More quotes by 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
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
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
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
Photography is a transformation, not a reproduction.
Ernst Haas
I prefer to be noticed some day, first for my ideas and second for my good eye.
Ernst Haas
The most important lens you have is your legs
Ernst Haas
Beware of too much taste as it leads to sterility.
Ernst Haas
We can write the new chapters in a visual language whose prose and poetry will need no translation.
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
I have always felt better taking a risk than an easier route for what I believe in.
Ernst Haas
A few words about the question of whether photography is art or not: I never understood the question.
Ernst Haas
Beware of direct inspiration. It leads too quickly to repetitions of what inspired you.
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
You don’t take pictures, the good ones happen to you.
Ernst Haas
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
All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty pains and when it pained most, I shot.
Ernst Haas
Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'.
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
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
