5 ways Ernst Haas creates great photos!

[@TatianaHopper]

📌 Would you like to see more Ernst Haas?

[@mid90s75]

Hell yeah!

[@terrylstarks]

Yes I can’t speak for anyone else but me, but I’d love to see more from him and his contemporaries!!!!! After the War when the world was rapidly changing was an incredible time for photographers. So THANK YOU!!!!!! Can’t wait to see what you do next!!!!!!

[@TatianaHopper]

@@terrylstarks thank you Terry! Much appreciated will do!

[@martingreenberg870]

@@TatianaHopper Definitely I’d love to see more Haas & Leiter. Been looking for their fashion images without much success. Can you find and share some of these images? Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

[@satart6080]

Yes, love to see more videos produced by you about Ernst Haas. He is so great. Your (analytic) videos showing perfect what "we get" from the ART of Ernst Haas. Greetings from Germany

[@jiggyb21]

I have learned more about my own photography and discovered more photographers from your videos than I would have ever been able to another way. I have been watching for several years now and every photography book I own is because of you. Those books have taught me so much. I am truly indebted to you.

[@TatianaHopper]

Wow, thank you so much your comment is really touching I’m so so glad my channel can be that source of help and inspiration. Trust me when I say I feel like with every video I learn myself as well so it’s a journey that I truly will never regret taking and to know I can be helpful to others leaves me very fulfilled. Thanks for watching over these two years 🙏🏻 all the very best to you

[@peterjoseph3839]

This book is one of the first photo books I got for myself and one I come back to over and over again ❤ Love your way to explain his work. Thanks Tatiana!

[@TatianaHopper]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@andreasblohm9173]

When I look at Ernst Haas photos I always have an ambivalent feeling. On the one hand, the urge to throw the camera in the corner because I take such bad photos, on the other hand, inspiration and motivation to keep trying.

[@TatianaHopper]

You’re not the only one 😉 thanks for watching !

[@mid90s75]

What a great video, I love hearing your perspectives on photographers, you have definitely a gift and I love listening and learning. When you’re making a podcast? I’d listen 😅

[@TatianaHopper]

Ahaha it’s in the books let’s see if it happens, dealing with a lot at the moment but hopefully getting all those projects out one by one :) thanks so much for watching and commenting 🤝🏻

He’s the best photographer ever imho

[@terrylstarks]

Mine too!!!!!!!!

[@SecretMotorsport]

He’s great, but that’s a crazy take

[@DonaldGibson-bg1pq]

Yes. More Ernst Haas. I’m going to watch this video a few more times. I I plan to study his art all this coming month. His art is very similar; to some pictures that I’ve made; in recent years. In fact I’ve tailored some gear; and technique thirds panning the camera with the subject; at low shutter speeds. I like his repetition of objects. His subjectivity also. He sometimes has a fine sense of humor. Like the parking meters. I like the idea of computers, and machines that interact with humans. That’s a fun picture. Thanks again for your truly great shows. Your shows are great primer’s; that inspire further research. “Embrace the unknown”. “ I know what I know. I just don’t know what I don’t know. Now that is really true wisdom

[@billpanuska5775]

Excellent video. Haas absolutely ignited my interest in photography when in my teens. I saw his bullfighter image and remember physically shaking with the realization I was looking at TIME . Thanks for this beautiful review of his NY in Color.

[@TatianaHopper]

Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@aramdavid]

Haas is my absolute favorite. thanks for this!

[@TatianaHopper]

Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@mikeennis851]

Thank you, excellent explanation of Haas. I'm an old guy, started photography in 1970 and I have been influenced by all the greats of the past. Of them all Ernst Haas is my all time favorite. His use of motion and using color in dark images that trick your mind into almost seeing a classic black and white if it weren't for a splash of color.His images fascinated me and it still do to this day. Thanks again..

[@TatianaHopper]

Thanks for sharing that insight Mike, appreciate it and thanks for watching!

[@smokinitro]

Thanks Tatiana. Another educational, informative and well produced video. Prefer the “correctly” exposed indoor talking head footage to the artistic bleached presentation of a number of previous ones - kinder on older eyes. Eagerly looking forward to your next, as always.

Thank you so much for watching & commenting, agreed it took me a while to get things right so I do apologise! Appreciate the support my friend 🙏🏻

[@Pyramidalist]

Whats about "more made than taken" ... if we learn about this ... ohh ... we now are in the making-by-AI-world. So I recommend to take it as if it was made ... or only little manipulated ... what do you think?

[@DonaldGibson-bg1pq]

Perspective! Study perspective.

[@dangilmore9724]

Haas was one of the first photographers to "think" in terms of color rather than gray values. Haas, more so than Eggleston, pushed color photography into acceptance in the art photography world.

[@TatianaHopper]

Agreed Dan! He actually was very respected when he presented his colour work and people definitely view him as a pioneer :)

[@fernandosocorro4175]

Superb insights, as always. I thought it was interesting how the concept of low was central to much of what you about Haas's photos, since for me there is a painterly liquidity, a watercolor "liquid-ness" to much of his photography. Anyway, thank you.

[@TatianaHopper]

Good point I totally agree with you about the painterly quality in fact my previous video on Haas I titled it as Painter in a Hurry I think he is a superb photographer.

[@Brando256]

Thanks for another cool video! It's nice to learn about the thought process behind the pictures. Have you ever made one about Stephen Shore?

[@TatianaHopper]

Agreed! And actually after reading your comment I went to check it out but I haven’t talked about Stephen Shore even though I really like his work, something to consider :)

[@danielgraven9794]

​@@TatianaHopperI will wait patiently 😊 I reckon a big part of your audience loves the work of Stephen Shore and all things vintage Americana. Have you ever checked out the current work "American Squares" of Leah Frances? That's a nice modern take on the subject.

[@martingreenberg870]

Ernst Haas is truly inspiring. I love making images based on reflections from windows. I am going to learn how to create images based upon motion blur due to slow shutter speed and intentional camera movement. The images of the bull fighter and cowboy on a bucking bronco are breathtaking. I can’t watch his images enough. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)

[@TatianaHopper]

I know right those are also my favourites the bullfighting and bronco. It’s just beautiful! Thanks so much for watching & sharing your thoughts :)

Wish you wouldn’t be as awed by the fact he was the new kid in town… Having been the new kid many times in my life, you realize you are sensitive to things, lots of things, natives have grown blind to. It can really juice up your creative capacities. At least most times it has juiced mine up.

Nowadays there aren't so much colors in the streets than in the 50s, 60s or 70s. The new colors are, gray, black, brown or beige. For example the boring colors of our robes or cars.

@@TatianaHopper You’re awesome! I think I might try this out myself too and see. Thx again for your inspiration. Your efforts in creating these videos have greatly impacted our photography community imho. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@andgainingspeed]

Easy to understand why color didn't have an avalanche of early adopters outside of studios as it introduced an element into the mix that may not have dovetailed with the intent of the photographer. The extra expense may have kept some out as well. Now everything has flipped as monochrome cameras have a premium expense.

[@TatianaHopper]

I know isn’t it strange how the ties in photography work, I was just thinking of it today imagine the photographers of the past being told how much premium B&W cameras cost these days. If only we could travel in time. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@stevenmccaughan2752]

There was no fast color film that’s why everything was in black and white the fastest color film was 160 ASA that’s what ISO was called when I started

[@TatianaHopper]

@@stevenmccaughan2752 I also think it had a thing or two to deal with the perception photographers had of colour at that time. B&W was seen as the legitimate medium for photography for many years whilst colour was more for general consumers and amateurs. Ansel Adams and many other relevant photographers like Cartier-Bresson weren’t great supporters either. It was a combination of idealism with available resources in my opinion

[@lensman5762]

Hass along with a couple of other photographers, differ from the present bunch of ' street photogarphers ' as they make use of a number of human beings, or objects in their photograps to tell a story. The relationship between all the elements of the photograph is what sets him apart, along with brilliant use of colour and form. I think you could put Leiter in this company too. I really do not like photographs that reduce the role of a human being in a photograph to that of a prop. We have seen them all over the social media. Strong directional lighting, sharp high contrast composition and a human standing, walking or cycling through the transition of tones. They are just boring. Not Hass.

[@TatianaHopper]

I know exactly what you mean, that’s why I’m so appreciative of Haas and Saul Leiter they see the world in a very particular way, they interpret or filter what they want to see. I think it’s an amazing way of working. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts!
