Restrained Elegance

Review by Duke

Released Nov 7, '12 , Written Oct 31, '12

Intro

Restrained Elegance is a BDSM/fetish photography site that has an exclusive collection of photos and video scenes. The photography angle plays a key role here as the content is artistic, erotic, and glamour style so the focus is on that type of fetish action. The guest tour samples will give you a good feel for the models and type of content that is featured.

The Pros

Exclusive Stylish Erotic/Glamour Fetish Content.

Restrained Elegance does a very nice job delivering on their stated theme. The photographer Hywel refers to his collection as 'erotic' and 'fine-art' bondage. The models here are sexy and the shoots do have a good deal of style and glamour feel that is right in line with what they tout on the tour. The photography has a professional look and the setting are varied with mostly solo model shoots along with some of two girls together. They utilize all different indoor/outdoor settings, all sorts of clothing and restraints, and a decent number of models in the mix.

Sharp Picture Quality, Zip Files; HD Level Newer Videos.

Photos here are very clear and come in at 1200x900 for the online images. They have zip files at that level and also many newer sets have HiDef Zips with gigantic photos at around 6480 x 4856. Newer videos have MP4 HD some in 1920x1080 and other 1280x720. Photography sites like this should be offering high-res/high-def options and Restrained Elegance does deliver in that regard.

Other Good Stuff:

They have useful bits of data posted including video file sizes, video running time, image sizes, zip file sizes, number of image in each gallery, etc.
Site design fits nicely with the content style and they have useful browse tools like a dedicated video section and model index.
All scenes are clearly date-stamped with update information. They add content several times per week and the site has been around for years.

The Cons

Video Formats Vary, Some Scenes Broken into Parts.

The videos section here is decent sized however it does play a secondary role to the photography. Most models don't have a video available. In terms of options the videos do vary. Older vids don't have the HD level and the newer ones do not have the WMV format options which is available on the older scenes. Both the videos and galleries have some shoots that are broken down into multiple parts and added as separate update items.

Minor Negatives:

While there is a models index for navigation purposes they don't provide any bio info or physical stats on most of the models.
Some content niche breakdown would be have been helpful. This type of browsing is limited to a keyword search tool. The videos section is also one long page without any categorization.
The price here is more expensive than most other paysites.

The other

Hywel (photographer/webmaster) has a blog which he updates about once per month.
Some videos have background music.

Bottom Line

A solid bdsm/fetish collection of photography & videos with an erotic/glamour style.

Restrained Elegance is a long running site that offers up an all exclusive collection of erotic fine-art bondage and fetish content. Surfers who like the samples of content and models on the guest tour are likely to enjoy the member%u2019s area archive although the price is a bit higher than most paysites.
