Pros:
This site lives up to its name, featuring exotic women in mostly softcore photosets and videos.
-very impressive ethnic talent pool
-29,789 photosets
-5,532 videos
-generally high quality photography
-new shoots in 3000x2000 photo resolution
-new videos in 1080P
-credit is given to the photographer or videographer in a watermark
-excellent work this year by photographers JSP and GBP
-commonly features stripping, closeups, girl on girl, fingering, and dildos
-less commonly but consistently features peeing
-rare boy on girl, blowjobs, and anal
-all original content is online back to 2001
Cons:
Some of these cons have been mentioned in previous reviews and they continue:
-search, tags, and categories still give incomplete results
-a small number of scenes are moved between this and the other ATK sites every year
-reposted archive content is not remastered
-favorite photographers Alicia S and BMB/Wanton Productions haven't produced anything this year
Bottom Line:
This is an amazing site, and one of my absolute favorites. I love to see beautiful women of all ethnicities in porn, and it is a rare site that features women as ethnically diverse as ATKExotics. ATKExotics is also the only site that consistently features high quality photos of ethnically diverse women peeing. So if you want to see many beautiful women from all around the world taking a pee in high quality photos, ATKExotics is basically your only option.
ATKExotics has produced some of my absolute favorite scenes, and they are still going strong. London Storm's peeing scene shot by Alicia S is one that I will never forget. She leans back with her legs spread, and smiles while she shoots a dark yellow stream straight up in the air, then lets it pool in her spread pussy and holds it open for some closeups. Unforgettable! Classic style for Alicia S!
One of my concerns is that there haven't been any new Alicia S scenes posted that were shot in 2015. All of her scenes posted this year were shot in previous years. BMB/Wanton is another studio that hasn't posted anything new on ATK for a while. It will be a loss if Alicia S and BMB/Wanton are done with ATK, but there are some new photographers who are really stepping up their game. JSP and GBP have produced all my favorite scenes in 2015, and I hope they keep going strong with the peeing scenes. Marco P made some incredible peeing scenes in 2014, and he is still producing new scenes, so I am eagerly awaiting his first pee scene of the year. I would also love to see more pee scenes from Pout Productions and Amy.
While not clearly a pro or a con, it is often noted in reviews that the scenes tend to follow a recognizable ATK format. It involves a solo model stripping down in a casual setting with various poses and closeups of the tits and pussy. I personally like this format, because I enjoy closeups, and the format ensures that closeups get taken. I also understand why others find it repetitive. There is plenty of variety if you look for it though, primarily in the types of acts featured in the scenes. There is also variation in the skill of photographers if you really look for it. There is not much variation in the style of photography though, for example there aren't any glam or flashy photos, and the goal seems to be realism.
One of the most interesting aspects of ATK is the acknowledgement of individual photographers. They all produce many sets in the classic ATK style, but then there are other sets where you can see the individual style of the photographer. I'm really glad they do this, because I can recognize that out of the dozens of photographers contributing to the site, my favorites come from a small handful. It would be great if the photographers were featured even more prominently on the site. For example, I think many members would like it if each active photographer had a page with some background info and also a section for comments and requests. Without this feature, I might make some posts asking for more peeing shoots for example, but how would that be acted upon? If there were the ability to post requests to individual photographers, I could limit that type of request to the 5 or so photographers who have produced peeing shoots over the past couple of years, and maybe get a dialogue going with some influence on the shoots themselves.
One downside that was mentioned in previous reviews is the unreliable search, tag, and category functions. If I relied solely on these functions to find their peeing content, for example, I would miss about half of it. The only way to find every shoot that suits your tastes is still to review them all, one by one, start to finish. I can only take so many points for this though, because it is much better to have the best content with a poor search function that it is to have poor content that is searchable with accuracy.
They also occasionally repost older content or content from other ATK sites as updates. I am a fan of this when it is content that was previously offline, but what is the point of just bumping up older shoots in the list of updates? If production is slow for any given week and this has to be done, it would be great if the older shoots were at least remastered.
All in all, I am extremely satisfied with ATK Exotics. They are the only site that I would give a 100% for their talent pool of models. I am wondering what the situation is with Alicia S and BMB/Wanton Photography - are they really done? I would also love to see more peeing scenes from JSP, GBP, and Marco P. This is a site that I will keep coming back too!

Pros:
Huge collection.
Many reasonably attractive girls
Network includes multiple sites, depending on what you signed up for.
Many models have different types of sets listed (masturbation, foot fetish, lingerie, etc.)
There are early sets of a few popular models here.
Site is multi-lingual
File download speed seems pretty good.
What you see in the previews is representative of what you get.
Every set is exclusive to ATK
Cons:
Site is often slow
Site often crashes (lots of 504 server-database errors)
Pages time-out so you can't go back or refresh
Lots of cross selling
Can't tell how many images there are.
Can't tell how many videos there are.
Navigation is a bit more challenging than it needs to be.
Many sets are nearly identical.
Some sets appear to have been recycled (Sets in only small resolution from 2011?)
Since every set is exclusive to ATK, chances are good you will see it elsewhere on an ATK site.
Bottom Line:
I'm having a hard time finding a lot to like about this website. Perhaps the best way to describe it is middle of the road. The models are your basic cross section of college-age Kmart or maybe Target shoppers. Some are attractive, many are not. None are truly stunning and almost none are truly hideous. This is a side effect of the amateur-type site status, I guess. There is a wide variety of body types from super skinny to...um...super plump, so if you like bigger girls, this might be a good site for you. These girls are all natural, ranging from nothing up top, to some giant melons, but breast size is proportionate to overall body type (i.e. fat is distributed evenly). There are no really fit or smoking hot bodies here, but a lot of nice 18-24 year-olds. The grace/awkward ratio is about even. Overall, there is a huge collection.
Navigation Is difficult. It is single threaded, and if you try to open multiple windows, the servers either throttle access or time-out...in other words getting through the images quickly is simply not possible. You can set how many thumbnails you want to see but, again, everything is single threaded so you have to wait to open a picture and then wait to return to the gallery.
The photography on this site is about average. The images are clear and consistent, but the lighting in the mostly indoor sets is not well developed or particularly flattering. You can tell that many of the sets with a model were shot on the same day in a different corner of a room or a different room in an apartment or hotel room.
The sets are a very standard formula. Girl starts out standing, clothes on, peekaboo, strip (often bottom first for some reason), show ass, spread, gaping spread, then depending on the type of set, on to other things like toys, masturbation, foot fetish, watersports, etc. "Artistic" is really just a normal set that they converted to black and white. Really dumb. This image shooting sequence makes many of the sets monotonous, even boring. In general, the girls do not look like they are having a very good time. It is all pretty much just straight show-me-the-money stuff, not very glamorous. Lots of gaping close-ups if you are into that. A handful of sets are girl/girl or guy/girl scenes but the vast majority are just solo.
Images come in three sizes, 682x1024 (who uses this?), 1080x1600 and 2000x3000.
Make-up is generally very good. No goofy eastern European eye shadow that I can find. I also noticed that the girls are generally very clean and well groomed. Mostly no pimples (anywhere), slap marks, bruises, razor burn, bad tattoos, etc. I don't think there is any or much photo-shopping...
The ranking of the models is a little odd. On a 1-5 scale (5 highest), there are a lot of unknown young models at the top of this list with only a few votes. Shyla Jennings is a 28th, Tiffany Thomspon is 15th. Early Zoey Kush is 94th. Early Jessie Rogers, complete with original Brazilian tan lines, is 62nd. Riley Marks is 85th. These model scores are not the sum of the scores of the sets, but a separate score for the models themselves. The reason I mention this is because it is not really possible to find the "best" girls or sets using the ranking system. You might find a model you like down in the 100-200 range. Oh, there are 657 ranked models. Surprisingly, most at the bottom are not bad looking, just victims of a bad photographer. Just reinforces my point about how useless the ranking system is. Might be more about the images than the girls.
There are quite a few videos of the models. Some masturbation videos are quite good, but many are just videos of the photo sets. Even a few guy/girl videos are just the photo sets, which is immensely disappointing. There are also a handful of behind the scenes videos...a big NOPE on those. Some of these girls you simply do NOT want to see before they put on make-up. Finding a video with the right combination of attractive girl and decent videography is very, very rare, but there are a few. Forget about anything hardcore, though. There are a couple, but it is extremely rare.
Perhaps the thing that taints my opinion of this site the most is the navigation speed and server response. When you try to open multiple windows, even to view images, the site times out. Oddly, download speed seems OK, though.
Bottom line? Well...if you are into amateur-ish solo photography, there is a huge collection here. Take a look at the previews and determine if this is the type of thing you like.

Pros:
Huge archive of natural women.
Huge variety of women in different shapes, sizes and colors.
Cons:
Some of the models don't wash before sets.
Some sets are repetitive.
Bottom Line:
Definitely the best hirsute/hairy website out there. I wish some of the models took a shower before sets. I like them natural, but seeing some things is a big too natural, if you know what I mean.
Current Member for over 6 months (at the time of review).
Pros:
-the site claims over 1,500 models, 3 million photos and 5,500 videos and it is likely true
-8 photo and 3 video updates daily
-recent (after 2011) photos in 3 formats: standard (682 x 1024), Medium (1064 x 1600) and High (2000 x 3000)
-recent videos (after 2011?) in multiple download formats: Flash, WMV, HD MP4, SD MP4, and Mobile
-all natural-breasted models
-hairy models ranging from pubic hair only to hair grown out everywhere
-a range of photographers with different styles
-both soft and hard core content, but mostly soft core
-tour is very good in representing the content within the site
-custom downloads of photo sets available
-few toys (good to me)
Cons:
-the quality of photography varies (some use too little or too much light, an out of focus shot in a set, etc.)
-most models are white, amateur girls (see bottom line)
-sets are repetitive
-some unattractive models (to each their own)
-some photographers talk during the videos (not just during the interviews)
Bottom Line:
A site I keep coming back to time and again for quality hairy porn. The stable of photographers with their different styles and models (Argentinian, British, Russian, and American are common) means there is generally something for every type of fan of hairy women. The exception is ethnic women. They have an ethnic section, with at least one set a day, but compared to the other 7 photo updates a day, it seems slim. Models run the gamut from "WOW!" to "Woof" but that is a personal preference for each porn user.
The delivery of content is first rate. There are multiple formats, and with custom downloads, I have no complaints there. I can't say if it supports Download Management software as I don't use it, but downloads were quick for me. Sorry folks.
Some photographers are repetitive in their sets. LIL uses the same white and black background that drives me up a wall over and over again. Sean R is a fan favorite on the site and a major contributing photographer who specializes in gynocological spread shots. But there is a photographer for most tastes among those whose work appears on the site.
Like all ATK sites, ATK Natural & Hairy is focused on teen and amateur girls in largely indoor solo shoots. Some lesbian and some hardcore B/G shoots are on the site, But mostly it is girls stripping naked and masturbating with or, more commonly, without, a toy.
In all it is a good site for anyone looking for cute, hairy models with minimal toy usage, and lots of them.

Pros:
-Many attractive models
-Decent sized site overall
-Navigation is good
-Good variety of softcore, lesbian, hardcore
-Camerawork is generally good
-Zips of photosets, newer ones in 3 quality levels
-Newer videos are of respectable quality, typically 4 options available (SD wmv, HD mp4, SD mp4, and portable), I generally downloaded SD mp4
-No DRM, download managers work, respectable biller
-Most girls are natural
-Frequent updates, generally a photo and video set every day
Cons:
-Sort of expensive
-No network access, no bonus sites
-Older videos and photos are substandard quality and older movies are often split in parts
-Not a lot of diversity in model body type or ethnicity
-HD scenes seem larger file-size wise than they have to be
-A fair amount (maybe 1/5 or so) of the video material is "behind the scenes" type of stuff, I don't mind it, but could be a negative for some
-Some material is not exclusive
Bottom Line:
Generally I think this site is pretty good, but not great. I sort of don't get the whole setup of all the ATK sites, what makes this one premium, is this site exclusively the hot girls? In general, I guess this is the case compared to some of their other sites as the hot/wtf ratio seems to be a good bit higher.
I liked the material here for the most part, but for some reason felt a bit disappointed here. Can't really put my finger on why. Most sites I join, I spend a fair amount more time poking around and checking things out, but I got tired of this one pretty fast for some reason. That isn't to say that they don't have some good material here, they certainly do, I just wasn't super-excited by it I guess.
As for the site itself, the navigation is pretty good: model index, scene ratings, scene tags, it is pretty easy to get around. The girls are generally of the thinner more natural body types, and they have both American and Euro stars.
Overall, I think I would recommend joining this site to those that never had before, but I don't know that I would recommend it as a repeat join even given the update schedule. They seem to do most things very well, and the models are generally quite attractive, so it is certainly worth a look.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
1) Hair is paramount. If'un you like hair on broads, then here you won't be disappointed.
2) Site boast of having millions of pictures. Well, bully for them. I'd have to say that might be a bit of a stretch.
3) Claims to be 12 times the size of any other hairy site. Does it also mean 12 times the cost?
4) zip files for downloads. Small watermarks on pics, larger on videos. No DRM.
5) Promotion touts of having 1577 models.
Well, I guess if they say so .....
6) 5,549 videos. Could be, but the 30 days I was there they musta been in hiding.
7) Updates appear to roll in as promoted.
8) HD on more recent shoots.
9) Some very pretty gals are in the lineup, European, Asian, Latina and American; predictably, a lotta plain-Jane's are there, too. Then there are those who're are just plain ugly.
10) You have solo, soft core, toy, boy/girl hardcore, and lesbian.
.
Cons:
1) Sometimes I'd corralled a beauty only to suddenly see her wander off somewhere.
2) Poor selection of medias, having WMV pitted against two other unknowns.
3) Streaming went smoothly, however, Buffering was unceasingly long and tedious.
4) From my viewpoint, I thought the video-shoots and directing sorely lacked the quality subscribers deserved.
5)Same-'olé-same-'olé .....what with too many and long closeups, and particularly ones that dwell on the genitalia. I can only assume The guy shooting just falls asleep at his camera. The man must belong to a damed good union.
6) Small watermarks on pics, bigger ones but none obtrusive on videos
7) Maybe it's my lack of electronic wizardry, but I simply couldn't find the combination to opening pics on a full screen.
Bottom Line:
Prepare to stare at a lot of hair.
Hair here, hair there, hair everywhere.
Nary model dare to be hair-bare, and that's fair
(jus' thought I'd throw that in)
I went for this $21 deal because I strongly favor seeing natural hair where it's supposed to be on women. It's sexier, more erotic, and adds that important element of realism to the scenes.
This site does a very good job of giving us that, but sadly, eroticism falls woefully short. For one thing, the girls move around too much. No sooner than I get into a clip than the model jumps up and leaps onto something else. Another erotic spoiler is the over-use of smiles ....I know readers don't share or agree to that, but when a gal is in the throes of sexual release, smiles ought to be minimal.! They're necessary I know, but porn isn't Comedy Central and I just don't find them compatible with serious porn.
Cameramen and directors here tend to follow the same old trend that shooting genital closeups are gold. When, for crying out loud, will these numb-nuts wise up and give us a break, already?..... Thanks to vaginal over-exposure I think I now know more about the female pussies than my x-wife's gynecologist.
In my judgment, I'd recommend this site for all who wants to see hair. Otherwise, it's just plain-old generic porn.
Admittedly, I got a bang-for-my-buck for what I paid, but I don't think I'd opt for thirty.

Pros:
-2500 models (no silicone), 24750 photo sets, 2,690,000 photos, 7835 videos. -80% exclusive (see bottom line).
-Many attractive models and lots of total stunners (but I do not like more than 10% of the models here or anywhere else).
-10 softcore photo sets per model per photographer per shoot plus some hardcore.
-Many repeat visits from models.
-Photosets in three resolutions (Not all on older sets): 1024, 1500-1600, 3000 with full and custom zips.
-Updates: 5x12 photosets (80-200pics each) and 2x14 videos (10 to 20 min ave 15min each) videos per week. i.e. 60 photo sets and 28 videos per week,
-Videos in several formats, inc "HD mp4" (1280x720 @ 6Mbps. 1920x1080 starting to appear) and streaming.
-Good model directory and search facility.
-Opt-in for newsletter and promos.
-Customisable for viewing sizes etc.
-Works with Firefox and DownThemAll and FDM (see Reply #1).
-Bills via CCBill - no regional pricing
Cons:
-Links time out after a few hours.
-Some technically flawed colour (but most is good).
-Size not indicated on video download links. So, if you go for "HD mp4", you do not know if it is 720p or 1080p until you have downloaded it.
-Pages can be very slow to load, especially the thumbnail pages, but zip download speeds are good. It is best to choose 20 thumbs per page rather than "all".
-Although download managers are allowed and work fine (tested with FDM), see Reply #1 for some cautions.
- No "mature" models (but site does not claim to have them)
-"Themes" such as "Lingerie" or "Uniforms" are incidental, not central.
-Some non exclusive content for some photographers such as Fred or Defrancesco.
Bottom Line:
ATK Galleria (ATKG) has been my "gold standard" for about 12 years and it still is. There are a lot of statistics in the pros and cons, above, so it might be more useful if I explain here why I like Galleria so much.
I collect photos and I see it as primarily a photo site, despite its huge number of videos. Nubiles is stronger on video quality. If you prefer softcore teen video, with masturbation or toys, and are happy with 4 vids per model, Nubiles is the place. You might come to ATKG to add to those.
As far as photos go, ATKG operates in the same general genre as KarupsPC, KarupsHA and Nubiles but it has generally better quality and a very much larger quantity: four times as many images as Nubiles, twice as many as MetArt. It seems reasonable that signup gives you access just to ATKG and not to the ATK Network.
One thing I really love is the many repeat shootings for a lot of its models. You get 10 softcore photosets whenever a photographer shoots the model. If she is shot again, and she often is, you get another 10 photo sets. Those may be from the same photographer a year later or from a different one. Hardcore sets, if any, are on top of that count. Riley Reid, for example, has 43 photo sets and 9 videos here. That is 13 hardcore photo sets plus two separate shoots of 10 softcore sets from one photographer and a 10 set shoot from a second. Her videos span the same two photographers and include toys, hardcore, lesbian, behind the scenes and a camshow recording.
All photo sets for each model go up between one day and a week apart. Videos are less predictable and not all models do them.
Of the nearly 25000 photo sets, photographer Fred's 1600 sets and Denys Defrancesco's 1000 sets are largely not exclusive. But the rest are, as far as I can tell. So I guess 80% exclusive overall.
ATKG is nothing like MetArt, Femjoy or any of the artsy sites. Shoots are amateur in style, professional quality but not glossy. Girls are committed and enthusiastic and engage with the viewer. Some toy use but most sets do not involve toys. Almost all start clothed, if sometimes scantily, and end full nude but sometimes get there after 20 images of a 150 image set. The journey is less important than the destination at ATKG but you do get some tease in most shoots and explicit shots with direct eye contact, provocative facial expressions, minimal looking down or away and plenty of finger spreading pussy.
There are "themes" such as Uniforms, Lingerie, Upskirts and Panties, Babes, Amateurs, Coeds, Masturbation, Toys, Foot fetish, Nudism, Lesbian, Watersports, Action. But some of those are pretty loosely defined. I often cannot even tell what the softcore theme was when I look at the downloaded set.
Take lingerie. The girl may be wearing some under some everyday clothes or she may start in it. She strips via a short tease but without the emphasis on the sensuality of the lingerie that you would get on a fetish site.
ATK's tour gives away a massive amount of actual content. Click the "visit site" link from this PU page, go to the bottom right of the page you arrive at and click the ATKingdom thumbnail. It takes you to their free site on which you will find about 80 full size (3000x2000) images from Galleria, 80 from ATK Hairy and some from Premium, all from their most recent sets and changed every week. There are no sample videos there, suggesting a bias towards photos. At the top of the page from "visit site", you have the whole model directory, which shows how many photo sets and videos every model has.
ATKG shows the work of 97 photographers from around the world. Its women are shaved, aged between 18 and 45, but most are young. There are only 15 models aged over 30. 1300 aged 18-20, 1030 21-23. Some models have tattoos or piercings but there is no silicone here. Most are Caucasian girl-next-door types (only 5 black and 11 Asian) and there is a separate site for ethnics - ATK Exotics - with a separate subscription. Some of the Galleria models also appear on the other ATK sites but without duplication of actual photo sets or videos. e.g. she might be shaved here but have hairy sets on ATK Hairy. Note that, if a model is on ATK Petites, membership there gives you her Galleria content too. But not vice versa.
I highly recommend ATKG as a large and high quality source of explicit softcore photo sets, in overtly sexual and amateur (but not amateurish) style. It will specially appeal to anyone who wants everything they can find of a loved model. I believe 96 is valid for what the tour area makes clear you will find.
But if your main thing is softcore video, score 86. There is bg and gg but it does not come over as a hardcore site. If you prefer those, score 80. And there is none with a story line here. It is plain sex. As I am not interested in bg, gg or video, it is hard for me to evaluate them. If you want fetish themes, score 76.

Pros:
A large selection of attractive, exotic models.
Nice and crisp photography.
Fair to good HD videos (depending on photographer).
Huge daily updates (5 picture sets Monday-Friday, 1 retro picture set on Saturday, 10 movies on Sundays)
Excellent download speeds for me.
Very attractive home page.
Cons:
Be warned, I decided to be very subjective, most ATK Exotics subscribers may vehemently disagree:
There is a deadly sameness to most picture sets even though the skin color varies. See bottom line.
I would prefer to have video updates on a daily basis rather than having to wait one week for the next update. I think a change there would be very important to those of us whose taste changed from collecting pictures to videos.
Saturday's update is dedicated to picture sets from their archives. Last week they were all dated 2005. This might be a plus for some and would be for me if they were in today's high resolution.
I still don't understand this “volume” business after many subscriptions to ATK's sites.
An email sent to support over five days ago never brought an acknowledgment.
Bottom Line:
I really thought I was done with mixed picture/video sites, especially those whose emphasis is heavily on pictures, but a very attractive email offer showed up and I couldn't resist, figuring that a site with such a vast amount of material would have some sets that would re-ignite my interest in pictures.
In vain!
There are some sets where the model wears a pretty nightie or other lingerie (mostly cotton panties) but those sets are exceedingly rare and when you do run across them chances are the model divests herself of same nightie or lingerie within the first ten pictures.
What this site amounts to is a heap of nice, fresh, good looking young ladies of all ethnic stripes wearing similar three items consisting of an abbreviated top, bottom (jeans or cut-offs) and panties or bras alternating, seldom does one see both together on one model.
Okay, you can add a pair of shoes or sneakers and make it four. Five with sox! But it all comes off on page one, page two at the latest!
There is no teasing, there is not enough clothing to make the set a good strip sequence, it is mostly simply a casual taking off of the few aforementioned items, and then on to a drawn out series of pictures showing the nude model from all angles. One could remove two thirds of these pictures and still have a complete set.
There is also a great misunderstanding on ATK's part of what “upskirt” really means, as only one example of inaccurate tagging. To most of us it has always meant a shot taken from floor level of the pantied (or naked) crotch above, but here it means everyone who spreads their legs with panties on. They might even start out in Jeans, but the tag says “upskirt.”
In ATK's defense, it is not because of any of their sites (and I've subscribed to most) that I quit collecting pictures, nor do I mean to imply that they are worse than most, since other picture sites are using identical dress and identical ways of shooting a model.
Not a single one of them seems to think that lingerie might be important to anyone nowadays and they might very well be right judging by all the sets designated “hot,” but this review is written for those like me who like “erotic” sets and might be disappointed because they don't find them.
To those who do like young and pretty models who can't be bothered with the inconvenience of putting on more than the bare essentials, this site is recommended!
It is also recommended for the technical quality of its pictures and videos alike, as well as for their generous daily updates.
It is a good site but not for anyone over thirty who likes a bit of spice (meaning erotic lingerie) along with their pretty women.
I left out the technical details because they are mentioned in other reviews and also because, for once, I wanted to drop objectivity in order to voice a purely personal, subjective beef when it comes to picture sites and the current state of erotic photography.
I did keep the score itself high because if would be unfair to make the site suffer because of my personal prejudices.

Pros:
-550 models (no silicone), 6800 photo sets, 780,000 photos, 3050 videos. -100% exclusive.
-Mostly attractive models though not many total stunners (but there are some of those too).
-10 softcore photo sets per model per photographer per shoot plus some hardcore (but many exceptions to the standard pattern).
-Photosets in three resolutions: 1024, 1500-1600, 3000. (Not all on older sets).
-Updates: 1 to 2 photosets (80-200pics each) daily and 10 to 20 (ave 15min each) videos per month.
-Full and custom zips for all sets and sizes.
-Videos several formats, inc "HD mp4" (1280x720 @ 6Mbps ) and streaming.
-Good model directory and search facility.
-Opt-in for newsletter and promos.
-Set preferences for viewing sizes etc.
-Works well with Firefox and DownThemAll.
-Webmaster responds very fast to emails.
-Bills via CCBill - no regional pricing.
Cons:
-Does not play well with download managers except DownThemAll.
-Links time out after a few hours (Karups' last for membership duration).
-Some photographers produce technically flawed colour (but most are good).
-Videos at 1280x720 6mbps possibly not high enough for video-philes but I am no judge of video.
-Lower proportion of extremely attractive models than ATK Galleria or Nubiles.
-Pages can be very slow to load, but zip download speeds are good.
Bottom Line:
ATK Premium (ATKP) is the smallest of the ATK sites, though still not a small site by general standards. For example, it has half the number of models and videos as Nubiles, but 60% more photos.
It is the ATK site that I find most difficult to categorise. I join it once or twice per year but I find it less exciting than the other ATK sites.
Its women are shaved, aged between 18 and 29, most are Caucasian girl-next-door types but there are some ethnic models (9 Black, 9 Asian, 20 Hispanic) and some catwalk type models. Though most models do not have tattoos and piercings, they are not excluded from ATKP. Many of the women also appear on ATK Galleria (ATKG) but there is no duplication of photos or videos. Some models only appear on ATKP and not on the other ATK sites and there is usually no obvious reason why ATK have chosen to put them on ATKP. When a model is on ATKP and ATKG, her content on ATKG is usually hotter but not always. Rather occasionally, a model's best content is on ATKP.
ATKP represents the work of 44 photographers from around the world, compared to ATKG's 97. Many photographers appear on both sites but some of ATKP's photographers do not appear on ATKG. For example, PJA Media shoots for Premium but not Galleria and his content is of such high quality that it even gets praised by other ATK photographers in the site comments. Sometimes a model who is on both ATKG and ATKP will have one photographer's work on ATKG and another's on ATKP but there is no pattern.
Photosets on ATKP are largely in a similar style to ATKG though usually ATKP content is less raunchy, less committed than ATKG, with some notable exceptions. Bree Daniels has superb content on ATKP, for example. If you like her, her content would justify a membership all by itself. ATKP does have some "artistic photos", which ATKG does not. "Artistic" means black and white, or abstract type constructions with models draped in silk or flowers. There is not much of it, far less than on METART, but there is enough to be noticeable whereas ATKG has none.
Older photo sets might be only in 1024 and 1600 or only 1024. There is more outdoor content on ATKP than on the other ATK sites. Photos are usually well lit. Most are properly colour balanced but there are a lot of exceptions and some photographers consistently produce poor colour. There is perhaps a slightly greater proportion of technically poorer content on Premium than on Galleria. Most if not all sets start fully clothed and many include explicit open leg shots, usually but not always less extreme than ATKG and definitely less extreme than ATKH.
ATKP has more video per model than the other ATK sites. It averages just over five videos per model compared to ATKG's just under three. But, as with ATKG and ATKH, some ATKP models have no videos and some have ten. Video is similar size and bitrate to ATKG (see Pros).
ATKP has a similar distribution between toys, non-toys, solo, bg, gg, to the other ATK sites, with the majority being solo without toys..
A model's photo sets are added about a week apart but videos are less predictable and not all models do them.
I cautiously recommend this site to lovers of women with no silicone, in good quality, solo photo-sets. Video enthusiasts should find plenty of content too. It contains bg and gg but it does not come over as a hardcore site. If you are a hardcore hound, you will probably not enjoy it. As I am not interested in bg, gg or video, it is hard for me to evaluate the quality of that content.
"Cautiously recommend" because I feel this site has a much less strong identity than the other ATK sites. That has made the review very difficult for me to write. Galleria and Hairy have a "wow factor" that Premium has not. It is easier to say what ATKP is not than to characterise what it is. It does not have the young teen focus or toy bias of Nubiles. It does not have the raunchiness and freshness of ATK Galleria or the explicitness of ATK Hairy. It is not an art site like MetArt or Femjoy.
But it has enough excellent content to justify joining at least once and it is small enough that the disappointing content is easy to avoid. The tour at http://www.atkpremium.com/tour/page/1 gives a very good guide to what you will find. http://free.atkpremium.com/main.php includes many full resolution sample photos and is updated weekly. If you have never joined any ATK site before, I would not recommend starting with ATKP but neither would I advise you not to. I recommend it to anyone who collects models rather than niches and who likes some of the models here.
I have joined the site several times over many years. "member < 1 month" applies just to this current repeat.
Was a member approx. 4 months prior to this review.
Pros:
-- Extremely large amount of photo content.
-- High-quality photos/videos.
-- Outstanding site layout and user interface.
-- Custom features--user-defined zip files, preferences, settings etc.
-- Daily, high-quality updates.
Cons:
-- Could use a little more diversity in ethnicity(latin, afro, etc.)
Bottom Line:
I would classify this site as tastefull and traditional erotic nude photography. There are hardcore photo and video sets but the main emphasis is on erotic/nudes and exposing the model's natural beauty. No extreme stuff here and everything is in good taste.
Most of the models are of the young, early twenty-something variety. Although the majority fit a cerain profile--thin, well-toned etc, you can find a large diversity of model types spread around the very large number of photosets, once you discover the search feature. This is one of those sites that could keep your interest for quite a long time. There is no way you could manage to get through all of the content in a one-month period.
The only thing lacking is a more diverse representation of ethnicities. If it wasn't for this, I would not hesitate to give the site a perfect score.
The site layout and design is about as good as it gets. Serach utilities, custom zip downloads, and a number of other features are available. Everyting seems to be where it should be and you won't get lost in the large amount of content available.
The videos are of high quality and available in HD, but the emphasis is on photography. The quality of the photography ranges from semi-pro to professional, with most belonging to the latter category. The technical quality of the photos themselves ranges from eye-popping, HD quality to so-so, depending on the skill and experience-level of the photographer. There were times I was thinking, 'I would love to see this or that photographer shoot this model.' It is hard to classify this as a negative, however. It is unrealistic to expect every photoset and photographer to meet one's own personal demands regarding tastes and likes.
The number of photographers is also pretty diverse and you get a good range of styles. You can use the search function to display all sets from the photgraphers you like. In fact, there is so much content that, after a while, you can pick out the photographer just based on poses, settings, lighting, etc.. Most of the photographers seem to be into their work and are not just running around with a camera, trying to churn and burn content.
You will come across a few poorly-done photosets(blown-out images, overexposed, poor lighting, etc). But these are usually older sets and are the rare exception, rather than the norm.
The content is mostly unique. Although you will find a number of professional models here that you have seen elsewhere, the majority will likely be completely new to you.
The only people that probably would not like this site are those into extremes, either in model types or images. There is hardcore action, but no action like atm or other in-your-face kind of stuff.

Pros:
-1530 silicone-free, hairy pussy models, 19300 photo sets, 4900 videos.
-Committed, engaged, involved, enthusiastic, confident, joyful models.
-10 softcore photo sets per model per photographer per shoot. 100% exclusive.
-Photosets in three resolutions: 1024, 1500-1600, 3000. (Not all on older sets).
-Updates: 8 photosets (80-250pics each) and 3 (ave 15min each) videos daily.
-Model's photosets uploaded just a week apart.
-Full and custom zips for all sets and sizes.
-Videos several formats, inc "HD mp4" (1280x720 @ 6Mbps ) and streaming.
-Good model directory and search facility.
-Opt-in for newsletter and promos.
-Set preferences for viewing sizes etc.
-Works well with Firefox and DownThemAll. Tested OK with FDM and Getright.
-Download links stay current for several hours.
-Webmaster responds very fast to emails.
Cons:
-Links time out after a few hours (Karups' last for membership duration).
-Some photographers produce technically flawed colour (but most are good).
-Videos at 1280x720 6mbps possibly not high enough for video-philes but I am no judge of video.
-Very old photosets (say older than 6 years) moved off to ATK Archives (separate site); I wish they would leave it all here as some of it was excellent, judging by content I downloaded 5 to 10 years ago and still retain.
-Lower proportion of attractive models than ATK Galleria (but some OMG hotties).
-Pages can be very slow to load, but zip download speeds are good.
-Some old videos may count multiparts towards the 4900. If 3000 complete videos would not be enough, do not join! And maybe only half of those are as high as 1280x720. Again, if you need more than 1500 of them, stay clear. Figures are indicative. I have not downloaded 4900 videos to check the sizes.
Bottom Line:
ATK Hairy (ATKH) is the largest and most complete site in the niche of women with natural breasts and hairy pussies. But there is little competition in this niche. We Are Hairy (WAH) is the only serious contender, though some other sites include some hairy models.
ATKH's women cover a large age range from 18 to 50s. Most are Caucasian girl-next-door types in the 18-35 range. They have hairy pussies and natural tits. There is no silicone here at all. ATKH does not claim that all, most or even any of its models have hairy legs, hairy armpits or any other body hair, though some have. The site does not appear to be much, if at all, influenced by the very vociferous group of members on the ATKH forums who demand hair everywhere. Bear in mind that modern girls in real life increasingly have tattoos or piercings. You see this in shops and offices everywhere. Do not expect ATKH to exclude them. Even MET has them. Sites do not beget their models nor control them.
Amongst the many tens of sites I have ever joined, including WAH, Nubiles, DDF, MET, Diesel and others, I have never found one where I like more than 10% of the models. ATKH is no exception; I leave 95% of their content behind.
I greatly enjoy the style of the photography at ATKH. Much of that is due to the content from one photographer, Sean R. He has 282 models on ATKH. You either love or hate his work. I absolutely love it. It has a raunchiness that no other photographer on any site, hairy or not, has ever achieved, in my opinion. His girls have the filthiest facial expressions imaginable and they clearly have huge fun on his shoots. His shoots are very repetitive within each set but many viewers do not realise that he is almost unique in varying his plane of focus. You may get 15 consecutive shots that look very similar but they will have different focus. And many have enough DOF to have all in focus. He uses a lot of makeup, which I like, and it is very tarty and slutty, as are the costumes his girls wear and I love all that. Sean R does not photograph with toys and many of his models do not do video. Some use a toy in video.
I also love the work of Riley Williams who has 87 models represented here. His style is classy, with much less makeup than Sean R but sharp, beautifully lit, perfectly colour balanced and capturing the whole personality of his models, who clearly enjoy working with him. BMB is another photographer producing quality results with 88 models here.
I cannot list all of ATKH's over 100 photographers, shooting models from US, UK, Europe, Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere. Most, if not all, produce work which is hotter, more raunchy, in a softcore photo niche, than anything I have seen elsewhere. Models here are involved, committed, engaged, passionate, joyful and have a lot of fun. The much smaller WAH tends to have a softer style, with a greater proportion of photo sets involving little or no makeup. But ATKH includes plenty of sets in that style too.
In ATKH's 10 softcore photo sets per model per photographer per shoot, there will be usually no more than two or three with toys. If there is any bg hardcore, it is in addition to the 10 softcore sets. But it is not really a hardcore site. There are 340 hardcore videos, 560 hardcore photosets and even less gg. This could be more than some dedicated hardcore sites though. As I am not interested in bg, gg or video, it is hard for me to evaluate the quality of that content.
A model's photo sets are added about a week apart but videos are less predictable and not all models do them.
Older sets might be only in 1024 and 1600 or only 1024. But I find the photos tend to have more detail and clarity than many of the 5000 pixel offerings from sites such as MET. The photosets here are in a completely different style. They are shot in normal rooms with normal furniture. There is some outdoor stuff but (mercifully!) not much. Photos are usually well lit. Most are properly colour balanced but there are a lot of exceptions and some photographers consistently produce poor colour that does not match the technical perfection which Riley Williams and Sean R deliver on each and every photo shoot. ATKH photos are not works of art and are not meant to be. They are overtly sexual and mainly highly pornographic within the context of softcore.
Most if not all sets start fully clothed and include extremely explicit open leg shots with pussy spreads and great detail.
I thoroughly recommend this site to lovers of natural girl-next-door women, with hairy pussies and no silicone, in good quality, very explicit softcore solo photo-sets in domestic, non-glam and mainly indoor locations. If your primary interest is video, take 5 points off my score. If it is hardcore, deduct a further 10 points. ATKH has a harder, edgier softcore style than WeAreHairy but I recommend joining both. I have been re-joining ATKH regularly for 10 years. "member < 1 month" applies just to current join.

Pros:
- Another site in the ATK line of sites, do not take the score as the deadset score. There will be an add +5 or -5 at the end of bottom line.
- As with the other ATK sites there is a lot of content, newer videos are HD, pictures are still the big draw here and are zipped, will explain sizes in BL.
- Really good download speeds, actually reached speeds I hadn't reached before.
- While there is a theme here, "petite" most models in the 18-24 range fit the petite group, so there are a lot of models.
- Going to go out on a limb and will further in BL when I say this site is like joining a best of ATK, since you get content from all their sites except Archives, as long as the model is petite.
- Navigation is pretty basic and easy as long as it's working.
- I couldn't tell you the update schedule since it seems to vary, but there does seem to be daily multiple updates, will further in BL.
Cons:
- To me there are two big cons with this site, one will be completely subjective, the other will be more based on your experience with these sites. They are:
#1 Programming nightmare, missing thumbnails by the dozen for the first 3 weeks of my membership. I will give them credit because it looks like they fixed it. There are still other problems, I've seen videos with parse link errors, no clue what that is, just know it means I can't download the video. I have videos that are corrupted and had a few zips that were corrupted too.
#2 Exclusivity. As a collector, exclusivity is one of the most important things to me. There is a high percentage of models here who have no content exclusive to this site. It does however come from one of the ATK sites. That's why this is subjective based on your experience. I joined ATK Exotics in December/January, ATK Premium in January/February, ATK Galleria in February/March and ATK Petites in March/April. I have a lot of Petites content already.
Bottom Line:
I'll jump right in where the cons left off since I ran out of characters.
Though I numbered it as #2 con, my biggest con was the amount of overlapping content here on ATK Petites. If I hadn't been to the other ATK sites, I would probably be rating this site in the 90s, but I have, estimating, 60% of the content Petites has that I would want from my memberships to the other ATK sites. This is straightforward enough by them in the videos where you will see ATK Premium watermarks on videos, ATK Galleria, ATK Exotics, etc...
It's not straightforward when I join though. The preview lets me see all the models and # of photos, # of photosets, # of videos. It doesn't tell me that I may already have 50-100% of those from their other sites. I have complained in the past about DDF doing this, so it's only fair that I stay consistent and complain here as well.
It's not to say this site is a ripoff or isn't good. As it is, I give it an 85 because there is a good amount of exclusive content here. The score would have been a little lower if the programming problems hadn't at least shown some improvement, which they did a few days after I posted the comment about the missing thumbnails.
Here is a very small example of how exclusive the content is to this site. From March 25th-March 28th, there have been this many updates.
32 photo sets
16 videos
Those are staggering numbers. That's 48 combined videos and picture sets in 4 days, or 12 per day.
8 of those sets are exclusive to this site, that's pictures and videos. So, 8 of 48 are exclusive to this site. That's roughly 16% exclusive. Having had memberships to 3 of their other sites, it means I have most of this content.
The update schedule is impossible to list because it changes daily, one day they had 12 photosets, another day they had 5 photosets and 6 videos.
Okay, enough bitching. ATK sites are fun sites. You're not going to find much if any airbrushing in their photos, you're going to see newer models and you'll also find old sets of current hardcore stars doing innocent photosets as a newcomers. I do get annoyed by the hairy sets and the even worse, "scary hairy" as they have them tagged, but overall, the girls range from cute to very pretty. It's not close to glam. Nearly all sets start in very normal clothes from jeans, shorts, skirts with some lingerie mixed in.
The newer picture sets have 3 zip sizes, largest is 2000x3000 resolution and vice versa. Petites can be a little confusing here since some of the newer sets from their other sites are not as high resolution, but most of the newer sets are the above number. They do have a custom zip feature that works when I have tried it.
This is an in-between one. The videos are very hit/miss. Most of the girl/girl videos aren't very good. The solo videos are the best ones on the site and usually these are worth a download. The boy/girl videos are borderline poor. I'm not talking about technical quality either. They are poor in the sense that you don't get a believable feeling from the scenes, it's very clinical even. I had the same feeling about Nubiles boy/girl videos too so ATK shouldn't take it too personally. I do get the feeling that a lot of these girls are not comfortable on video, just like I get on Nubiles videos, if they're not comfortable, I would rather see more photosets of them because the photos are really good.
Technical quality on the newer videos is good, at least a year, maybe two years of HD videos, but I really think if you're here for the videos, you're going to be disappointed.
This was my first time as a member on Petites or I would have known that most of the content comes from the other ATK sites. I do think the ATK sites have made big positive strides in their site design, navigation, search options and they continue to get tons of models.
My advice is if you prefer one of the niches like hairy, exotic, to try one of those if you're just starting out with these sites, but if you want a really good overview of all their niches, Petites would be a very good place to start. If you've been on their other sites in the last few months, I can't even recommend Petites because you're going to see a lot of content you have already seen.
As a new, non-biased towards genres, member, I would recommend this site as the one to join. It's like buying a greatest hits album by a band you're new to.
If you're new to the ATK sites or haven't been to them in the last year or two, add 5 to the score for a 90. If you are not new to the sites and have been on the other ATK sites recently, take 5 points off for an 80.

Pros:
Wide selection of models, videos, and pics due to a long standing in the community. They are one of the oldest working porn sites in general, but especially for niche porn. This is hirsute, hairy girls, and you can search for various factors, very general ones like "armpits" or "action." What's best is there is a little bit of everything "hairy" here. If you like solo girls, there's plenty of content. But if you like some action there is plenty of m/f and f/f content ranging from full frontal soft-core to full blown hardcore. What's more, most of the models that appear at We Are Hairy also appear here, such as Ryanne and Fawna. Video and pic quality is pretty good for the newer stuff, and you usually have a selection of about four or five video qualities (new ones often have HD options also). Pics are downloadable in a single zip file. Lately they have also been ramping up a lot more free cam shows with some pretty big ATK names, so that's been a real plus and I hope they keep that up.
Cons:
Search engine is a little dated and clunky. It gets the job done, but the way it displays results could definitely use an update. It accepts download managers usually, but only for a limited time. I find that if I wait more than a few hours it often shifts the page on me.
Bottom Line:
For niche porn this site has become one of the biggest and most well known. I have argued that it's a better deal than We Are Hairy simply because they both have many of the same models, but ATK seems to have a. a lot more content, and b. a much greater variety in that content, such as softcore vs. hardcore, solo vs. couple, etc. It's also a site that you will never fully rip, and well worth investing, and saving money in the long run, in the multiple month subscriptions. I would recommend three months easily if you are a hirsute enthusiast.

Pros:
- A re-review that I didn't think was needed until I used the new format of the site some more, one of the biggest collections of exotic women on the internet and the new format of the website makes the site work much better than before.
- Newer videos have a 1280x720 HD option, a small (.mp4) version, a standard .mp4 version and a standard .wmv version. Older videos have standard DVD resolution with .wmv and .mov files.
- New site formatting and layout is really nice. This may be hard for some to appreciate unless you were a member back in say 2007-2009. BL will expand on this.
- Newer picture sets are 3000 high end and come zipped, also has a custom zip option. Most of all the photo sets are at least 1500 long end, outside of the random very old sets.
- Search engine has improved greatly.
- Pictures, retain an amateur feel...done professionally.
- This one will also show up in cons, about 75% of the time, site is giving me 100% max download speed, very impressive.
Cons:
- The biggest con is one I don't think I had ran into on here before, but the improved search engine could be making it easier to find these by accident. I understand that exotic means "different" to some, but women with hairy armpits and hairy arms and hairy legs have a place on ATK Hairy. I will go into it more in BL.
- I am still impressed by the update schedule that I talked about in my previous comment on this site, but it may be a little different than it first appeared to me, one of the day's updates, each week, looks to be from ATK Archives and while I listed 10 videos each week in the previous comment, it then dropped to 8 the very next week, then went up to 9 this past week. It's not a big con, but I did want to note the change.
- Only other one, sometimes the site is painfully slow. I do think 80% fast, 20% slow is pretty accurate. When it's in the slow speed state, I have to download 4 files at once to reach 75% of my max download speed.
Bottom Line:
The majority of my feelings towards this new version or format of ATK Exotics are very positive. I don't remember how many updates they used to have, but it definitely seems like they are updating more than I remember and the addition of HD .mp4 files on the videos is nice though I have never looked to the ATK sites for videos, preferring their photo sets. The videos are improving too though.
I want to go into the one big con since it's purely subjective. I had noticed messmer's comments on ATK Hairy, about how some of the sets were going with too much hairy. I'm not against pubic hair and do prefer some pubic hair. I don't really care for the full bush, but if the model is hot enough, the full bush won't even completely turn me away. What's the deal with the women with more underarm hair than me? A few even have the outline of mustaches. I understand that it is natural for some women to have more body hair than others, but lets have them with their arm up in their thumbnail.
Seriously, it's a very big turn-off. I noticed one of the hairy underarm ones has her arm up in her thumbnail. That's not too bad to see since it's a small picture. I think the re-review score would have been a little higher if I hadn't started running into these extremely hairy models.
It's not a big con on the updates including a day of Archive content, but I did want to mention it as well as the movies going from 10 a week for 2-3 weeks straight then dropping to 8 then up a little to 9. Neither of these would stop me from recommending or re-joining the site since I think the site does most everything right.
Onto the good, I really can't say enough for the positive changes in the site. I don't know when these changes went into effect, but they weren't completely there the last time I was member which was in January 2011. The search engine is much better as well though they still have the tags I don't see as very useful, but the ethnicity tags seem to be working perfectly and it's a multiple tier search so you can easily search for "Latina" then specify the year "2011" and it works.
Also am very happy to see them doing more sets of black women. They did some in the past, but now, at least for this month, the black models are getting as much coverage as any of the other ethnic groups.
Glad also to see the HD videos. I also don't think ATK's sites need to go to 1920x1080. Even though I download the videos of the models I like, I prefer ATK's pictures of them and the videos are just like icing on the cake at their sites so 1280x720 is plenty good for me, they also are not the overly huge files, most of the HD ones are running in the 500 MB range.
I tried the custom zip feature out. I don't think I remember a site having this that I have been on or I may have missed it in the past. You click to create a custom zip and it lets you pick what resolution you want, though this changes based on if there is a higher resolution available. You then see the images in the set and click each one you want added to the zip. Pretty nifty feature. It reminds me of Videobox's old "make your own clip" feature.
One thing I noticed that the new format has improved. I am finding models from 2006 that I did not have in my collection that I wanted. I do think this is because of the much easier to use site and search engine, but it's just as much showing how bad the old format and search engine were too.
It's hard to believe in this day and age of porn sites refusing change, that just 3 years ago this site's navigation was terrible, they only offered photo zips in parts and more times than not, I would visit it daily for the first week then wouldn't go back until near the end of the membership. This time, I have visited daily and allowed it to recur because there have been so many models that I have missed in the past that I can now find. They deserve the praise for that. Do something with the hairy models, like keep them on ATK Hairy or even slap a "Hairy armpits" icon on them. I don't mind that others like that, but I doubt those who do and join a site like ATK Hairy would want to see quite a few perfectly shaven models either on it.
In closing, the speed of the site and speed of downloads is seemingly the best I have seen when it's going good. I hadn't seen my download speed go that high on any site, but it does have its slow time which could just be peak hours. It's a fair enough trade off since the fast time is more frequent than the slow.
On recommending it, I would recommend it over all exotic/ethnic model photo sites now and even to those who have been a member in the past because it does come off as a whole new site. They also do have a few free cam shows each month, but they're never on when I have access to the computer.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
-tons of hair, and good niches as well
-photos are well lit and professional
-generally good looking models
-tons of photos
Cons:
-a lot of ugly models
-repetition repetition repetition
-uninteresting movies
-not really HD movies
Bottom Line:
i wanted something different so i thought id give this site a try. i joined mainly for the pix, and there are a lot! i started from the oldest where the pix were under 2 mp. unfortunately it seemed they didnt increase the size til 3/4 way thru the content. there are some great treasures in there, i found a fav of mine; Wenona! however, there are a lot of ugly women in there too. also as i said above, the model repetition was annoying. i know this is normal, but it seemed too often. after a while i even was skipping the hottest models
the video section was confusing, a lot of the videos low quality, models seemed bored. there were a few with interviews that were fun tho. also the newest videos listed as HD only download as 960x540, which is disappointing
beyond all my complaints, i joined for the pix and got my $$$s worth. however this is no abby winters quality pix and vids (even tho they seem to be straying for hair)

Updated:
07-17-1105:41pm (Update History) Reason: Wanted to add more detail
Pros:
Has potential. Not much airbrushing.
Cons:
Over the top photo editing. Diminished detail due to photo editing.
Bottom Line:
My biggest gripes are with the:
1)pic's quality 2)photographers who ruins the pics (content) with way too much editing 3)whoever directs the poses, setting, lighting, etc.
Photo editing / manipulation. So often I ran across photos that were over edited, they were edited so much that I couldn't edit them to make them look better on my computer. These photos were so much that the models hair would have no detail and would blend in with black backgrounds. There would be deep dark shadows on their skin ruining details. Too much editing takes away detail. Natural photos are wonderful.
There were plenty occasions that some of the models had unnatural colors. Such as, red or orange skin. They looked more alien that natural. Those were mainly older pics, but some of the newer ones had similar features. I think that was probably due to editing.
Poses / Setting...ect
For the most part, every model has the same expression. All they do is smile, some smile really hard. Nothing wrong with smiling – but they need to mix it up. Like: frown, smile, no expression, lick tongue out. Most importantly, try to look sexy or nasty.
The same hair style, especially on the black woman. A model will have 10 different photo shoots and will have the very same hair style on every single shoot. Example: Amber . Mix it up for crying out loud. I don't care if they wear a wig – just mix it up.
Every photo shoot should have at least one good shot with great clarity of:
1)(full body nude shot with good clarity/detail) standing or lying down
2)(boob shot) from the waist up to include the cute face of the model
3) (vagina shot) model laying down on back with legs spread open, but also with her face in view without being out-of-focus. Kind of like a missionary pose.
There were some many times that I was waiting for a good shot of a model with legs spread, but I was left dissapointed because the model would have her hand covering up her vagina on 10 pics with none of her fully exposed. It's ok to tease, but show me what I want to see somewhere in there.
Quality:
The are times that you want to see a model nude laying on her back, but on ATK they would either have the vagina in focus with the face out of focus or the other way around. Very frustrating.
Sometimes there are pics put on the site and the whole picture is out of focus or with the face blurry as if the photographer or the model was moving while pic was being taken. Why would something be put on the site like that.
The lighting in much of the photos is so bright that I cannot see any detail off the boobs. This is mainly for the white woman. A good photographer can compensate for that during the shoot.
Wide screen pics. In these days computer monitors and TVs are wide screens – not square.
If a model is sitting against the wall with her legs spread, why would you clip off the legs. The full pic would fit perfectly on a wide screen tv. Legs are nice – don't take them out of the pic.
Why are there so many pics of just one body part? So many times while I'm looking for one good pic of a model that I like, I can't find one, yet there's 10 pics of her leg, foot, or of a single tit.
Other:
There are two different sign-ins for the forums and the actual atk photo site. What gives? If I want to comment on a photo, I don't want to have to log in to a different site.
There should be a link were we can ask a question directly to the photographers or at least were we can give feedback. There should be an option to comment on a photo or photo sets while viewing it without having to go to another site.
The entire site needs a new design. I have never gone to a porn site were everything seems old. The navigation is terrible. The site seems like a forgotten site where no one cares to update it.
Every single gripe that I wrote about are wide spread throughout the website – yes every single gripe!!
I just had to write something about my experience there, because I believe the site has a lot of potential, if only they would work on these issues that I wrote about. Every single gripe that I wrote about are wide spread throughout the website – yes every single gripe!!

Pros:
A huge number of "hairy" models, most of them very good looking.
Large daily updates, usually consisting of eight picture sets and two videos.
Immensely improved lay-out. Very pleasing to the eye as well as easy to navigate.
The ability to leave comments on each set, video or model has been added. It is good to be able to voice one's preferences or dislikes.
Pictures since the beginning of 2011 are available in a super large format of 3000px.
Videos are very nice and crisp at 1280x720p.
Good download speeds for me.
Cons:
Site has become more extreme, even though ATK owner would probably disagree with my assessment, but the emphasis appears to be more and more on a general fetish for hair rather than on beautiful young, un-enhanced girls who chose to keep their pubic hair. In the past SeanR, as one example, would offer up a hairy leg set now and then but now they are everywhere.
Bottom Line:
This is a site in transition because, judging by members' comments and ratings, the membership has shifted dramatically from those who just weren't keen on the shaved look to those who almost worship hair itself: hairy legs, arm hair, pit hair, anal hair etc. They interpret "natural" to mean just that, a body that has never been touched by a razor.
This transition is also confirmed by ATK owner's own remarks, who wrote in connection with some complaints about models being too shaved except for the bush: "We did approach R....e about growing out her armpit and leg hair and she told us the timing was not right for her to do that right now. So possibly later."
I have a black eye and bleeding nose from making some unwelcome noises in the comments section over this change.
The latest one was in connection with my musing as to what a girl (with extremely hairy legs) was doing wearing men's cotton briefs? She appears to be a heavy favorite of many and I was brutally slain by one member for being so audacious as to make this blasphemous remark.
I must stress that this made absolutely no difference when it came to the rating of this site because, as the ATK owner himself pointed out, tolerance is requested in connection with everyone's tastes and who am I to be the arbiter of what's erotic and what isn't.
What does make a difference to me, though, is that so many sets are extremely bland with little imagination shown by the photographer.
The average model basically wears top and skirt with a pair of panties or top and jeans with or without a pair of panties, pretty painful for someone who likes the tease factor and does not like to see a model revealing her all right from the first page.
However there is such a fierce loyalty to the models shown by the hair fetishists that even dull sets are rated highly because of the extreme hair factor.
I have changed my mind about the previous low score I gave this site because it was based on my personal preferences.
This time around I am giving it a higher score by rating it as a TRUE FETISH site that will easily please all those who have a taste for extreme hair.
So I highly recommend it to this growing group of hair lovers, especially in light of the pros. The new lay-out is really nice, clean, impressive. I also like the ability to comment even though I am still nursing my wounds.

Updated:
09-08-1109:34pm (Update History) Reason: Who knew I could become this disinterested in naked chicks? Whatever kind of help this site needs, my money definitely can't provide. Avoid for now.
Pros:
- Well organized, easy to navigate
- Massive amounts of content collected over many years
- Wide selection of females, many of which are harder to find on other porn sites
- Wide selection of photographers
- ZIP downloadable image sets
- New, customizable layout
Cons:
- Some girls may be too hairy for some
- Lately the hottie-to-bland ratio has gone downhill
Bottom Line:
O.K. I've been frequenting this site regularly since 2004 or so, soon after discovering ATK Galleria. I'd say for every 2 months spent at ATK Galleria, I spend one at Natural and Hairy, just to see what's new while letting new sets accumulate at Galleria.
This site is definitely worth joining: there are some serious hotties there, many "bookstore"-type chicks without getting into cartoon makeup territory. I recommend this site way, way, way above Suicide Girls. They're new layout is incredibe, btw.
However, as a longtime fan, I must agree with the recent reviews here - it's in a mild slump. Some of these new girls can be rather uninspiring. I don't care if she has hair - she still needs to be cute and NATURAL. I have pretty chill tastes concerning women (I don't mind tattoos, I LOVE short hair, etc), but freaky doesn't always mean better. Let me add, a lot of people here love the photographer Sean R. I like him, but I prefer BMB, Afterglow, and Atomic W. Sean R gets cuties, but shoots too many contorted crotch shots for my taste.
In summary - I always come back to this site and stock up on the new cuties that don't look like dive bar sailors. I'm usually bored by the time my subscription expires though, at which point I rejoin ATK Galleria and rejoice at the abundance of NATURAL beauty! Call me old-fashioned...
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
Since 1st January 2011 pictures in 200x3000 with stunning clarity (based on photographer) and available in 3 resolutions for viewing or download.
Video in MP4 quality, worth noting but personally I’m a stills man.
Models’ content appearing at short intervals (excellent for collectors).
ATK Lounge – this has improved greatly and the team are really listening to its members including a lot of interaction from the owner.
Huge archive and good search engine.
Cons:
Site has speed problems from time to time but this has improved.
Only a few of the contributors are producing crystal clear quality work with great angles.
No custom download options for users that require a range of images only.
No sets numbers at model level, can be hard to keep track/count.
Still more quantity than quality but where there is quality it is excellent.
Bottom Line:
I see that ATK N&H still seems to be getting bad press so I think I'll add my second review as I think things are definitely improving, certainly in 2011, and I speak as a long time member and currently on a subscription well over a year.
I still have issues with the site, however I think ATK N&H are really trying hard to improve things; the major improvement was the upgrade to the stills, from the 1st January, though it seems that you can’t please some people as users began complaining that they couldn’t see the image in their browsers, but there are now 3 image sizes for viewing/downloading – why wouldn’t you want 2000x3000!!!
As noted above only really a few photographers are contributing excellent quality clear eye-popping work, and this is personal of course but Sean Rs work is outstanding .
Long sets with some very interesting angles, and from January a raft of new models have appeared on the site shot in glorious clarity by him, the quality has ramped up substantially .
Of other note R Williams/BMB produce good work with the former trailing off from the early days when there was more of his content been posted.
Overall the site has improved a lot in 2011 and the addition of more interaction on the forum with highlights of upcoming models has really added to the anticipation.
Each to their own of course but I still feel ATK N&H is the best!
Given it 90 as I feel it's going in the right way, and the improvements this year have really helped.

Pros:
-Discounted price through TBP.
-Huge mega website. The site states over 1400 models and over 950,000 photos.
-Daily updates. The site states 4200 photos added weekly.
-The photos are zipdownloadable.
-No download limits.
-More Black models than any site I have ever seen, even including those specializing in them.
-The number of East Indian models is quite large. There are few on any site on the internet and this site is probably the biggest on the net for these women.
-Many well known models/pornstars. However most of the site appears to be amateurs who may be exclusive here.
-Listing of who the photographers are for each set. I found that I really appreciate R. Williams for example.
Cons:
-Far too many tattoos and/or piercings.
-Not high quality videos. The most recent are 850x480, 1700 kbps. Way behind the times.
-Photos are nearly all about 600x1000 and some are 1600x1000. Many, many sites have better.
-Too many sets that are washed out color, overexposed, have little contrast, or miss the erotic by having the models' hands strategically placed where I don't want them. Many cut off parts of the model's body and look unnatural and definitely not erotic. For set after set I did not download a single photo.
-The search engine is virtually useless. I have no idea how many Black models there are for example.
Bottom Line:
I was last a member here about four years ago. At that time I thought the site was very large, the videos mostly boring and of low quality and the task of downloading to be intimidating without some kind of search engine.
Mostly that is still all true. With daily updates the site has become HUGE though.
I appreciate that the site has so many ethnic models. I know of no other site that I can compare this to as far as quantity. My issue is much more with the quality.
The videos are mostly not all that. The softcore are mostly very blabby and the hardcore not terribly hot either. There are some masturbation scenes, blow jobs and some vaginal, but that is it. There is no anal for example.
The photos are mostly not my cup of tea either. There are too many where the fundamentals just are not what I expect from such a well known megasite. Some things that are not done right are photos that have the colors not adjusted properly, or have little contrast, are too dark, etc. Black models in dark photos just don't work. Neither do photos that have one after another of the model's hand covering her vagina. When did that become hot?
The search engine is useless. This was a problem four years ago and still is now. The various ethnicities make searches a matter of luck. I have seen the same model being labelled East Indian, Island, Black, Dime Pieces, Soft Core, Hard Core, Public, meaning outdoors etc. If you search solely by ethnicity you get lists by volume, with models in it that have no logical reason at all. I think they are listed in each volume because of the release date.
Far too many models have tattoos or piercings. I did a completely unscientific study of the Black models that I have so far downloaded. Of these 104, 41 had either tattoos or piercings. Some have both. Some are small and discrete, but far too many have multiple tattoos and most of these models have these tattoos on the abdomen, thighs, breasts, near their breasts, etc. UGH!, Not for me. At least I did not find any at all with fake breasts.
Overall I liked most of the models and most of the photography. What I feel is that the site needs to be rethought as to what goes into it and how to be more user friendly. Right now it seems to be too big to make sense.
Current Member for over 1 year (at the time of review).
Pros:
Huge amount of content. Image resolution is now 2000x3000 since early 2011. Images prior to 2007
were at 1024x712 max and after Jan 2007 1024x1546 was the max resolution offered. The video resolution has also improved. They are now offered in 4 formats: stream, HD mp4, SD mp4 and wmv. There are 174 movie galleries as of this writing, with an average of 10 movies per gallery. However, most of the galleries are not at the highest resolution listed above, but are offered in mov or wmv format at 720x480 resolution.
Cons:
Many.
1) The site is now plagued with speed problems. They consolidated all sites in one server and as a result, there is a 5-10 seconds delay for images to load on the browser after the thumbnails are clicked. They added extra security (each image now has a key identifier, which changes with customer session). As a result the navigation experience is sluggish and at times frustrating. Request to change go unheard and for the most part they don;t seem to care.
2) The models as of late are a major disappointment. Most sets are boring, girls are not even that attractive (for the most part) or hairy and the quality of the images (even-though they offer them now at 2000x3000) are not well color balanced, i.e there is no quality control here. Just sheer volume of more and more boring stuff. Karupspc and karupsha has about the same type of content but with hotter looking models.
3) there is less of a difference between amkingdom and atkhairy when it comes to models and content as of late
Bottom Line:
The ATK Kingdom sites went through a major redesign for --most would agree, the worse for this one. If you have never been a member, ATKHAIRY for the price and content volume is a very good deal. If you have been a member before, say last year, don't bother re-subscribing. ATK really needs to rethink what it is they want to offer in terms of quality and a content which is true to the amateur and hairy niche they were known for in the past. Perhaps they should abandon the 8 updates per day, be more discriminating and at least offer much better quality and truly hairy amateur content. The site is neither amateur nor hairy anymore and there is very little difference between AMKINGDOM and ATKHAIRY content these days. I leave you with this statistic: in 2010 they posted 1600 sets of unshaved models in their "scary" (what a terrible and misleading label) category, of which only 14 or so models (FOURTEEN) could be judged as truly natural and hairy. That is not much content for a site that caters to amateur and hairy lovers.
Current Member for less than 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- Amount of content of ethnic/exotic women is most likely unmatched. Tons of content.
- Site finally has full photo set zip downloads instead of the sectioned zips it had for years.
- Photos range in technical quality, newest updates are in the 2000 long end range. Also seems to vary based on photographer.
- Navigation has improved, but also has cons. Pros, the model search allows multi-step searches, will explain more in BL.
- Can't really nail down when the video quality improved, looks to be the last 2-3 years, still not HD, but the videos are at least in full scenes, DVD quality now instead of parts. See cons for the other side.
- The site is working to improve and listening to the members.
- Models still are some of the best exotic/ethnic models on the internet, especially on the black models.
Cons:
- Older videos are still split into small (20 MB) parts. I guess I'm at the point where I won't even download those anymore.
- Navigation has improved a lot, but I still don't like the way it lists models by whatever classification you put in. Will explain in BL.
- Probably not a site for video only fans as the photos are generally better than the videos.
- And with most amateur/early porn career sites, there are some really bad looking models. To each his own there, but it could be a con for some. The good looking ones far outweigh the bad ones though.
Bottom Line:
I hadn't been to this site in over 2 years. I was hoping when I joined this time there would be some positive changes and there are. The full photo set zips is worth 5 points to me. ATK sites, to me, are very good sites for photo fans because they have nice, crisp and clear photos so the full scene zip is greatly appreciated.
Navigation has been an issue in the past with this site. They have a search now that I think is on the right track. For example you can do these steps.
Select letter for the first letter in the name, I'll use A. Once you do this, you can start refining the search by then choosing age, build, height, race, breast size, pubic hair style and photographer. You don't have to pick a choice in all. If you just want Latinas and don't care about the other choices you can just search for Latinas with the letter A starting their name or you can get downright picky and pick Latinas, 21 years old, hairy, etc...
To show how this works. If I go with the letter A to start my search and click, "build" it gives me these options large, medium, thin, very thin. In comparison if I start the search with models with Z as the first letter in their name, my build choices are only medium and very slim. So it really works in that sense.
And when you pick say "medium" in Z's, it removes the models in Z's that are not medium build. This is really nice search engine, but lets say you're not real patient or don't want to go through all those steps and just want Latinas by using the quick jump feature. It takes you to a page of names with no thumbnails and it's titled like this.
Volume 194, (model names). That's not of much use at all. I'm not even for sure how the volumes are classified or if there is a method they list them in. I'm guessing it has to do with newest released sets, but it makes the quick jump pretty much useless. It's okay for me since I don't mind digging through with the search engine to find the specific type of models I like, but I still think there has to be a better way to list the models than the "Volume 194" way.
Still, as a whole, the navigation has improved a great deal. Some of the quick jump options also seem pointless though like "dime pieces" what qualifies as a dime piece?
The models will surely satisfy most fans of exotic/ethnic models, Latinas, black, Indian, Asian, Islanders, they got it covered on the models part.
Movies, while some are good, most aren't. Many of the good ones are the older ones cut into parts. I don't see me keeping a lot of these movies. The photos on the other hand will nearly all be kept. It's not often you find this many beautiful ethnic models in one place in really nice photo sets.
Overall, the site impressed me much more than I expected it to since I had become so frustrated with the part scene zips for the photos. With that fixed, improvement in the navigation and the continuing generally good looking ethnic models, I'm back to recommending it highly.

Updated:
10-28-1007:49pm (Update History) Reason: Nope, just couldn't leave the score at 80. I tried to be objective but over 10 days with 8 picture updates a day I have downloaded ONE picture set!
Pros:
Huge number of models and pictures.
Picture (around 1600x1065px) files can now be downloaded in one zip file.
Large daily updates.
Fast downloads for me.
Good search engine that really allows you to narrow down your choices.
Cons:
I complained about this in my last review: Too little imagination shown by many photographers.
One of them uses the same dress and underwear on too many models. One striped dress in particular should be retired for good because I've seen it on at least four different models over the years.
Greater attention should be shown to the temperature of a picture set. Some are way too warm (too much color, too much of a yellowish, orange tinge).
Quality of models seems to be deteriorating with too many heavily tattooed and pierced ladies on the pay roll. Introduction of hardcore material has not done the site any good either. This was not taken into consideration when scoring because many like hardcore and consider this a plus.
I still don't like the present set-up when it comes to up-dates. To a newcomer it must be very confusing to see previous updates in numbered "volumes."
Videos have improved SOME (854x480px, 2149 TB) but still fall short in days where HD has become standard
Bottom Line:
I adjusted my score upward from the 75 I gave this site in my last review because I have already found some quite well done sets of beautiful hairy ladies in my first few days back with this site and with the large daily updates I expect to see enough worthwhile material to make my month's subscription a good deal.
Nov. 13, 2010:
However, now I am forced to downgrade even more because the quality of the updates is truly appalling. The models are lacking, with too many sporting tattoos, piercings, scars etc., the photography, as mentioned above, is consistently dull.
My take is that ATK Natural and Hairy is on its way out and is making a last ditch effort to keep or build its subscriber base by throwing 8 picture updates plus two videos a day at the consumer. This will be fine, of course, by those who like to rip a site but to the discriminating collector the present ATK is a disaster.
Just to show I am not being too subjective: I just counted the past thirteen updates containing 104 picture sets and only five of them were voted as "hot" by the subscribers!
Folks are fed up and it's obvious by the score they give the sets.
Was a member approx. 3 months prior to this review.
Pros:
Very very a lot of photographs and a lot of movies.
Amateur women who have not seen on other sites.
Women in various countries.
Convenient retrieval function.
Cons:
There are a lot of small size movies.
There is no discount even if becoming a member on the site in the same company.
However, it proposes some trails.
Bottom Line:
I like this site.
A lot of healthy photographs of amateur women are very wonderful.
It is natural or this site looks like ATK Galleria.
There are a lot of works of wonderful photographers as well as ATK Galleria.
A convenient retrieval function is the same.
Many of movies on this site are small.
However, the photograph is wonderful. The amount and the quality are good.
I enjoyed this site very much as well as ATK Galleria.
I recommend the inexperienced person to see ATK Galleria first.
It wants to enjoy it enough, and to recommend it to the person who likes the photograph by all means.
As for me, the member of ATK Galleria became before it became a member on this site. And, it is a member of ATK Exotics now.
Meanwhile, they proposed the trail of ATK Natural & Hairy and ATK Premium to me.
I enjoyed it very much on the site where both were good.
However, I wanted them to propose subscribing for one month of a little discount.
I think this to be different by the person.
When the subscription can be chosen for one month of a trail or a little discount, it is very glad.
Club Seventeen and Reality Kings propose the extended contract in a very good condition to me. It is glad.
Recently, the proposal that the company that made this site gave me is to subscribe to all sites for one month for about 90 dollars. It is not so glad. I did not contract.
Perhaps, I think that I become a member on this site again.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
+ True HD quality video (New vids are 1280 x 720/3.8 Mbps. Older vids are good at 854 x 480)
+ Good quality streaming video
+ Exclusive content updated regularly.
+ Non exclusive content from network sites available. It's separated out from the exclusive content, which is nice.
+ Plenty of content (over 1500 vids according to the TBP stats)
+ Girl named Kasey -- hot!
+ There is actually a height/weight definition of what they consider "petite" -- 5'4", 110 lbs.
Cons:
- No network access included with subscription. (Though there is some bonus content.)
- The site performance was fine when browsing but sometimes the downloads slowed to a crawl.
- I also had sporadic issues with the streaming video.
- Some of the videos got into foot fetish for some reason. (May be a plus for some.) Seemed like a random pairing with a petite site.
Bottom Line:
I enjoyed my month with ATK Petites. They have a nice blend of really cute, American and Euro girls. I'm personally not heavy into the petite fetish but if I were I might be a bit disappointed. Though they use height/weight requirements the petite aspect of the models physique isn't always accentuated.
The newer videos are high quality HD and older material is still good. I did have some issues with slow download times. When playing these videos in the VLC player I had some issues with freezing and pixelating, especially when I used the slider. (I considered putting this in the "cons" section but this may be an issue with the VLC player.)
