In the tranquil stillness of early morning at Lake Bled, Slovenia, a dense fog blanketed the serene waters, obscuring the landscape in a veil of mystery. As the sun began its ascent, golden light pierced through the mist, slowly unveiling the lake's most iconic feature—the enchanting island at its center. Emerging from the fog, the island revealed a charming church with its towering spire, accompanied by a cluster of quaint houses. The scene felt like a painting, a magical moment where nature's beauty met the quiet charm of human architecture.

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.
