Submission by Olivia Burt:
"Images return to us not only our likeness but our distortions: the ways we impose order, meaning, or humor where none inherently exists. The ordinary becomes uncanny, and the familiar slips toward the absurd.
As May Sarton wrote, “Does anything in nature despair except man?” Unlike us, reflections do not despair or interpret, they simply return what is offered. In that return, each image reveals less about what is seen than about the peculiar projections we bring to seeing".

Congratulations to Uetsugu Kotomi for being selected as the Q4 2025 winner of the NOICE Visual Expression Awards!
Her work demonstrates exactly what we at NOICE value most in photography; humour, absurdity, beauty and meticulousness in the most simple and beautiful way which we have coined the genre “Minimal Comic-Play”. Great examples of this and always refreshing to see such great work.
Submissions are currently open for 2026. You have the option to submit a regular series, or opt in for a personalized portfolio review, where you will receive feedback that encourages and guides you to refining your craft. Beginner or pro, all is welcome at NOICE.

"INNER STATES"
Started eight years ago, this photographic movement created with mobile phones has no other ambition than to exist as an instinctive and free flow.
I have little interest in the individual image as each picture leads me to the next one and redraws the boundaries and meaning of the whole.
It's a breath in my daily life as much as a way to archive and counter certain anxieties.
An aesthetic intimate notebook where my loved ones, time, and all the suns that have crossed my path mingle. There has never been any other rule than that of expression, of feeling, there will never be another.
My mobile phones are brushes, black boxes. They allow me to discreetly freeze and twist the moment and put it in my pocket.

Photography by Marty Samis:
"When I began this project, I thought I'd be documenting the seasonal changes that seem to take place in the Yukon over long, drawn-out periods of endless winter and brilliant summer. Ultimately, I found that the landscape I had chosen to document changed, not only seasonally, but by the hour.
I chose to focus on the view from the lake where I lived at the time. There, I realized that the transformations I’d always assumed took place slowly, actually happened in measurable increments I could miss, if I looked away for too long. Ice formed and melted, altering the water from midnight to noon. In a matter of minutes, sudden winds whipped the lake’s glassy, reflective surface into frothing waves. If the sky opened up, or dark storm clouds rolled in to create a change of light, I made my way down the winding path (often running) from my house to the lake, camera in hand.
Over the 20 months I spent on this project, I became more and more aware of the ever-changing light in the North.
I noticed how even subtle changes elicited an entirely different mood from the landscape. I became obsessed with visiting the lake and seeing what it had to show me".

Photography by Volodya Koval:
"A good photograph can be built on three pillars: light, the decisive moment, and composition. When these elements collide within a single frame, a masterpiece is born"

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."

On the contrary, desaturating your photo can actually reveal more subtle variations in color and tone, because removing strong colors highlights the underlying differences in luminance and shading.

"I'm a photographer based in Denver, Colorado. These photos were taken during an unusually cold and foggy period in the days around Christmas 2024, near my hometown in Central Nebraska".

Photography by Tom Hicks:
My subject matter is the post-industrial landscape of The Black Country in the UK. I tend to focus on color and I particularly like sun-faded surfaces and features of buildings that are past their prime.
