This is a first - Helen Volga is not only a photographer, but a model as well! At HelenVolga.com she promises daily updates and 2 new European models each week. Boasting a professionally designed tour and a member's area that follows, you can indeed expect daily updates, over 25,500+ high quality images and 16+ short videos for $24.95 per month. All this doesn't go without saying that there's room for improvement here but the site overall is a great start for an exclusive amateur girl site with a basic design that has potential for much more than it currently offers, and the daily updates are not such a bad incentive to join either. Unfortunately the site loaded very slow for me during this review so that's something I hope is temporary, or that gets taken care of promptly.
Currently the only ways to view the content is either by update or by model (71+). All the 71+ models are listed in no particular order (that I can tell). Helen is the first model listed with over 37+ galleries and 2+ videos. Following her is Sunny with over 24+ galleries and then there are a few others here and there that have up to 10+ galleries but most of the models only have between 1 and 5. There is a large variety of all natural, amateur girls & women here, each offering their own exquisiteness and finesse to the site. You will find lots of nudity and solo masturbation as well as public nudity, girl-girl, watersports, B&W, stockings, and more. The images are nice quality although still somewhat amateur in style and are as large as 1024x768 pixels, which is just teetering on being high-res quality. This is where my wish list comes in! What I'd love to see here are even larger image sizes (maybe even having 2 sizes offered) with an option for zip file download, and even categories for the content making navigating specifics easier.
On to the videos where I'd love to see a section of its own added for easier browsing. Right now you'll have to look through the model list to find who's got 1+ of the 16+ short clips that are available so far. Helen has 2 clips of her own; one of her jumping rope and another 5 minute masturbation scene. Another model on the site, Veronica, also offers 2+ videos with one being a jump roping scene and the other being a masturbation one. These are all AVI files that play in full-length. The quality of them is pretty good but along with more file options for download/stream (such as WMV), I'd also love to see even higher quality streams (WMV 700k-900k+). Helen Volga also offers a web cam with chat 2 days per week, twice each of those days, as well as a member’s forum and even the opportunity to produce a shoot for the model of the week. All these things come together in one nicely packaged site that could definitely stand to improve on its navigational/download features, but overall offers a great start to a softcore, amateur content site.

Review: 10-13-06 |
I almost forgot what a nice looking site this is! HelenVolga.com is still going strong with daily updates and unique amateur models. The total number of images is up to about 40,000+, with 25+ videos and close to 100+ models. Nothing much else looks to be different here, and that's not such a bad thing. Although it does look like the image size might be larger than before (1472x983 pixels) and live cam shows are still offered twice per week. I'll be changing around a few of my scores a bit, but I definitely think Helen Volga is worth a look for fans of high quality, exclusive amateur content.
Score increased from 80.0 to 84.0.
