Erotic Eye: the photography workshop exploring sexuality without filters or prejudice

Photographers Donna Ferrato and Tomeu Coll, known for their exhibition in Palma on gender violence, join forces in Marseille to teach Erotic Eye. This workshop proposes exploring sexuality through photography, moving away from pornography and respecting each participant's boundaries. Group coexistence, like a family, allows attendees to learn to look without prejudice and understand sexuality as a natural aspect of life.

The technical approach: how the camera becomes a tool for self-knowledge 📸

The workshop uses basic photographic techniques to capture intimacy without falling into the explicit. It works with natural light, suggestive framing, and compositions that prioritize emotion over detail. Participants learn to manage focal length and selective focus to create images that speak of desire, tenderness, or vulnerability. Technical perfection is not sought, but visual honesty. Each session includes self-portrait and couple photography exercises, where boundaries are negotiated before shooting.

And all this without anyone asking for your ID to enter the workshop 😏

The most curious thing about Erotic Eye is that, despite dealing with sex, no one will end up on a paid website or in a compromising chat. The organizers promise there will be no forced poses or lecherous glances, only people with cameras trying to capture the beauty of the everyday. Of course, if you were expecting to see something similar to an OnlyFans video, better stay home: here the only pornography is from poorly adjusted Instagram filters.
