More quotes by Ernst Haas
Only a vision - that is what one must have.
Ernst Haas
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
Beware of direct inspiration. It leads too quickly to repetitions of what inspired you.
Ernst Haas
Color is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it.
Ernst Haas
Beware of too much taste as it leads to sterility.
Ernst Haas
Style has no formula, but it has a secret key. It is the extension of your personality. The summation of this indefinable net of your feeling, knowledge and experience. Take colour as a totality of relations within a framecolour is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it.
Ernst Haas
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
I prefer to be noticed some day, first for my ideas and second for my good eye.
Ernst Haas
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
Learn by doing or even better unlearn by doing. The opposite of what you learned.
Ernst Haas
A few words about the question of whether photography is art or not: I never understood the question.
Ernst Haas
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?
Ernst Haas
We can write the new chapters in a visual language whose prose and poetry will need no translation.
Ernst Haas
Photography is a transformation, not a reproduction.
Ernst Haas
Style has no formula, but it has a secret key. It is the extension of your personality.
Ernst Haas
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
Every work of art has its necessity find out your very own. Ask yourself if you would do it if nobody would ever see it, if you would never be compensated for it, if nobody ever wanted it. If you come to a clear ‘yes’ in spite of it, then go ahead and don’t doubt it anymore.
Ernst Haas
All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty pains and when it pained most, I shot.
Ernst Haas
You don’t take pictures, the good ones happen to you.
Ernst Haas
Is photography art?... The pure definition of the word 'art' alone is too vague today to break one's brain and soul about it. Let us take a little vacation from this word.
Ernst Haas
