Clitopatra

Who is Clitopatra?

Clitopatra is a French filmmaker, photographer, and artist based between Paris and the French Riviera. Her path to adult filmmaking is anything but conventional — she spent over 20 years working in fashion and interior design, followed by a decade dedicated to photography, before stepping behind the camera to direct erotic films just two years ago. That richness of background shows in her work. Largely self-taught across most of her creative disciplines, Clitopatra chose her name as a deliberate nod to Cleopatra — a figure of power, femininity, and sensuality — while placing intimacy at the absolute center of her work. She positions herself at the intersection of alternative and mainstream cinema, refusing to belong to either world fully. Her creative philosophy is built on one core principle: "I want to capture pleasure from those I film, as authentically as possible." This means real pleasure, real chemistry, and real orgasms — not performance for the camera, but genuine human connection caught on film. Rather than projecting personal fantasies onto her performers, she films encounters that celebrate mutual discovery and erotic exploration, spanning heterosexual, queer, and BDSM dynamics, always guided by kindness, consent, and deep respect for her collaborators. Visually, Clitopatra draws from a rich constellation of influences — fashion photographers like Peter Lindbergh, Helmut Newton, and Guy Bourdin sit alongside fine artists like Van Gogh, Camille Claudel, Degas, and Toulouse-Lautrec. The result is a signature aesthetic: dreamlike, emotionally layered, and deeply attentive to beauty in all its forms. She works closely with composers Salvo Nucci and Ave Prima, who create original soundtracks that give her films an immersive, almost cinematic quality. Beyond directing, Clitopatra offers erotic photography sessions and intimate video portraits for individuals and couples across all identities and orientations — a practice designed to foster body confidence, self-expression, and comfort with one's own desire. It's no coincidence that ERIKALUST found its match in Clitopatra — we both share the belief that porn can be beautiful, emotionally honest, and genuinely pleasurable for everyone on and off screen.
