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.

More quotes by 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
I have always felt better taking a risk than an easier route for what I believe in.
Ernst Haas
Photography is a transformation, not a reproduction.
Ernst Haas
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
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
Beware of direct inspiration. It leads too quickly to repetitions of what inspired you.
Ernst Haas
Style has no formula, but it has a secret key. It is the extension of your personality.
Ernst Haas
The camera only facilitates the taking. The photographer must do the giving in order to transform and transcend ordinary reality. The problem is to transform without deforming. He must gain intensity in form and content by bringing a subjective order into an objective chaos.
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
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
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
The most important lens you have is your legs
Ernst Haas
We can write the new chapters in a visual language whose prose and poetry will need no translation.
Ernst Haas
A few words about the question of whether photography is art or not: I never understood the question.
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
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
I prefer to be noticed some day, first for my ideas and second for my good eye.
Ernst Haas
I don't believe so much in the value of a single picture anymore. I don't really photograph for the wall.
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
There are almost too many possibilities. Photography is in direct proportion with our time: multiple, faster, instant. Because it is so easy, it will be more difficult.
Ernst Haas
