This shrine not far from where I live has always fascinated me. With the transversal light of the early morning it is possible to create truly unique plays of light and shadow.

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.
