THE EROTICISM OF SEBASTIEN BARRIOLA
self-taught photographer based in the
Saint-Étienne region, he discovered photography later in life.
In his early years, he focused mainly on
landscape photography and, from time to time,
concert photography, drawing much of his inspiration from the work and vision of other artists.
More recently, his work has shifted toward
portrait and nude photography, searching for a more human approach and perhaps a more creative form of expression.
Rather than locking himself into a specific photographic style, his approach is simply centered around
creating images.

Instant karma.
AMATEUR FLESH: BLACKRAVEN4UNo matter if this summer you're stuck at home because your bank account is looking rough, or you're sipping champagne on the deck of a yacht off the coast of
Saint-Tropez. When someone feels that little urge to
grab attention, turn heads, show a bit more than necessary, or enjoy that thrill of being watched, the setting barely matters.
The girl wearing
ridiculously tiny shorts just to go buy ice at the neighborhood supermarket and the influencer casually walking around half naked in the paddock at the
Monaco Grand Prix are probably chasing the exact same thing. That feeling of being
seen.
Desired. Talked about. Remembered.
Because deep down, no matter how much we try to dress it up with labels, status or social differences, we all share way more things than we'd probably like to admit. The scenery changes, the bank balance changes, the cocktail in your hand changes… but the impulse stays exactly the same.
Some people do it from the balcony of a tiny apartment during a heatwave, while others do it at a
private party surrounded by celebrities and millionaires. But that complicit look, that need for attention, and that little
exhibitionist streak are still there. Exactly the same.
Because in the end, underneath the designer clothes, the bikini bought at a flea market, or the dress that costs more than a month's rent, we're all cut from pretty much the same cloth.
Exhibitionism doesn't care about social class. It’s not about money. It’s about attitude.
