Donna Ferrato
Erotic Eye Workshop
16th - 17th July, 2017
Registration deadline: 7 July 2017

There is still time to enroll for the first appointments at COTM Summer School. Professional and amateur photographers are invited to take part in a separate meeting with the top photographer Donna Ferrato.

 

Donna Ferrato will lead an Erotic Eye Workshop, a guided tour through the world of eroticism, symbols and fantasies. At its heart is the belief that we are born to love and be loved, and that, in the words of the late great Czech photographer Miroslav Tichý, "All of society is based on sexuality". The analysis of the American photographer is an examination of the complexities of sex, love and violence, which are the cornerstones of her work. For Cortona On The Move Ferrato will lead an intensive two-day workshop. Participants will begin to develop their own unique erotic eye and learn how to delve into more intimate situations with their subjects. At the end of the two working days, Donna Ferrato, at her own discretion, will choose to which participant she will donate an original signed copy of Love & Dust, of the value of 300US$.

 

Donna Ferrato (1949, Waltham, Massachusetts, US) is an internationally-known documentary photographer. Her gifts for exploration, illumination, and documentation coupled with a commitment to revealing the darker sides of humanity, have made her a giant in the medium. She has four books including “Living with the Enemy” which sold over 40,000 copies, and “Love & Lust”, published by Aperture, and numerous awards to her commitment and activism as a photographer and a women. She founded a non- profit called Domestic Abuse Awareness which she ran for over a decade and in 2014 launched a campaign called “I Am Unbeatable”, which features women who have left their abusers. Currently, Ferrato is documenting her rapidly changing New York neighborhood of Tribeca for a new book.
