walls in a modern kitshy house with modern clothes and it will probably look crap, not the same effect, impact, etc because it is very difficult to photograph. Imagine Sven´s b&w movies in colour shot with some crappy digital camera. Still great, but not the same impact. Film is still film. Let´s shoot that Sven´s cabbin from his ¨low budget¨ movie because it looks good. I can´t even find a simple wooden cabbin in my area, there are only of concrete with kitschy architecture. It will cost me a fortune to build one from scratch. In my story there´s a wooden cabbin. No wooden cabbin, not my story.
