Gustav Danielsson Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 A friend of mine actually owns camera light that Nykvist used. It looks like its handmade. Its constructed of a light bulb in one end of a rectangular box, in the other end is lamell curtain, that can dim down the ligth while keeping the correct color temperature. My guess is that he used that light and kept it at the same dimmed down level all the time. Just enough to get the glimmering the eye, but not effecting the rest of the face much. A dimmable led light would have the same effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustav Danielsson Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Sorry, I don't have any pictures of it. As I remember, it's smaller than an inkie. Just a rectangular tube 20 cm long and less than 10 cm wide, with a strong light bulb in one end, tiltable blinds in the middle and the possibility to add filters on the the front end.

Stephen Selby Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'm very interested in Nykvists style. I'm slightly confused as to his technique I'll post a seperate topic on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
