It's rare that I come across a site that can get me worked up with only one erotic image, yet Louis de Mirabert does this the moment I click the URL and find myself faced with a seductively rich image of female buttocks dripping with the kind of eroticism I love so much.

It doesn't surprise me that this isn't the only image that turns me on. French photographer LouisdeMirabert has an eye for original sensuality, even when it comes to the design of the site. Navigational options could be expanded. Currently, you can browse through a dozen or so pages in the gallery or you can look at the model profiles and link to sets from there. However, a neatly packaged video and photo section would be great as well as a search feature for types of erotic themes.

Make no mistake, this is an erotic site. Figuring out how frequently content is updated seems a little more difficult than it should be. New pictures are added daily, yet often these are from the same set or a set that's already on the site. Also, there aren't any bonuses other than a blog, which is written in French and seemed more like a feedback page than an actual online journal. In any case, I prefer to spend more time telling you about the incredible videos and wonderful photos.

There are 60 videos. These can be downloaded in full 15-minute lengths as good Windows Media and MPEG4 files, or you can download poor MPEG clips that are roughly two-minutes long. Each film is enhanced with a music track that adds to the slow and romantic eroticism of the film work. You have to admit that this guy is talented and delivers a variety of scenarios from solo babes to playful lesbians and lovemaking couples.

There are also 40 sets of photos, each with around 100 images. I was surprised there weren't more, yet it seems Mirabert is both a photographer and a filmmaker. The pictures can be downloaded in Zip files, yet they aren't quite as large as I'd anticipated from a site emphasizing photography (850x562). Still, they're excellent, crisp shots that will drive you wild.

Whether looking at photos or viewing films, the low-key lighting reflects the passionate nature of each scene unless he is outdoors and utilizing the sun. Films are edited with a series of unobtrusive dissolves and occasionally he has a tendency to use masking techniques to enhance the voyeuristic effect of some episodes or photos.

I am reluctant to use the words hardcore or softcore since both imply something less refined than the sensual style of the content you find here. Louis de Mirabert will appeal to all people looking for creative and highly charged erotic content. Moreover, considering the artists talent, the price is more than reasonable.
