The subject of my thesis is the work of the cinematographer Sven Nykvist. The center of the work is the subject of light, its analysis, its meaning and use in a film`s story. In the conclusion of my work I mention his worldwide success. Based on his biographical data I attempt to look into his personal life, and on a more general level, I consider the theme of creative work versus personal and family life.
