More quotes by Ernst Haas
Photography is a transformation, not a reproduction.
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
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
I have always felt better taking a risk than an easier route for what I believe in.
Ernst Haas
Learn by doing or even better unlearn by doing. The opposite of what you learned.
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
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?
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
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
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
Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'.
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
All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty pains and when it pained most, I shot.
Ernst Haas
A few words about the question of whether photography is art or not: I never understood the question.
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
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
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
Only a vision - that is what one must have.
Ernst Haas
I prefer to be noticed some day, first for my ideas and second for my good eye.
Ernst Haas
You don’t take pictures, the good ones happen to you.
Ernst Haas
