Abstract
How does cinematographical lighting differ from photographical lighting? Josef Sternberg amplified the answer when lighting the face of Marlene Dietrich within the six movies that he made with her between 1929 and 1935. By registering in historical context what he did, we can learn much of how differently we see things by means of movies versus photographs.
