Harris Archives

Wow Ron Harris has a website! If you look through a Playboy, you'll find Ron's name mentioned once in awhile as a credited photographer. He's got excellent photography skills, and it's not just the photography itself, it's the creativity involved with the props and the imagry he captures. He is definitely one of the top erotic photographers in the world and now you can enter his world at this site.

Ron Harris really has a passion for beauty, as his site proclaims. Inside, you won't find any hardcore or even nude men, just girls in their natural form. Some even masturbating and dildo insertion. So be forewarned that this is all softcore erotica inside the Harris Archives.

Surprisingly, the first thing that caught my eye inside the site was "Photography Lessons". I would love to learn from the best and getting photography tips from Ron Harris is like getting real estate advice from Donald Trump! However these tips just turned out to be generalized statements and bascially some common sense such as: "shoot fast so the model doesn't get bored" and "hair and makeup is the most important thing besides the model". I was hoping to get some suggestions on composition and lighting. Oh well, I guess any good magician doesn't give away his tricks!

The navigation in the site is a bit confusing. Some links you click and you're inside the members pages and some you click and you're outside. Then you click on one link and you find a hidden sub-page that you can't get to from the main page. For instance, you are on the main members page. If you click into one of the monthly photo updates, you can't see the link for "Great Photographers" unless you are on that photos page. You can't see the link from the main members page. The site overall has very poor navigation and it's actually hard to figure out where you are at. There aren't even any links to photos on the left side menu, it took me a minute to realize I had to scroll down from the members page to find them. I thought there were no photos at first - just video!

Poor navigation aside, the site is excellent. Once you actually do find the pictures, they are nothing short of amazing. They are so clear and the photography is superior. All of the pictures come in three different resolutions: 800x600, 1200x800, and 2000x1333. The largest being so big and clear that you can see every hair on their bodies! These are great to save as wallpapers for your desktop.

The models in the photos are absolutely smoking hot. They have obviously been re-touched in Photoshop and have professional hair and makeup done but still you can tell beauty when you see it. And these girls are just absolutely killer! It appears that they update on average 8 times a month. So that's approximately twice a week with new exclusive pictures from the Harris Archives!

When you get to the high resolution videos, uh oh! You must pay to view them. Even if you are already a member of the site, it costs you a minimum of $9.95 to view any videos. I say "a minimum" because the videos run on virtual tokens, and in order to watch them you must have the correct amount of tokens to view. Unfortunately I'm in the belief system that I should only have to pay once to get full access, so I will not be viewing these videos.

Another great feature on this site is the links to "Great Photographers". So far he only has one - an up and coming Russian photographer named "Grigori Galitsin". However he shows off some of his work and it's completely amazing as well! So not only do you get to see Ron Harris' pictures on the site, but he adds some bonus pictures of his favorite new photographers.

Overall the site was a positive experience. Normally I rate bad for poor navigation and having to pay for upsells, but with the Harris Archives you get so many erotic picture sets dating all the way back to January 2004. It's chock full of content and very high quality softcore erotica!
