Know What Photos
Hello!
My name is Noah Gocial, I live in Philadelphia and have been shooting landscapes, cityscapes, and finding new perspectives for the better part of four years. In early 2025, I started photographing Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta professionally.
Back in 2019, I was fortunate to have gone to Iceland with National Geographic, then promptly put down the camera until 2023 when I went to Santiago, Chile to study abroad. Since, I have been unable to put my camera down.
My goal with photography is to study moments and instill them with purpose. The transition to this photographic thesis has been long, and earlier works like Easter Island show this growth compared to more recent focuses like Martha’s Vineyard and the Pine Barrens. In kind, there are certain photographs that I’d like to spend time with and write about, which is where my “Experiences” come out — explaining how and why I took the photograph. Certain series are works that are not confined to one place — Philadelphia has photos from when I moved here and across the city — and are centered around an idea or theme.
I use both digital and film. For digital, OMD-EM1 Mark II mainly with a 17mm or a 60mm lens. For film, a Mamiya 35mm DTL1000 with a 35mm lens.
