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.

AMATEUR FLESH: LILLY BRUNETTEBoredom can be far more dangerous than it looks.
And I’m not talking about that random Sunday afternoon boredom where you end up watching stupid videos online while thinking your life is going to shit. I’m talking about a different kind of emptiness. A quieter one. A more constant one. That feeling of
lack of motivation, of having no clear goals, no new stimuli, or nothing that genuinely makes you feel alive.
Because when you have too much free time and very few things capable of generating excitement, your brain starts looking for
dopamine wherever it can find it. Something that breaks the routine. Something that boosts your ego. Something that makes you feel watched, desired or simply… alive for a few minutes.
And that’s usually where the photos begin.
At first it’s almost nothing. A suggestive photo. A selfie showing a little more than usual. A picture taken between laughs with the thought of “whatever, it’s not a big deal”. But then… the reaction from people starts arriving. The messages. The compliments. The attention. That mix of
risk,
excitement and instant validation that the internet knows how to deliver better than anyone else.
And what started as just a way to kill some time slowly becomes something pretty
addictive. Because the response you get is usually far more positive than negative. And because, if we’re being honest, there’s something incredibly exciting about doing something that a part of you feels you probably shouldn’t be doing.
Our next
amateur knows exactly what we’re talking about.
Enjoy the photos she has already decided to share with the internet.
