All ERNST HAAS Quotes about “Photography”

“Leica, schmeica. The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But you have to see.”
“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.”
“My theory of composition? Simple: do not release the shutter until everything in the viewfinder feels just right.”
“There are two kinds of photographers: those who compose pictures and those who take them. The former work in studios. For the latter, the studio is the world... For them, the ordinary doesn't exist: every thing in life is a source of nourishment.”
“The best zoom lens is your legs.”
“Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'.”
“All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty pains and when it pained most, I shot.”
“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.”
“Living in a time of the increasing struggle of the mechanization of man, photography has become another example of this paradoxical problem of how to humanize, how to overcome a machine on which we are thoroughly dependent... the camera.”
“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.”
“Photography is a transformation, not a reproduction.”
“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.”
“Beware of color theories. Theories in color photography are dangerous. The plain fact that there are so many of them proves my point.”
“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.”
