Naked By Review
Date:March 28th, 2007
Score: Full 4/5
Niche: Erotic Nudes
Main Draw: The evocative and erotic photography of two french photographers, with a twist. There's plenty of art nude sites out there, but so few capture the brilliant personalities and love of life that the models have. Nakedby does.
Design: The design on the tour is what you get for the member's area as well - clean, simple, and effective, with a large dose of sopistication.
Navigation: The left sidebar has all of the website sections - updates, models, movies, mysterious girls, prints, goodies, let us know, and links. You can also browse through sets via the model directory, which contains a brief bio and links to the sets they are featured in.
Pictures: The photography really took my breath away. While I've seen plenty of high quality nude photography, there is something in the way that they capture the girls featured here. You can see the personality and life in each model, and there's little if any real photoshopping going on in post production.
I'm guessing that that is the main thing that caught my eye - just how naturally stunning these ladies are. They seem to really let their real emotions show - they don't seem cold, haughty, or aloof at all. There's a nice variety in the sets and shoot locations, along with the outfits (there's some really nice retro and pinup themed sets). I was also happy to see a few hairy models show up on an artistic nude site - it's about time someone realizes that the ladies don't need to be shaved to make it at an erotic nude site!
Each photo comes in three sizes: 800px, 1200x, and 3,000px. Each photo opens in a new window, and sets are 60 + photos each and come in zip sets for easy downloading. There are thirty models, most of whom have multiple photo and video sets.
Movies: These are HD quality movies that come in Divx, WMV, and Quicktime formats. They are super high quality (720x576), and all movies have their length listed (which is always a welcome feature). The videos are primarily solo softcore shoots, showcasing the lovely ladies in their animated glory.
Speed Everything downloaded fast for me, and browsing speed wasn't an issue either.
Originality: The photography is all done in house and is exclusive, and the creativity in the sets is refreshing.
Overall Ease of Use
Updates: Daily
Extras: You can get limited edition prints of their photography if you'd like something to hang on the wall (great conversation piece, that's for sure!). They also have desktop wallpapers (one of which I'm using right now), along with having some nice intros on the sets.
Annoyances Everything was wonderful
Is It Worth it? I really enjoyed this site, and the only thing I want is more of this great french erotic photography. Plus, it's priced very competitively when you go with the recurring options compared to other erotic art sites.
Price: 9.95/week | 19.95/month (recurring) | 29.95/month (non recurring) | 49.95/3 months (recurring)
