Allow me to give you all this review of the lovely Miss Ariane's website. I've recently been paying for a month’s worth of membership and thought I'd share my experience. Hopefully Ariane also reads this and uses this as constructive criticism to improve her site even more.
The goodA lot of photo content in high quality, and I mean a lot! There are many different sets and the numbers of pictures in those sets are quite high. The pictures are in a very high resolution as well. However as you will learn below, all is not good.
Ariane looks amazing! Her body is a dream. In a few of the never sets she's wearing a wig or something, because she has long hair (and let me tell you, it looks awesome on her).
There is great variety in the clothing worn in the pictures. Lots of latex and lingerie.
The updates are plenty. Even within that single month I was a member, there were quite a few updates.
The badThe navigation on the site sucks big time. The way you move into each gallery and back out is really annoying. The whole site is programmed in asp.net it seems and the developer went to great lengths to ensure that you couldn't download the material on the site easy.
The images are scaled according to your browser window, so if you want to view the images (and download them) in their highest resolution, you have to have a high native resolution on your screen. The images seem to be resized server-side and then placed as backgrounds, so there is no way around this.
The images cannot be downloaded (easily). It's not just your ordinary Javascript preventing you from right-clicking, again it seems like some asp.net stuff preventing you from saving the image. I found a way around this however and could download each image (I'm sorry, but I'm not going to share the way I did that, since Ariane chose this solution for a reason, dislike it as I may). Each image had to be downloaded individually, which took forever since there are so many images on the site.
Even though Ariane looks amazing, the images don’t seem to be taken by a professional photographer. At best it is a photographer with some semi-professional lighting, but only some idea of what he/she is doing - I know, 'cause I work as a model photographer myself and have been the exact same place with my images in the beginning of my career. Often the feet or hands are cut off (odd crops of the images). Many of the sets have a dull look to them, i.e. no "punch". It's like they are raw files right off the camera with no post production to them. Quite a few sets are a bit underexposed as well. This feeling that it is an amateur photographer is further enhanced by the fact that many of the images in a set are very similar. If you imagine 5-6 images in a single set where Ariane looks almost the same and has the exact same pose with only the tiniest of subtle changes. This happens numerous times in each set. Again it's like they just decided to post every picture taken with the camera, without taking the time to choose the best in each set. Of course it's nice that there are hundreds of images in a set, but if many are extremely similar to each other, then it's really not that good an idea (if you ask me).
The first sets had some minor optical flaws, like they used a cheap lens on the camera. The later image sets are much more crips and high quality, but then the photographer starts to go all "artsy" and use an extremely shallow depth in many of the pictures. There is also a lot more close-ups of busts, nipples, tush, clit, etc. Personally I prefer to view women in general and Ariane in particular in half or full body shots. The shallow depth ruins the experience a bit for me, 'cause let's face it - you are there to view her beautiful body and her large breasts, not an extreme close up of her nipple or clitoris
A minor detail, I personally found sad, was that while Ariane looked awesome in different latex and lingerie outfits, she had a tendency to quite quickly progress to showing her naked pussy (i.e. stripping out of her thong or simply not wearing one in the shot). Some may find this great, but I like the look of a great ass in a thong, so I would personally have preferred that she kept the thong on (or wore one to begin with first) for a little while, before taking it off. Also it would have been great if she popped out her beautiful tits while still wearing the dresses, but often she just skips from fully clothed to almost naked quickly. This is not true for every set, but for enough sets that I noticed it and felt it would have been better otherwise.
She also needs to work on her expressions. She has a tendency to look exactly the same in all the sets (her facial expression). In a few of the newer sets there are smiles and a more sensual look, which looks awesome on her.
The video content is nearly non-existent. There are a few really bad movies. One is even in the dreaded "vertical video" mode which only the worst of amateurs choose when they use their IPhones to shoot video. This is sad, 'cause as I said - Ariane looks amazing!!!
The verdictAlthough I have far more negative than positive things to say about my experience, I don't regret signing up. It is very likely that I will sign up again in a year or so to view the new stuff. I do wish however that Ariane will have fixed some of the flaws I mention. I get that she's very protective of her content, but it's to the point of being annoying for those who are actually paying for the services. The minor stuff like her poses, the amateurish photography and her facial expressions, I'm sure is something that will see an improvement as she grows as a model and become more experienced. Perhaps she should make contact with a real pro and have him/her guide her and direct her movement and expressions. I think that would do wonders for her. In my opinion she should also try to be more selective with her images. Rather 50 great ones in a set, than 250 mixed ones where many are extremely similar to each other. Last some quality video content from time to time would be nice… and learn to shoot horizontally
I hope you can use this review to decide if you should sign up or not. As I said I found it to be worthwhile despite the flaws of the site and content and since I’m a fan of hers I can only suggest that you support her – at least she’s sharing her lovely body with us. Last, please note that all this is my subjective view. You may have been a paying member as well and had a completely different experience.
