| Review of Viv Thomas:
Viv Thomas is another hot shot glamour photographer who has been published in many magazines etc. and his full name is Vivian Leonard Thomas. Maybe you have not heard of him like me but don't write it off just because of that because this site is out to compete with the big ones out there like suze.net and earlmiller.com.
I'll break down right away and confess, I had a blast at this site! Going through one beautiful girl after another in very high quality and great great sharp pictures. The pictures are all available in 3 resolutions: 640*480, 800*600 and 1027*768.
The pictures are simply a joy to look at here, fresh faces, happy, pretty and let me mention again, the sharpness make you eat these pictures up and ask for seconds.
Now because Viv has been photographing since the 80's you will also find some "blasts from the pasts" here, but it doesn't really matter because the digitalization of the pictures has been extremely successful here.
Everything you find on this page is probably 100% exclusive since everything is shot by Viv himself or his daughter who has also moved into this field.
There is around 250 models you can find here, and a lot of these models have done more than one set, some up to 10 and others ofcourse just the one. A photo session consists of around 40 pictures but it's a bit impossible for me to guess how many pictures you get here, but it's a lot.
To get around all these pictures everything is neatly categorized to quickly find a special set you might be looking for. Some of the categorys I can mention (because there are a lot) could be: Leg lovers, busty babes, blondes, erotic art, rookies, etc....
Because of a picture rating option on the site, you can also get a listing of the photosets by their rating, however this is not used much (I used it on ALL the sets I went through).
Though this site is mainly softcore, there is a nice amount of hardcore content. In the hardcore section there are 40 shoots and and some nice hardcore behind-the-scenes clips.
You will find 12 video sessions all together and in the spirit of the site you get a nice selection of you wish to view the clips. You can watch them as streaming video in either windows media format or real media format and here in two different levels of quality. You can also download the clips in DivX format which I did with all of them. These clips could be a bit better quality, but I watched them in full screen and that went well. Unfortunately all the sessions are cut up into 2 min. clips and there is no option to download complete sessions.
The updates are frequent, at least once a week and in average they still add more than one photo shoot per day so this site is just growing and growing with hiqh quality pictures.
I have ranted and raved about this site I can see now, but that is because I'm a fan of pictures of this kind of quality. If I were to bring up some negative about the site it would be the look of the site at times. First of all the original menu to the left did not work for me, this was luckily anticipated so there was a link to another menu. This didn't look as slick as the rest of the site, also when you browse through the models index the thumbnails are surrounded by a very bright yellow color which makes the whole look collapse (small stuff? you bet!).
Prices: (recurring)
5 day trial: $6.95
1 month: $19.95
Conclusions:
I loved this site, I got high quality all the way, I got lots of it and all the girls were beautiful. I had no trouble with the navigation and no popups or any other adds for that matter. This site is out to compete with the very established photographer sites, so for pictures lovers this is the site for you. Viv Thomas also has a video site which we have reviewed here.
Because of complaints about login problems to vivthomas we have knocked down the score of this site.
