Breathtakers
'Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Breath-Takers.com can cause Heart attacks but is good for Your Health'-- so runs the warning on the front page of Breath-takers.com. I've just logged in and already I can determine two things: i) the owners are not native speakers of English and ii) they aren't afraid to make bold claims. In this industry, for one, neither of those things should be considered a disadvantage.
The joint brainchild of a professional erotic photographer from England and an art dealer from France, the site doesn't fail to deliver on its promises and has pages of érotique photography starring girls who look more sophisticated than your average mid-Western stripper.
A handy rule of thumb for those in any confusion is as follows: erotic is when you use the feather, kinky is when you use the chicken...

The joint brainchild of a professional erotic photographer from England and an art dealer from France, the site doesn't fail to deliver on its promises and has pages of érotique photography starring girls who look more sophisticated than your average mid-Western stripper.
A handy rule of thumb for those in any confusion is as follows: erotic is when you use the feather, kinky is when you use the chicken. Breath-takers is more feather than anything, featuring tasteful high resolution photo sets with pictures that make artful use of shadow, costume and setting. The photographer's artistic background clearly shines through in every set; despite not having a reputation in the same league as, say, Hegre these photo-sets are among the best you will encounter on the internet – anywhere. That being said, you can't spell erotica without erotic and there's plenty of provocative material on here for the unrepentant perverts out there.
With only 27 girls in their stable (March 2008), Breath-takers are definitely trading on a quality over quantity approach. Some will demand more content but I think most will agree that it works; you would turn your head if you encountered any one of these ladies in the street, after all. Not every girl has more than one photo gallery online (there are no movies) but the site seems to update an average of three times per week, which is a promising beginning.
If you dig the artistic philosophy and discriminating tastes you're going to love Breath-takers. Like they say in their mission statement: 'We are just going to take you on a trip where everything is about sensuality, provocation, fantasy, glamour...This website is dedicated all to these girls we dreamed about...and all the others.' I think you get the idea.
