Today, we\u2019re watching a video essay on the lighting system attributed to Marlene Dietrich, known as Dietrich Lighting.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>There\u2019s an excellent 1999 documentary by Werner Herzog called <em>My Best Fiend <\/em>that charts the director\u2019s tumultuous working relationship with the volatile actor Klaus Kinski. In one segment, Herzog recalls a dispute the pair had during the shoot of 1972\u2019s <em>Aguirre, the Wrath of God<\/em>. Kinski was incensed that Herzog wanted to shoot the staggering peaks of Machu Picchu from a distance. Meanwhile, according to Kinski, the only landscape worth photographing was the human face.<\/p>\n<p>While Kinski and the German-born actress <strong>Marlene Dietrich<\/strong> weren\u2019t exactly pals (she supposedly sued him for libel once), the pair clearly understood the power of the close-up. For her part, Dietrich knew and cared a great deal about how she was lit. In her work with the Austrian-American filmmaker <strong>Josef von Sternberg<\/strong> (who took credit for \u201cdiscovering\u201d Dietrich), the actress\u2019s naturally round face <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared angular, sculpted, and radiant with class. The technique, dubbed \u201cButterfly Lighting\u201d for the distinct shadow it produces under the subject\u2019s nose, became the standard for Hollywood glamor lighting. Dietrich, aware of the importance of brand recognition, insisted on being lit this way even when she wasn\u2019t working with von Sternberg.<\/p>\n<p>The video essay below details the technical ins and outs of \u201cDietrich\u201d lighting, a technique that emphatically proves that sometimes, less is more.
