Come on Baby, Light my Fire

Come on Baby, Light my Fire is a reflection on the sexual objectification of women in mass erotic and nude photography that has become widespread in thematic publics on social networks.

I bring the monotony and cliché of poses, images and plots in these photographs to the point of absurdity. I shoot self-portraits in which I create parodies of frequently used plots and locations. I construct still lifes in which I reflect on phrases and words that have an erotic subtext. I capture the interiors of photo studios for nude photo sessions without heroes and heroines, but inflatable dolls with my face penetrate into some of them.

In all my work, I use hard artificial light to create an aesthetic that refers to advertising and artificiality. This approach shows that the nature of these images is deceptive.
