Ernst Haas

Ernst Haas, (1921-1986) Haas pioneered colour photographer. Naturally he plays with colours, lighting and speed in his photographs. I love the ones that he uses lighting, colours and reflections of water the most. It creates a mood there despite the lack of natural light which I feel is a key to photography. He feels that being a photographer was the choice for him as he wanted to be a explorer and a painter. I feel that photographers' works are very much like a painter's. One bonus point for a photographer is that you could express a lot of different emotions on your 'canvas' which is the photos you capture and I think that is a bonus point compared to painters which a ruin canvas is treated seriously.
