Otto Dyar

Otto Dyar (1892-1988) was a portrait photographer who created the images of Paramount Pictures stars in the years of its transition from silents to talkies. His dramatic glamour portraits had contrasty lighting, heavy diffusion, and a unique use of an arc light—not an incandescent—as his key light. At Paramount he photographed Clara Bow at the outset of her rise to stardom, Louise Brooks in her famous bob, and Marlene Dietrich for Shanghai Express. At the Fox Film Corporation, he shot Clara Bow’s portraits for Hoop-La, her final film. He later worked as a unit still photographer at M-G-M.
