Ernst Haas Quotes

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

A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it? Ernst Haas

All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty paints and when it painted most, I shot. 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

You become things, you become an atmosphere, and if you become it, which means you incorporate it within you, you can also give it back. You can put this feeling into a picture. A painter can do it. And a musician can do it and I think a photographer can do that too and that I would call the dreaming with open eyes. Ernst Haas
