It's not often that we come across a woman as talented behind the camera as she is in front of it. Hot looks and a skillful hand are just two of Helen Volga's impressive attributes. As both a photographer and a model, Helen offers up a unique perspective on amateur erotica. Her site offers original, exclusive photos of real girls from Europe. She promises no silicone tits and only about half the girls shave. She'll shoot anyone between the ages of 18 and 50 if she is good-looking and willing to do explicit posing. That's quite a range that made me nervous for a minute, but looking through the tour pictures it appears that she does stick to the good-looking requirement so whether these girls are sporting unusual colored hair or a few extra pounds, all are appealing in a girl-next-door kind of way.
The member's area currently offers approximately 260 galleries for a total of around 26,000 photos. That's a good sized collection of exclusive content and it's no wonder it's so large thanks to daily updates. Scrolling through the updates page you can see thumbnails and read descriptions of the most recent additions. The other way to browse the content is through the model index. The girls have anywhere from 1 to 39 galleries. Unfortunently, I felt the site was limited in its browse options. Categories, both for the women and the galleries, would be nice. The women are so varied that the site is definitely going to need more organization as it grows. The action in the galleries also covers many themes. There's smoking, fisting, watersports, dildos, softcore posing, stockings, latex, playful girl-girl, and lots of masturbation. I'd love to see more browse options. Quality is very nice, as you'd expect. The pictures are good sized at 1024x768 and clear. They definitely still look amateur but they're clean enough to also look pro.
The number of videos is much smaller, numbering just 15 right now. There's not even a separate video section to speak of (again, a weakness in the site organization). Most of the videos are only about a minute long so clearly this section takes a backseat to the photos. There are no video options either. Just 800k avis. Quality was pretty good, it's just a shame there aren't more of them.
Helen offers up a few extras like 8 hours worth of live shows each week and a forum. Most interesting, though, is her option for you to Be a Producer. For $10 you can direct your own shoot. Each week a new model is offered as the model of the week. You can either choose her or Helen to be in a gallery shot just for you according to your specifications. You can tell her exactly what to do. That's a pretty cool feature!
Helen Volga has a lot to offer to amateur fans. She's got a good sized collection of original content with more coming every single day. Quality is nice and she seems to have a genuine interest in her fans' enjoyment. I'd like to see the site made a little more user-friendly with more browse features and video options, though. The content is strong, it's only the technical aspects of the site that could be improved upon. $25 a month is more than fair for Helen's site. With so many different types of women and scenes online, this is a good join for those with a taste for all things amateur.

Review: 10-10-06 |
Seven months have passed since our last look at Helen Volga and her site still seems to be doing well. It's grown quite a bit thanks to continued daily updates, from 26,000 photos to 36,000 and from 15 videos to 25. Other than that I don't think much else has really changed. The content quality is still very nice and the price is still fair at $25 a month. I hope she continues on this track because this is a sexy, well put together site.
Score decreased from 81.1 to 81.0.
