I love to read theories without ever using them when working... The paradoxical fact in the aesthetic is that theories are also true in reverse.
Ernst HaasYou 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 HaasEvery 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 โyesโ in spite of it, then go ahead and donโt doubt it anymore.
Ernst HaasThere is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.
