Ernst Haas

Image
  Ernst Haas seems like a very pivotal photographer with sophisticated visions. A lot of his photos exhibit the chaotic life of living in a busy city. In the picture above, the first thing I notice is the bright pop of red contrasting from the rest of the dull, grey image. Keeping the people's faces a hidden, hiding their identity adds a layer of mystery to the image. The child seems like a reflection of the adult, assuming they are their mother. This can raise a debate about different parenting styles, but I do not have much room to talk about this. The other people in the image are horizontally blurred, indicating that they are walking fast, which again reflects the busy and hurried life of living in the city.  In a lot of Ernst Haas' photography, his bright colors still have a dull, muted look which makes them almost seem like a painting. I am assuming this is because of the color film he used. His composition is always very balanced and clean. His images are very aesthetic...
