Restrained Elegance

Review by Maggie

Released Jan 11, '15 , Written Jan 7, '15

Intro

Restrained Elegance features "the finest bondage photos and bondage videos in the world." The erotic fetish photography site offers beautiful models in sexy rope bondage, captured in super high quality pictures and videos. They've been keeping members happy since 2001, and over the years they've stayed at the top of their game for quality and stayed true to their niche.

The Pros

Exclusive niche material.

These are all exclusive scenes featuring beautiful models in bondage. Hywel's fine art bondage keeps things classy, with artistic photography techniques and tasteful poses that equate to a very erotic fetish experience. There is full nudity, but it doesn't get terribly kinky. The fun comes from the intricate rope bondage and sexy themes and scenarios you find throughout.

High quality content.

I was impressed with just how big and sharp the photos and videos are. The images are offered in sizes up to 6400 x 4800! These pictures are huge and beautiful. The videos are also nicely done, with the latest scenes offered as 1080p high definition movies. Quality is definitely a big strength of this site.

Other Good Stuff:

Updates come often. This week alone saw 7 galleries and 1 new video, keeping the site growing at a great pace.
Photos can be downloaded in zip files in two image sizes.
Videos can be streamed in browser using Flash and downloaded, typically in the newer scenes as mp4s in two quality settings.
There are some helpful tools for getting around the site, including a model index, advanced category search, and a keyword search.

The Cons

Older videos aren't HD, not a large video collection.

Restrained Elegance has just 132 movies online, not nearly what I would expect from a site that has been up for 14 years. Additionally, the older scenes are not HD. They still look good, just don't come expecting a massive HD collection.

Minor Negatives:

The first month's membership is expensive, at $40. Thankfully after that it drops to $30.
Video formats vary. As you go back in the collection, you'll find wmvs and real files instead of mp4s.
There are no model biographies.

Bottom Line

A very high quality collection of exclusive glamour bondage scenes.

Restrained Elegance continues to impress, with a high quality collection of exclusive niche scenes. Glamour fans will enjoy this artistic take on bondage, and anyone can appreciate these high quality photos and videos! There are a few areas where the site could upgrade, but if you make it past that initially expensive month, I think you'll find plenty to love about Restrained Elegance.
