Bondage USA is a website brought to you by Chuck Stevens whose work has been showcased in many "esthetic nude art photography" books including "The Body" and "Naked", as well as many erotic magazines like Playboy and Penthouse. Many of you might already by familiar with some of his work, but even if you're not, Bondage--USA.com will bring you up to speed with more than 2,079+ images of 36+ models, which is already a nice collection considering the short 6+ months the site has been online. A membership here will set you back less than $15 bucks, with an even cheaper recurring price of $10.95 per month.
The Good:
- Exclusive and artistic high quality nude photography covering some of your favorite BDSM stars and amateur girls like: Heather Gates, Chanta Rose, Kumi Monster, Hollie Stevens and more. Content is shot in color as well as beautiful black and whites, and feature hot models chained and tied, smoking, spreading, playing with toys, feet and even each other.
- All content is logged and dated. Members can expect to see a new image gallery added every 5-7 days with a lengthy scene description, preview images, and the option to view or download the gallery. You can also browse the models separately in alphabetical order.
- Image quality is very nice and the newest images (from mid December on) are as large as 1188x774 pixels. It's clear that Chuck Stevens is a well-seasoned photographer, and manages to take the bound & nude body and give it an artistic quality.
- Membership pricing is relatively cheap for an exclusive content site, and the price drops to an even more reasonable $10.95 recurring.
The Bad:
- Bondage USA is still an extremely small site and no video content to speak of. Given the inexpensive price tag I wouldn't consider this too much of a negative quality, but some substantial growth is clearly needed.
- Site design and navigation needs some work. All updates are posted on a single page, and while it works for now since there is so little content, in the very near future Stevens is going to have to consider adding browse features, content categories, etc.
- The models are listed in alphabetical order, but there is no bio information on them. This takes away from the site personality quite a bit considering there is so little content here anyway.
The Conclusion:
There's no question that Chuck Stevens has talent, especially when it comes to BDSM artistic nude photography. However, his barely 6 month old website is still very small and exclusively consists of 38+ photosets and no videos. If you're a fan of his work, then by all means check this site out, but lack of model information and browse options is something I would like to see addressed for the next time we're here. For now, this small collection is priced appropriately and is worth a look for fans of Bondage content and sexy photography.
