I prefer to be noticed some day, first for my ideas and second for my good eye.
Ernst Haas
Image
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
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
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 is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?
Ernst Haas
Image
Color is joy. One does not think joy. One is carried by it.
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
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
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
Image
Beware of too much taste as it leads to sterility.
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
We can write the new chapters in a visual language whose prose and poetry will need no translation.
Ernst Haas
Image
The most important lens you have is your legs
Ernst Haas
Image
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
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
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
Beware of direct inspiration. It leads too quickly to repetitions of what inspired you.
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
Only a vision - that is what one must have.

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