Photo by Benedetta Bendinelli Q: What makes a good photograph A: Technically light, over all. But there is no such thing as a "good photograph", it all comes from a vision and our eyes, so it is mostly about what we take pleasure in watching, observing and often is about memories. I believe photography is the most free form of art, and also it's free from itself. Without a name things would be only a vision, so maybe a good photograph is a good translation from perception to aesthetic. #noicemag #photography

Photography by Nicola Buonomo: "I am a 34-year-old Italian photographer. I live in Sicily. I have a degree in medicine and a specialization in child and adolescent neuropsychiatry. At the same time as studying medicine, I studied theatre and took part in several experimental theatre performances where the main purpose was to strive towards truth of form and emotion, rejecting any type of formal cliché. For some years, I have deepened the photographic art through a self-taught path and, subsequently, through an individual path with a professional photographer, who has allowed me to refine the technique but, above all, to understand the historical and cultural roots of the photographic image. Today, photography is for me a tool for understanding the "things" of the world and a pretext for restoring meaning to the apparent chaos of everyday life. I like images imbued with a certain degree of ambiguity, those that leave room for more interpretive possibilities (someone said: "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts”). I prefer images that ask questions rather than give “certain" partial answers. Moving away from the figurative cliché, my research tends to conquer an aesthetic beauty but in the philosophical sense: the unveiling of the “true” through an image that requires the presence of a slow gaze, far from the noise of the stereotype of the figure, but close to the silence of "peripheral things". This project, which I consider "an archive in progress", was born from the exploration of Sicilian peripheral spaces, located on the border between the countryside and the land undergoing development. These hybrid places, caught between the desire to return to the wild and the inevitable push for architectural-technological progress, represent for me fertile ground in which to attempt an understanding. In these "non-places", still not characterized by a defined identity, it becomes easier to trace the archetypes that are promoting changes in the landscape and, consequently, of the destiny of "civilized" man. "Serendipity" is the critical and emotional status with which I conducted my investigation: trying to keep pre-judgment at bay I let the images present themselves to my gaze, almost anonymously, keeping me at a critical distance from them that would allow me to "see them again". When this happened, their ambiguous power gave me back a strong sense of possibility: what previously appeared in contrast, disharmonious and implausible, slowly took shape in a "gestalt" that gave back meaning to space and things. Working on the "land" was a pretext to explore man: his presence is evoked by the solitude of the scenes in which objects, buildings, cracks become "footprints" of his passage and his desires. Working on the edge of land still without a clear identity was ultimately an authentic "experience" of places where things, still in an early stage, potentially contain every possibility but, above all, they appear to the eye simply for what they are." #noicemag #photography #photostr #artstr

Photography by Keman Sheng "It is kind of hard to define my type because I have a different style on my projects that depend on the concepts. For this project, it is about old cars. I am Chinese. In China, we cannot see old cars that are over 15 years old on the street. Therefore, am so excited when I see those cars. The name of this project is She because a car is like a girlfriend for a car fan. In addition, I think cars are like people. They have personalities, stories, and so on. In this project, I made a world of cars. It is like those cars live in the city". #noicemag #photography

Photograhpy by Genia Volkov Genia Volkov seeks to reclaim the term “documentary photography”, narrowed into a one-dimensional relationship with reality, as the extension of self. His work flows from a mixture of questions: are images our life? Are we made into images by our habit of documenting life? Does our routine immersion in them dull our perception of reality, or does it refine it? Confessional and instinctual, although Volkov’s photographs have vivid subject matter, their magnetism streams from the enigmatic eloquence of the narrator’s voice. #noicemag #photography

Rule number one: don’t forget to bring your camera. Rule number two: don’t forget rule number one.

NOICE Visual Expression Awards submission by Alex Sheffield: "The lost art of discomfort, the true form of one’s self. These images put forth a notion that when lost and alone, colors and strangers will more often than not be kind to you when they see you taking a path less traveled, a journey less blind to traditions and expectations. The images frame themselves when your busy mind is quiet and loves being alone. I have had moments and years where I feel lost, but looking past my eyes, I sense the beating heart of humans and cities, all in a harmony of entropy and imperfect balance. This brings me endless comfort. I enjoy feeling small, like a speck of sand on a mile long beach." #noicemag #photography

NOICE Visual Expression Awards submission by Daniel Carolan "I am originally from Hong Kong but moved to New York City for college and stayed ever since.

Visual Expression Awards submission by Normal Rice. Q: What makes a good photograph A: Right now, with visual saturation at an all time high, it might be novelty. And even better if the novelty can be a gateway towards a visceral emotional or intellectual reaction from the viewer. www.normalrice.com #photography #noicemag

Photography by Zack Pohuski "A good photograph allows the viewer to have an emotion response to the image. Allowing the viewer form their own perspective, meaning and feeling to the image." https://www.zacharypohuski.com/ #noicemag #photography
