HegreArt has plenty of browsing options available for both videos and photo galleries. The photo galleries can all be downloaded in ZIP files, with images in these available to view at either 600 or 1200 pixels long. If you just want to browse the photos separately, there is an additional size available, this being of 2000 pixels long. The widths of the photos do vary, but the format is usually 2:3.
The videos are available in an extraordinary 5 different options – WMV, DivX, iPod, and two Quicktime versions of which one is optimised for Apple systems! Phew! The dimensions of the videos are generally around 400x300 in size, with bitrates varying, and obviously the size will be a fair bit smaller if you watch these movies on your iPod!
It’s high praise indeed for a site that it is so good that I actually delay having my lunch for a couple of hours so I can browse through some of what it has to offer.
I’ve had the privilege of seeing HegreArt a couple of times before in the last 2 years or so, and I always look forward to returning. Every time I do return, I find a couple of slight tweaks that have been made to the site to make it better despite the fact that I maintain at the time that it really couldn’t possibly be improved upon.
One area in which it has improved greatly over those couple of years though is in its films and videos. In the past they were slightly (but only slightly) repetitive in places, but the range has been improved immensely in recent times.
Amongst the range you can expect include music videos which are better than 99% of what you will find on MTV these days, when it chooses to play music videos, that is. Hype Williams really has got nothing on this bloke. The videos are no longer just a great back-up to the photo galleries, they are now as important as them.
The photo galleries really are quite beautifully shot, with inventive locations and indeed inventive outfits and get-ups for the girls to contend with. Hegre has an unerring ability to be able to discover the most beautiful elements of the girls he is photographing and indeed how to make them look more beautiful.
This is never more apparent than during the 40+ shoots he has done of the quite delightful Vilita, where he has steadily turned her into the site’s premier femme fatale. He can take pretty girls and make them beautiful. He takes beautiful women and makes them even more so.
The models themselves are mostly teen to mid-20s in age, an age range that I know has received him the odd bit of silly criticism in the past. But I can certainly see why he sticks to this age group, as a lot of his photography is about fleshing out innocence and the joy of youth.
It’s something that, once again, Petter Hegre pulls off quite brilliantly. The content is entirely girl-orientated with no hardcore pornography to speak of. This is adult entertainment for those who like to think a little bit whilst looking at beautiful nude women. |
