Image
in the smallest cells are reflections of the largest. And in photography, through an interplay of scales, a whole universe within a universe can be revealed.
Ernst Haas
Image
A few words about the question of whether photography is art or not: I never understood the question.
Ernst Haas
Image
Photography is a bridge between science and art. It brings to science what it needs most, the artistic sense, and to art the proof that nothing can be imagined which cannot be matched in the counterpoints of nature.
Ernst Haas
Image
Through photography, both artist and scientist can find a common denominator in their search for the synthesis of modern vision in time, space and structure.
Ernst Haas
Image
Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'.
Ernst Haas
Image
I prefer to be noticed some day, first for my ideas and second for my good eye.
Ernst Haas
Image
There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.
Ernst Haas
Image
I don't believe so much in the value of a single picture anymore. I don't really photograph for the wall.
Ernst Haas
Image
Beware of direct inspiration. It leads too quickly to repetitions of what inspired you.
Ernst Haas
Image
Beware of color theories. Theories in color photography are dangerous. The plain fact that there are so many of them proves my point.
Ernst Haas
Image
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?
Ernst Haas
Image
I have always felt better taking a risk than an easier route for what I believe in.
Ernst Haas
Image
Learn by doing or even better unlearn by doing. The opposite of what you learned.
Ernst Haas
Image
Beware of too much taste as it leads to sterility.
Ernst Haas
Image
With photography a new language has been created. Now for the first time it is possible to express reality by reality. We can look at an impression as long as we wish, we can delve into it and, so to speak, renew past experiences at will.
Ernst Haas
Image
We all would love sometimes to be free from our own knowledge. It is even the most difficult to unlearn - as the most important problems are.
Ernst Haas
Image
Photography is a transformation, not a reproduction.
Ernst Haas
Image
A picture can be an answer as well as a question but if you can't answer your question try to question your question... There can be questions without answers but no answers without questions.
Ernst Haas
Image
You see what you think, you see what you feel, you are what you see If with the camera you can make others see it - that is photography.
Ernst Haas
Image
We can write the new chapters in a visual language whose prose and poetry will need no translation.
