avErotica was created by photographer Anton Volkov (av) who is considered one of the Top Ten photographers at MET Art. Like Galitsin and Alexandre Fedorov, Anton Volkov wanted to create a personal site to portray his work and as a result, he created avErotica.
There are a number of ingredients that make avErotica such a delightful softcore site. The easiest way to describe the work of Anton Volkov is to compare his style with the early photography of Gregory Galitsin and Alexandre Fedorov.
Like Gregory Galitsin and Alexandre Fedorov, Anton Volkov uses props that help set the central theme of the photo shoot. They all make use of pastel colors via props, background or setting thereby creating an atmosphere that can propel the viewer into another time or dimension. Lastly they create their photo series and videos in the most surreal venues.
The logical question is, "Is there a difference?"
Actually there is a difference. It is easy to say that the work of Anton Volkov is superior, but much more difficult to explain why.
Simply put, avErotica and the work of Anton Volkov is an expression of love.
I assume that many will smile and close this page as a result of the above statement... but that is the difference between Anton Volkov and many other artistic photographers.
Those that are still reading want to know on what basis this outlandish statement is made!
First... think back a moment... to a time in your life where you met someone that you really thought was special. Regardless if they loved you or not... you fell in love with them. Even now, as you think back months, years or decades... you smile as you remember those special moments that meant so much to you... perhaps even both of you. That my friend was true love... unconditional raw emotional longing.
If you ever see an Anton Volkov gallery, you will know in your heart that the reason avErotica is such a fantastic site is not the props, not the colors, not the setting. The reason is the love between the model and the photographer. Anton Volkov claims that he falls in love with each of his models every time they work together. If you take a close look... you will see that they have fallen in love with him as well!
GeneralThe easiest way to describe the site from Anton Volkov's perspective is to let him speak for himself regarding his work and objectives:
True beauty is something that radiates from within all women, that makes you forget your everyday troubles and drowns you in pure joy. You will often see professional models on erotic websites who pose almost every day and do not put their true feelings in posing nude; For them being naked is just their job. Unlike them, most of my models are just ordinary girls that you can easily meet in everyday situations, walking on the street, sitting in a cafe, or even living right next door. My work is to discover these natural girls and share their true beauty with you.NavigationEntering the member's area is just like a quick refresh of the tour page. The newest gallery is prominently featured along with the last 6 photo gallery updates. There are also direct links to the last few high definition movies that were recently added to avErotica.
All Top Models have biographical information presented that allows you to get to know the models better. Anton explains how he met the model and gives a lot of personal information about the model and his personal feelings for her. Each model bio sheet contains thumbs to all of her existing photo galleries and video selections, each of which opens in its own window.
The main page of the member's area has an excellent site navigation selection to move between the model listings, photo galleries, movies, and the blog that chronicles the activities of Anton Volkov in his search for beautiful Russian and Ukrainian women. The blog is actually pretty entertaining and a sample of the entries can be found in the tour.
The pages that contain the photo galleries are arranged according to month... each offering thumbnails of galleries two months at a time. That means that the thumbnails for the photo galleries for January and February 2008 are all on one page.
Movies are presented a little different. They are listed chronologically and have some very entertaining descriptions regarding their content, composition, setting, and other related information as well as technical data.
Picture GalleriesAnton Volkov is foremost a photographer which means that photography is the main focus of avErotica. Photo galleries have new content added to the site on a daily basis. Galleries have 80 to 160 pictures per gallery allowing you to find some very special pictures.
Picture quality is fantastic in terms of composition, color, lighting, focus, and softness. The pictures seem to pull you into the scene almost as if you are there in person.
The "WoW" factor is applicable to avErotica. I first looked at a couple pictures of Liza and thought "WoW!" Then I looked at a gallery with Sasha and "Oh WoW!" escaped my lips. Pamela had me speechless as she passes a very personal message to viewers.
Pictures may be downloaded and / or viewed in three sizes - 1000x667 (small), 1667x2500 (medium), or 2912x4368 (large).
Some may ask why would you want a picture so big?
The larger size allows you the opportunity to print it as a poster. It also looks fantastic on a large 1920 HD screen.
There is, perhaps, another more important reason why you would want the larger sized images.
They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. The larger picture size allows you to look into the eyes of the model and fathom her thoughts. This is where you know that she is truly enjoying herself and how much she loves making the images for you.
I personally love a pretty face. If I had a wish, I would like to see a couple head to shoulder pictures in each gallery where one could really have a greater than life size image of the tremendous beauty that is captured on film. Some of the expressions are priceless... and certainly not staged! When her eyes say she loves you... or smiles knowingly... the viewer can not help but be moved by the expression.
Video GalleriesMovies are also a major feature of avErotica though there are many more picture galleries than video. avErotica offers a nice selection of video that ranges from 8 to 10 minutes and Anton Volkov adds new videos to avErotica on a weekly basis.
The High Definition screen size is really nice at 1280x720 in Divx format. Lower resolution video formats include wmv and mov with a screen size of 420x240 running at 1620kbps. 420x240 seems a bit small, but I ran the lower resolution wmv videos at 200% or 840x480 and the videos were very acceptable.
Some movies have limited comments from the models but most just contain music. The videos feature beautiful models doing something natural depending on the venue. She sees you... knows you are there... and welcomes you with her warm smile and innocent twinkle in her eye.
StatisticsStatistics will change as will technical specifications of the content on the site over the foreseeable future. Rather than give statistics, it is better to view the tour and look for those number yourself. At this stage, the site has a fantastic offering of photo galleries and videos to keep their members quite entertained and happy. The site will only continue to be better and better as time evolves.
ConclusionAs a personal artistic nude site developed and maintained by one of the most accomplished and promising erotic photographers in the world, avErotica may very well be the best artistic nude site on the internet today. Members get great value for money, unsurpassed quality in terms of picture galleries and videos, and exclusive content featuring fresh innocent beauties not found on any other site.
Some predict that Anton Volkov will fill the void left by Gregory Galitsin and that avErotica will grow into one of the most popular erotic nude photography sites in the world. I have to agree with that!
