About Artist

Thomas de Franzoni

Thomas de Franzoni is a fine art photographer who uses minimalism as a language of emotion. His photographs are not meant to describe — they are meant to feel. Each image is a quiet pause, a breath held in time. Whether capturing a lone tree, an abstract corner of architecture, or the soft undulation of a hillside, Thomas reveals what often goes unnoticed: the stillness beneath the surface, the presence within absence. Through carefully composed lines, open spaces, and delicate contrasts, his work invites the viewer inward. It speaks of memory, fragility, and the invisible weight of things unsaid. There is no noise, no spectacle — only the essential, shaped by light. For Thomas, photography is not a record of reality, but a meditation. A way to listen, not just to what is in front of the lens, but to what echoes within. - Monovisions Photography Awards 2025 - 1st Place Winner in Fine Art - BPM Photographer of the Year 2025 - Gold in Revealing Nature - BPM Photographer of the Year 2025 - 2 Silver in Landscape - BPM Photographer of the Year 2025 - 4 Silver in Open Theme - reFocus Color Photography 2025 - Silver in Minimalism - reFocus Black and White 2025 - Gold in Minimalism - reFocus World Photo Annual 2024 - Photographer of the Year in Minimalism - Exposure One Awards 2024 - Discovery of the Year in Architecture - 1st Prize at Città Fiera Photo Contest - Color Section - Imacres Awards 2024 1st Place in Landscape - reFocus Awards 2023 Black and White - Category Winner Gold in Landscape - First Prize at Lago di Garda Photo Challenge 2018 - The Artist Gallery 2023 - 1st Place in Landscape - Best Photography Awards 2022 - 1st Prize in Nature Category - BIFA Awards 2023 Silver Winner in Fine Art / Landscape - reFocus Black and White 2025 - Silver in Fine Art - reFocus World Photo Annual 2024 - Silver in Nature - Exposure One Awards 2024 - Silver Award in Landscape - reFocus Awards 2024 Black and White - Silver in Minimalism - Black and White Photo Awards 2024 - Silver Mention in Landscape - One Eyeland World's Top 10 Landscape Photographers 2023 - Two Silver and Two Bronze - reFocus The Color Photography Award 2024 - Silver in Minimalism - Black and White Photo Awards 2024 Silver Medal Winner in Fine Art - One Eyeland World's Top 10 Landscape Photographers 2022 - Two Silver and one Bronze - Exposure One Awards - Bronze in Conceptual Pro Category - Better Photography Magazine Photographer of the Year 2024 Two Silver Award and One Bronze Award - Better Photography Magazine Photographer of the Year 2022 Silver Award - 360 Degree Photo Awards 2022 Silver Award in Landscape - Best Photography Awards 2023 - 3rd Place Winner in Nature - The Artist Gallery - 3rd Place in Places 2024 - Fine Art Photography Awards 23/24 - 3rd Place Winner in Landscape - Imacres Awards 2023 3rd Place in Landscape - Imacres Awards 2023 3rd Place in Fine Art - The Artist Gallery - 3rd Place Black and White Photography 2023 - One Eyeland Photography Awards 2021 Silver Medal in Nature Landscape - reFocus The Color Photography Award 2024 - Bronze in Nature - Better Photography Magazine Photographer of the Year 2023 Three Silver Award - BIFA Awards 2023 Bronze Winner in Fine Art / Landscape - reFocus Black and White 2025 - Bronze in Architecture - refocus Awards 2023 Black and White - Bronze in Fine Art - Black and White Photo Awards 2023 3rd Place Winner in Nature/Landscape/Water - One Eyeland Photography Awards 2022 Bronze Medal in Fine Art / Landscape - One Eyeland World's Top 10 Fine Art Photographers 2022 - Bronze in Landscapes - One Eyeland World's Top 10 Landscape Photographers 2021 - Mountains - Bronze - WPE International Photography Awards First Half 2025 - Silver Award in Landscape - WPE International Photography Awards Annual Final 2024 - Silver Award in Landscape - Epson Pano Awards 2024 - Silver Award in Nature / Landscape - EPA European Photography Awards - Platinum Winner in Nature / Landscape - EPA European Photography Awards - Gold Winner in Fine Art / Nature - WPE International Photography Awards 1/3 2024 Silver Award - London Photography Awards 2024 - Gold Winner in Fine Art / Nature - WPE International Photography Awards 3/3 2023 2 Gold, 2 Silver and 1 Bronze Awards in Landscape - New York Photography Awards 2023 Silver Winner in Fine Art / Landscape - WPE International Photography Awards 2/3 2023 Four Silver Awards in Landscape - European Photography Awards 2023 Two Gold Winner in Fine Art Landscape and in Black and White Landscape - 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 - European Photography Awards 2022 Platinum Medal in Fine Art / Landscape - New York Photography Awards 2022 Silver Winner in Fine Art / Landscape
