 In the long and popular tradition of magazine layout-style photo collections, AVErotica.com flashes onto the scene to add another healthy dose of randy Russian flavor. While the “AV” can be construed as "audiovisual," this particular instance finds the initials representing Russian photographer Anton Volkov and his body of work that just so happens to capture the bodies of just around 100 sexy young Russian gals at their most nude.
 Arranged by both month and alphabetically, each model has been granted her own solo pic section in which she's featured in dozens of varying thumbnailed shots viewable in “low,” “medium” and “high” resolutions. From unmade beds to sandy beaches, indoor studios to scenic outdoor panoramas, everyone’s individual personality is highlighted through the outfits they barely wear and the settings in which they pose. Even while working with fully nude women, Volkov’s work is tasteful and eye-catching. Employing an acrobatic style of posing, many of the models test the limits of their flexibility to create body shapes not frequently utilized in generic nude layouts. While others appear in cliché settings not far removed from the pages of men’s magazines, everyone here comes across as fresh-faced, relaxed and friendly, oozing innocence, and appearing as soft, sensual specimens of womanhood in its most natural of forms.
 The considerably smaller High-Definition (1280 x 720) movies section, finds a handful of the models’ photo work brought to life in sparkling Windows Media Player, QuickTime and DivX formats. These are all download-necessary clips of varying lengths that take varying minutes to load. Just slightly raunchier than their still-life counterparts, these music video-style videos aren’t overly action-packed, as they employ dreamy background music and the models’ attempts at seductively swaying through their scenarios. Bathing, climbing stairs, crawling on a forest floor might not necessarily be that exciting to begin with, but toss a hot naked chick who’s more than happy to thrust her bald vagina towards the camera into the equation, and it becomes a lot more interesting for at least few more minutes.
 Rounded out with a personal blog of professional experiences, AVErotica.com stands as an easily accessible online portfolio of Anton Volkov’s work. While not shockingly original when compared to his adult photography contemporaries, those familiar with this particularly Russian style (and the many similar sites sporting very similar work) will certainly agree that the man has a gifted eye for composition, and is comfortable and composed when pointing his camera at the living, breathing pieces of art he photographs.
