About Artist

Thomas de Franzoni

Thomas de Franzoni is a photographer known for his evolving style that captures mood, light, and atmosphere in distinct ways. Initially, his work was vibrant and full of color, often depicting lively scenes with rich, warm tones that added a sense of vibrancy and energy to his subjects. His use of color was not just a visual element but a storytelling tool that conveyed emotion and atmosphere. Over time, however, Thomas style has shifted towards a more monochromatic, black-and-white palette. This transition has introduced a different kind of mood to his work—more introspective, moody, and timeless. By removing color, he emphasizes contrast, shadows, and light, which creates a more dramatic and often more emotionally charged atmosphere. The focus shifts to texture, form, and the subtleties of light and shadow, making his images feel more intimate and contemplative. This evolution in his photography suggests a deeper exploration of the human condition, memory, and perhaps a longing for something more timeless and universal. The black-and-white approach strips away the distractions of color, leaving the viewer to focus on the essence of the scene or subject, which is often steeped in a nostalgic or melancholic atmosphere. - Imacres Awards 2024 1st Place in Landscape - Exposure One Awards 2024 - Discovery of the Year in Architecture - Exposure One Awards 2024 - Silver Award in Landscape - IPA 2024 - Honorable Mention in Fine Art / Landscape - refocus Awards 2024 Black and White - Silver in Minimalism - Black and White Photo Awards 2024 - Silver Mention in Landscape - EPA European Photography Awards - Platinum Winner in Nature / Landscape - EPA European Photography Awards - Gold Winner in Fine Art / Nature - Better Photography Magazine Photographer of the Year 2024 Two Silver Award and One Bronze Award - One Eyeland World's Top 10 Landscape Photographers 2023 - Two Silver and Two Bronze - Best Photography Awards 2023 - 3rd Place Winner in Nature - The Artist Gallery - 3rd Place and 3 Honorable Mention in Places 2024 - WPE International Photography Awards 1/3 2024 Silver Award - London Photography Awards 2024 - Gold Winner in Fine Art / Nature - Black and White Photo Awards 2024 Silver Medal Winner in Fine Art - reFocus The Color Photography Award 2024 - Silver in Minimalism - reFocus The Color Photography Award 2024 - Bronze in Nature - Fine Art Photography Awards 23/24 - 3rd Place Winner in Landscape - One Eyeland World's Top 10 Black and White Photographers 2023 - 2 Silver and 1 Bronze - WPE International Photography Awards 3/3 2023 2 Gold, 2 Silver and 1 Bronze Awards in Landscape - BIFA Awards 2023 Silver Winner in Fine Art / Landscape - BIFA Awards 2023 Bronze Winner in Fine Art / Landscape - New York Photography Awards 2023 Silver Winner in Fine Art / Landscape - refocus Awards 2023 Black and White - Category Winner Gold in Landscape - refocus Awards 2023 Black and White - Bronze in Fine Art - Better Photography Magazine Photographer of the Year 2023 Three Silver Award - Imacres Awards 2023 3rd Place in Landscape and Honorable Mention - Imacres Awards 2023 3rd Place in Fine Art - WPE International Photography Awards 2/3 2023 Four Silver Awards in Landscape - Black and White Photo Awards 2023 3rd Place Winner in Nature/Landscape/Water - European Photography Awards 2023 Two Gold Winner in Fine Art Landscape and in Black and White Landscape - The Artist Gallery - 1st Place and 2 Honorable Mention in Landscape - Best Photography Awards 2022 - 1st Prize in Nature Category - WPE International Photography Awards 1/3 2023 Gold Award and two Silver Awards in Landscape - London Photography Awards 2023 Platinum Award in Fine Art / Nature - One Eyeland Photography Awards 2022 Bronze Medal in Fine Art / Landscape - The Artist Gallery - 3rd Place Black and White Photography 2023 - European Photography Awards 2022 Platinum Medal in Fine Art / Landscape - New York Photography Awards 2022 Silver Winner in Fine Art / Landscape - One Eyeland World's Top 10 Landscape Photographers 2022 - Two Silver and one Bronze - Better Photography Magazine Photographer of the Year 2022 Silver Award - 360 Degree Photo Awards 2022 Silver Award in Landscape - One Eyeland World's Top 10 Fine Art Photographers 2022 - Bronze in Landscapes - One Eyeland Photography Awards 2021 Silver Medal in Nature Landscape - One Eyeland World's Top 10 Landscape Photographers 2021 - Mountains - Bronze
