They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Some pictures, however, are worth at least a million. I’m talking about the iconic pictures that nearly everyone recognizes and that will forever be etched into our shared history. Even though these historical photos might be known by all, far from everyone knows about the superstar photographers who took them. Even less know about the film photography cameras they used to capture history in the making. Buckle up, amigos, you’re about to become photography buffs!

There’s nothing better than celebrities and their vintage cameras. And there’s definitely nothing better than pictures of celebrities holding their vintage cameras.

Ernst Haas (1921–1986) is considered one of the best, most celebrated and influential photographers of the 20th century and considered one of the pioneers of color photography. Haas was born in Vienna in 1921. He did not become a photographer until after the war. His early work showed Austrian prisoners of war returning home. This brought him to the attention of LIFE magazine. Initially he declined a job offer as staff photographer in order to keep his independence. But an invitation from Robert Capa changed his mind. Soon after, Haas joined Magnum in 1949. There he developed a close associations with Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Werner Bishof. In 1951 Haas moved to the United States where he began experimenting with Kodachrome color film. He soon he became the premier color photographer of the 1950s. In 1953 LIFE magazine published his groundbreaking 24-page color photo essay on New York City. This was the first time such a large color photo feature was published by LIFE. In 1962 a retrospective of his work was the first color photography exhibition held at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Ernst Haas using a Leica Photo: Glenn Beier Throughout his career, Haas traveled extensively, photographing for LIFE, Vogue, and Look, to name a few of the many influential publications that featured his work He created four books during his lifetime: The Creation (1971), In America (1975), In Germany (1976), and Himalayan Pilgrimage (1978). Ernst Haas continued to work until 1986, the year of his death. He has been the subject of numerous museum exhibitions and publications such as Ernst Haas, Color Photography (1989), Ernst Haas in Black and White (1992), and Color Correction (2011). The Ernst Haas Studio, located in New York, continues to manage Haas's legacy, aiding researchers and overseeing all projects related to his work. It would be wrong to claim that Ernst Haas used only Leica equipment, but Leicas have definitely been an integral part of his professional life, and many of his famous photographs have been taken with Leica cameras. When Ernst Haas began photographing in color, he soon created an entirely new approach to color photography by purposely using rather slow shutter speeds to blur the image. However, as he explained, this was not left to chance. He used the colors of the scene, and by deliberately blurring the image, he was actually able to create additional colors through the blurred overlap of the various subjects in the scene.. This approach was made especially famous by his photographs of bullfights in Spain. Obviously, Haas applied his blurring technique to other subjects as well Photograph from his book "The Creation" The above photograph was later used by Kodak for the Kodak Colorama at Grand Central Station in New York City in 1977. The original picture was taken with a Leicaflex SL and a 50mm Summicron-R lens on Kodachrome 25. The finished Colorama consisted of 20 vertical panels of 3 feet width and 18 feet height for a total size of 18 x 60 feet This was the first time a 35mm picture had been used for this project. It presents a 508 times enlargement to achieve the width of the image. It was a definite testament of the quality of the film and that of the Leica camera and lens. From the book "In America" Ernst Hass quite often tried to take photographs of ordinary subjects and to present them as an apparently abstract photograph, although, as he explained, that is a contradiction of terms. A photograph cannot possibly be abstract because a camera can only record actual subject matter. "The Cross" "Snow Lovers" "Holy Underwear" "Torn Poster" Ernst Haas had an uncanny ability to find ordinary subjects and by seeing beyond the obvious, was able to create extraordinary photographs. The first time I met Ernst Haas was at a meeting of the Leica Historical Society of America. He had been invited as the main speaker for the event. One thing that struck me immediately was that here was a person who gained international fame with his wonderful color photography and his masterful use of colors, yet he was clothed all in black, black pants, black shirt, black jacket, black tie. I saw him talking in German to Walter Heun, the former director of the Leica School. That in itself was quite an interesting conversation. I knew Walter Heun and, upon noticing me, he introduced me to Ernst Haas. I was fortunate to meet him again on a couple of other occasions. There have been many excellent and important photographers, past and present. Ernst Haas was without question one of the greatest of them all.

Bruce Gilden exhibition "Farm Boys and Farm Girls" The partnership between Leica and the photography exhibition Photo London at Somerset House will be open for the third time this year, from May 17 to 20. With a record number of exhibitors from approximately 100 of the world's leading galleries, the fair will be a magnet for photo enthusiasts with its impressive masterpieces of contemporary and historical photography. Nathen, a farm boy. Leica / Bruce Gilden exhibition at Photo London 2018 This year Leica is presenting an exclusive exhibition "Farm Boys and Farm Girls USA" by Bruce Gilden in the Leica Collector's Lounge at the Terrace Pavilion of Somerset House. The American magnum photographer, a self-proclaimed "city boy," spent much of his career in urban areas and could not be further from the lifestyle of the Midwestern agricultural community. However, when he photographed several State Fairs in 2014, he was deeply impressed by the young people who presented and sold their livestock, an unfamiliar and fascinating world, far removed from his comfort zone. Trinity, a farm girl. Leica / Bruce Gilden exhibition at Photo London 2018 For the first time, Gilden's main focus is on young people, who appeared more mature to him than their actual age. Growing up with farm animals and the everyday proximity to life and death prepares you for your own demise. In 2017, Gilden decided to continue his work of the young farm people. He accompanied them to state fairs, where they compete and learn to become successful members of the agricultural community. Caleb, a farm boy Leica / Bruce Gilden exhibition at Photo London 2018 The series "Farm Boys and Farm Girls USA" was recorded exclusively with the Leica S system. Bruce Gilden will give a lecture in the main auditorium of the fair on May 18 at 7 pm and will be available for autographs on May 17 and 19 at 4 pm.
