Here's a change-up from the norm; for those of you who still like it soft and sensual, GraceAndBeauty.com invite you to "a celebration of feminine sensuality", with "Fine Art style nudes and erotic images by PhotoArtist Jay GreenMan." Currently there are over 60+ models here, "North American" beauties "photographed with love and dignity." Now isn't that nice? For a reasonable $17.95 (recurs at $14.95 per month) members get access to about 7,000+ high-quality images and 3+ videos in this one-of-a-kind, softcore site.
Right away it's clear that the site design is very amateur in style and although steps have been made to make navigating the site easier, there's still room for a more stream-lined re-design overall. There is a way to search by model (no particular order that I can see) or by theme: lacy things, amazing hair, the "girl next door", killer smiles, classic nudes, beyond color, playful flirts, perfect form, anything goes, the great outdoors, bathing beauty, extremely exotic, etc., etc. There are so many "categories" of content here that a drop down menu somewhere on the site, listing them all might make browsing them easier, but overall I like the fact that they've taken the time to break them down for us at least. It also looks like new content is added weekly (Friday's) and the models here are real beauties; simply gorgeous creatures. The photography here is fantastic and innovative. The shots are perfectly crisp and clear with great ranges of focus, movement and lots of creativity to create different moods. Although there does appear to be some photoshopping here, many of the sets offer a very natural approach to the models' beauty.
Images are offered in 2 sizes with the large ones going up to as high as 960x1445 pixels in size. A nice addition to them would be a zip file option making downloading to your hard drive much easier. There aren't very many videos here yet and the 4 that they do offer are somewhat short (about 4-5 minutes). The quality is very nice, however, streaming between 500k and 900k. You'll find pillow fights in slow motion, model interviews, bath time fun and more. Even though this is a softcore site focusing on photography, I really like the extra depth of sensuality that is offered with the videos and hope that they have plans to add quite a few more in the future. Really everything about this site is great except the somewhat awkward and amateur site design. It's not fitting at all for this super high-quality, exclusive content site. The price is right, though and I expect great things for the future of things here.
