Ernst Haas began his photographic career in the 1940s in Vienna, rising to fame
following the publication of his photo essay on returning prisoners of war from
Russia. Haas chanced upon his subjects at Vienna's train station after a fashion
shoot was cancelled. In 1951, Haas visited America and decided to make his home
in New York, and it was at this point in his career that he began to photograph
in color and establish himself as one of the early pioneers of color
photography. Haas later became renowned for his work with motion photography of
bullfights, nature and athletics. He also found success in the corporate
advertising market with campaigns for companies such as Marlboro, Chrysler and
Volkswagen.
