What: The Detroit Erotic Arts Collaborative (DEAC) is a unique closed event dedicated solely to the creation of fine art erotic photography. This includes, but is not limited to, artistic nudes, fetish, lingerie and pinup. The format is of the pre-scheduled trade variety in one hour intervals predetermined by the models and photographers prior to the event.

Who: Photographers and models 18+, from amateur to professional, are welcome, but only those screened for professional integrity will be allowed. This is not to be elitist, but due to the erotic nature of the DEAC, it is to ensure security within a professional and productive event. Makeup artists, hair stylists, fashion designers and fetish toy makers are also welcome.

When: The DEAC events are two to three times a year and generally two days available for shooting...Saturday from noon to 8pm and Sunday from noon to 6pm. You can shoot as little or as much as you desire on either or both days. Visit the DEAC Event Section to see upcoming and past DEAC events.

Where: The locations of each shoot are disclosed only to registered participants. Each location is specifically and carefully chosen for its unique (mostly dilapidated) ambiance and hold numerous rooms, levels and areas to shoot in privacy away from the general public. Photographs of upcoming and past locations can be viewed in the DEAC Event Galleries.

Security: Floor monitors will be at hand to ensure the overall security and peace while keeping the public away from your creativity. They will also periodically walk all the areas for to be of any assistance if needed. They will be strict in upholding the DEAC Rules, but are doing so for your safety and the greater good of all participants as a whole.

Workshops: Occasionally, DEAC will coordinate a variety of workshops and seminars designed to cover a diversity of topics beneficial to our art presented in large part by the Society of Erotic Art and select honored guests. These will range from guides to shooting erotica, post production techniques, exhibiting/marketing erotica, 2257 federal regulations and much more. Also featured are world renowned photographers and artists to showcase their work and techniques. These workshops are open to the general public on a first-come basis. Visit the DEAC Group Section to see upcoming and past DEAC workshops.
