Every photographer who submits to NOICE is asked the same question.

It appears on the submission form, right after the practical details - camera, experience, how they found us. Then, before they upload their images, we ask: What makes a good photograph?

Out of 83 photographers answering the question “what makes a good photograph?” not one mentioned the rule of thirds. Not one mentioned post-processing or editing. Not one mentioned social media performance, engagement, or what tends to do well online. And, as noted above, almost nobody mentioned gear.

Perhaps no one talked about the team because they took this for granted:

“Anyone can buy a nice camera. Not everyone can see light, emotion, and story before they press the shutter.”

This is so true. I'm not a professional photographer, I don't have a camera, just a simple phone. I love taking pictures, and I've seen many beautiful moons that I've wanted to capture, but my phone's camera doesn't take the photos the way I want because it's a low-end, old model. But I'm sure that with good equipment I can achieve it.

“The same traits that make a good hunter, make a good photographer. The ritual of the hunt is humanity’s oldest, most sacred act... I may come home empty handed today but tomorrow I’ll go out again and again, until I’ve found some sort of truth.”

You can have a good camera, but there is no "art" to take a good photo
