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
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
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
Image
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
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
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
Image
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
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
Beware of direct inspiration. It leads too quickly to repetitions of what inspired you.
Ernst Haas
Image
Color is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it.
Ernst Haas
Image
All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty pains and when it pained most, I shot.
Ernst Haas
Image
The most important lens you have is your legs
Ernst Haas
Image
Photography is a transformation, not a reproduction.
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
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 don't believe so much in the value of a single picture anymore. I don't really photograph for the wall.
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 don’t take pictures, the good ones happen to you.
Ernst Haas

Style has no formula, but it has a secret key. It is the extension of your personality.
