Is it possible for one of the best to get even better? When it is GayTeenStudio you are talking about, the answer is a resounding YES!

Recently a new site design with new features was unveiled at GTS - these things always make me nervous as I always expect that is just can't get any better. Not true here. The new color scheme and the feel of the site is just right - it really makes you feel like you belong there. And who wouldn't want to belong there when you are surrounded by the likes of Marat, Semyon, and Louis.

The photography and the photo quality and eroticism at the GayTeenStudio is just first class. No one does it better. Wonderful studio lighting, sparkling models, and that magic between the model and the camera you only find once is a great while.

Now we're talking. Outstanding photography, really nicely done with subtle lighting, earthy tones, and a truly professional equipment. The photographer shows off his skills by using side and back lighting for some sets, and bleached studio lighting for other sets. A lot of thought goes into this, as he seems to pick the more extrovert boys for the studio setup, and the quieter boys for the bedroom romance sessions, matching each boy to each scene.

The photographer has a very romantic touch, and the boys appear to be bathed in a fantasy of earthy shades and shadows. Its extremely erotic, not you're usual point and click affair. The images come alive with the lighting effects showing off the definition of the body, every ripple of the flesh is visible, as if transforming the two dimensional image into 3D. The outdoor scenes are especially nice.

The new features include zip downloads of the beautiful photos that now come in two sizes, large -1500x1000 pixels and small at 1280x853. The small is bigger than the usual size is at most sites. All of the old sets have been re-processed so everything in the site is of the highest quality.

There is a new forum setup, with Comments, Suggestions, and Technical problem areas. You can even remove comments up to 24 hours after posting so you can write love notes to the models and then delete them the next morning!

A new rating system has been set up with both photoset ratings and model ratings. Having photosets rated is a great idea as it is the combined vision of a real team that makes for these breathtaking sets.

The most unusual and perhaps most useful new feature is My Lightbox. It is like having your own personal area in the site where you can "store" your favorite shots. Sort of like looking at your favorite slides on a light-table. How many times have you had to look and look to find that one shot you loved? And you don't even have to save your favorite shots to your machine - they are online. Great for traveling and those lonely nights with laptop in your hotel room!

The GTS team has even selected a set of their own favorites as part of the Club Area, called, what else, Best Shots. Truly amazing stuff. As you know I have area in PhotoPost called Andy's Picks. It is always tough for me to add shots to this gallery which are NOT from GTS - and all of the ones in Best Shots belong in Andy's Picks! I look forward to seeing what they will be doing in the Digital Art section. Looks like I will have new material for wallpapers and screen savers, let alone digital print posters!

The navigation in the site and particularly in the Member Area is easy, logical, and full of thoughtful features, like a link showing you all the sets a particular model appears in. The comments on the models home page are fun to read through and easy to add comments to. There a some duo sessions, but it is mainly solo sets. No videos yet, but when they do start with them and rumor has it we don't have to wait too long, I am sure it will be equal to the photo work. Image being able to see the models in those shots actually move! The One Page button is great for getting an overview of all the models or an entire gallery.

You might find other sites with more models, with videos, more menus and subsites, but you won't find any this well presented, this cute, this erotic, or this beautiful. If its quality you want rather than quantity, this IS it. The definition of breathtaking.

From an artistic/erotic standpoint this site is number one for me. It is the site I wanted to make when I made my first paysite. I couldn't do it, but thankfully the guys at GTS could.
