Haas was born in 1921 in Vienna Austria and he stayed there through medical school. At age 26, he left to work for the magazine Heute as a photographer. Known for his photo essay on prisoners of war coming home to Vienna, Ernst was offered an opportunity to join Magnum Photos. Life Magazine gave him a 24-page spread of color photos in 1953 and soon after he published his first book Elements. " Some of Haas' most famous pictures were deliberately out-of-focus and blurred, creating strong visual effects." In 86' he received the Hasselblad Award for his hard work and beautiful photographs. Haas had over 90 different exhibits over a 40 year span and won multiple awards including the Gold medal for the Art Directors Club of New York and Philadelphia too.
