- Ernst Haas was born in 1921 in Vienna
- Haas studied art, literature, poetry, philosophy and science
- He was sent to a labour camp by the German army
- In 1940 he returned to Vienna to study medicine, but was only able to complete one year of study as he had Jewish ancestry and had to leave school
- In 1949 he accepted an invitation to join Magnum
- Ernst Haas published four photography books
- Haas has photographed many subjects which involve movement.
- Haas has also photographed homecoming prisoners as well as many cities he has travelled to.
- This has influenced me to make an artwork with movement in them as I can see how powerful they have the potential to be.
- People that also influence my artmaking include Randy Halverson, Enrique Pacheco, Tom Lowe and Christopher Malin as they all create incredibly dramatic time lapses which inspire me to do the same.
