I was going back over the list of my old reviews to see what was what with some old sites I'd signed up for. The old timers on here might remember the "exchange" I had with good ol' Matt so it wouldn't surprise them that I was chuckling a bit before I even clicked on the link for this one.
NO MONTHLY SIGNUPS? Is he serious? $49 for six months is the minimum. That's a money grab I've never seen before.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
uge collection of over 35 gigs.
Most of the models are extremely attractive.
The models are all amateurs some of who continue on to make a name for themselves. Like Gianna Michaels.
There are multiple pictures of the same pose so if one picture is blurry the other will cover it.
There is a model directory set up an alphabetic form.
Photos go up to 2000x1333 in size
Photo collections are set up in zip files
Cons:
I ran into download problems and had to resolve it by switching back and forth between two browsers.
Some of the older material had problems with picture quality like blurriness and redeye. There would be pictures where the models eyes were cut off. Some of the pictures it seemed that the photographer was just as big of amateur as a model.
Bottom Line:
It was a good amateur site and it was only $15 a month. The pros greatly outweighed the cons.
This site has a lot going for it. Huge collection. Many popular porn stars in some of their first photo and video shoots. Example: Alison Angel, before she became famous, doing a video shoot with a dildo in her butt.
This site does not seem to update on a regular basis. This comment is being written on 20 Oct. and the last video update was 12 Sep; the last photo update was 7 Oct. BUT - do not let that discourage you. The collection is huge and EXCLUSIVE and the price is low.
Overall, a great value for the money - especially if you like younger models.

Pros:
# most models(18-23) are genuine amateurs; first timers flown into LA from all parts of the country
#pretty girls- I did not see very many models that I would pass
# nice shoots; provocative poses; girl next door; amateur quality; pretty girls-
I respect their model quality- poses; none have a stripper look to them- girl next door.
1303 x 2000 rez pics ( sets shot in 2009)
1063 x 1600 pic size; 2008 shoots.
884 models; 1048 vids; 249,995 pics
some models set pic count up to 200 per set.
videos: masterbation, interview; backstage, audition tapes- get to know models; lesbian; boy
girl hardcore all have links that seperates them out- dont have to got to fill in the box search page
recent 06'-09' vids 797 X1200 size; good quality. ##windows media or quicktime
#photoshoots start with sofcore- with plenty of nakedness towards the end
# behind the scenes photoshoots
#ccbill processor- reliable cancels and join
Cons:
# great looking models are spoiled by poor resolutions for any shoot shot between 2001- 2004. 2005 set sizes are bare minimum
acceptable size. Sets any older than 2005 and get tinier and tinier.
797 x1200 pics rez shot in 2006
546 x 683 pics sets shot in 2001 (who wants to see sets this small?)- 2001 sets should should
be scrapped- save the space
800 x 1067 sets shot in 2002.
711 x 1056; 711 x 1091 rez pics for set shot in 2005
# updates are inconsistent; and pic count inconsistent.
#vids are broken down into clips; and aren't offered in various sizes.
# they should resize or drop the sets from 2001-2004 and then reduce the membership price to 24.95. #29.95 is a bit too high. Though I'd pay that if they upgrade 2001- 2004. But may be better to drop it and then charge $24.95 for a smaller site.
# some models portfolios are three updates or less- though most are four or more with about three photosets to one vid ratio
Bottom Line:
I was a complete man slut this month and joined a new site to look at pretty girls. It was a long time since I tried a new site. Matts Models was one site that I was looking at for a while. i saw some great reviews on it- which is why I gave it a shot.
This site is for those who like pics; amateur models, lesbian vids; masterbation vids. The models are mostly students from all over the country who are flown in to LA for a few days. Some are genuine first timers- others can be found on other sites. Some have never done this before- others are not.
Most vids are shot in an apartment setting which give it an amateur look.
The pic quality is good- not great; the same goes for the vids.and I liked both the pics and vids. The pics primarily should satisfy pic lovers.
The problem with trying new sites is that you don't know what you are getting. The reviews don't always help either.
They did deliver on the models; beautiful models; provocative poses; with good resolution.
a lot of the models are from all over the country- and are flown in to LA for the shoots.
but this site is the best dating back to 2006 with 2005 being the last real year for acceptable quality. Any older than that- there are still beautiful models; but the size starts getting too small.
I would say- from 2006 on, Matts Models is a pretty decent site. The photosets are not
watch4beauty quality. I am a pic lover and they satisfied me.
This sites videos are fair to good quality and comes in 797 x 1200 size on screen; full screen mode is available.
Some random videos come through in a larger; hi rez size larger than 797 x 1200.
Photo quality 2006 to present is 8/10
model quality is 8/10- they said amateurs and most are
vid quality 7/10
updates 6/10
So, again, Matts Models is a good site 2006 to present.. Anything older than 2005 starts to get pretty sub standard.
I think that being a multimonth member can save money in the long run. This may be an even better way to save than trying to get the best month to month deal. I am a first time member of this site and am not familiar with it- so I passed on it this time. Got to see if I like it first. There is also $8.25 a month for a year. multi monthing may work out better; though I haven;t multi monthed it with any site except for Femjoy's 2 for 1 deal.
I'm a pretty new member to the site and really liking it but it seems every file I download, the first time try, downloadthemall using Firefox gives me a "Size Mismatch". It starts the download fine but sometime after the error happens.
Is this happening to anyone else? Is it just a Firefox/DownloadThemAll problem or is this a MattModels problem? Or does anyone even have a clue? LOL
Just wondering if the $14.95 discount is not offered anymore? Everytime I try to go to join, I get the normal $29.95 popping up on the join page. Am I the only one having this problem?
Finally thought about giving this site a try but don't think it's worth the regular $25-$30 a month price tag.

Pros:
Some new faces.
Cons:
Bad lighting. Average or mediocre video quality.
Inconsistent and rare updating.
Hidden bandwidth limit...was shut off with no warning for 24 hours. No notice of bandwith limits.
Horribly small jpegs. Some real small videos (even 10megs or less)
Bottom Line:
Probably worth 14.95 because of different non-pro models but boring presentation. Overall, I would skip it and pay xtra for a better sight. Teen Dreams is only 17.95 and has a lot more. However, it is nice to hear a conversation in English once in a while.
Was a member approx. 2 months prior to this review.
Pros:
This is one of my favorite sights.
- real amateur looking girls
- real clothes stripping
- I love the anti-glam attitude
- the little stories about the girls are fun
- nice emphasis on butt shots
- I am a big fan of the laying down flat on the belly pose and he has 4 or 5 of these in each shoot
- good variety and quality of girls - blondes, latinas, skinny, a little chubby, TANLINES!!, asian, etc.
Cons:
- Some complaints about photography may be justified. - red eye etc.
- videos are lame - but I don't do video
-
Bottom Line:
I like the amateur feel of this sight and the huge amount of photos. Also, he poses the models very well. Maybe its just me, but I get nothing from the big glam sights like Met or Hegre but this sight is very stimulating - you can actually visualize yourself talking (okay negotiating) to these girls instead of the ice princesses on the other sights.
I was a member more than a year ago. I contacted Matt that I had trouble downloading many of the videos. When he answered me more than a week later, his answer was that he would check into it. More than two weeks later, no reply and my membership expired. The few videos I did download were a complete waste.

Pros:
+ Well designed navigation with multiple content indexes
+ Roughly 1000 models
+ Very amateur spin, alot of unknown models
+ Many models who are now famous, but were just starting out when photographed
+ Interview "audition" videos are genuine and interesting, you get to hear what these girls are thinking about getting into the industry, Matt is respectful and not irritating
+ Matt seems to be very open to being contacted (although I never tried)
+ Good TBP price of $14.95
+ Bonus join of "Ownmymouth.com" for $4.95 for three days, really hot POV content
+ Matt likes to drink beer, play guitar, and photograph nude chicks! That's two things I have in common with him, and one I wish I did.
+ This was a top site in its day
Cons:
- Most content is very dated, low quality
- Alot of "unattractive" models
- Not many new updates, Matt appears to be losing interest in his site
- Too many photos in sets (typically 150 or more), alot of repeat photos, takes a long time to make progress
Bottom Line:
If I ever owned a website, and was just starting out, I probably wouldn't do half as good a job as Matt has. Finding the models, photographing them, administering the website, etc., is alot of work. Matt has certainly done an exceptional job for someone that started out almost 10 years ago, and in its heyday this must have been THE place to go for amateur and up-and-coming content.
Unfortunately by today's standards, the site's age really shows compared to other sites. Most photos are low resolution, and the newer higher res ones are poorly photographed (blurry, bad lighting, etc.)
A key reason I joined was to get some early content of many of my favorites: Destiny St. Claire, Sarah Blake, Peaches, Jaime Lynn, Jassie, Jana Cova, ... Unfortunately most of this content is low quality, and I was a bit disappointed. Some photos appear to have been originally shot with a digital cam many years ago, that gives an idea of the quality, but at the same time, adds to the "home-grown" nature of the site.
Not to be rude, but alot of the models are downright ugly, admittedly that's just my personal taste. If I was photographing nude models from a newspaper ad I'd probably shoot anyone that was willing! I'd recommend taking the tour and carefully perusing the model index. The actual site is just like the tour, except you have full access to the galleries and videos.
Bottom line: An interesting history lesson for collectors. Take the tour and judge this book by its cover.
I dont know what to say. Im only reviewing the solo video's. I dont pay for high speed to view pictures and not interested in seeing someones balls.
But man, Is Matt going out of business? I was a member the month before last and decided to wait just incase it was a fluke. One update the entire month.
Looks like Matt's isnt the place to see some good solo's....looks like it never will be either.
I'm still here - at TBP and PU - because this place - or both - helps a lot in searching for new (and better) sites. And to give and get feedback is essential!!! (Not to mention some fine chats with some great PUs)
And of course Maggie, Spencer, Duke and Vanessa (whoever they may be) have the right to their oppinion.
But, man - when you look at the comments from PU's about this site I do not understand Matt's Models still have over 90.

Pros:
Good amount of content
Easy to download, batch downloading
Great download speed. 40 MBit/s
Files named nicely
Nearly 3000 Zip sets
Close to 1000 videos
Newer videos look nice
$15 price is not bad
Cons:
Very unprofessional
Picture on the small side, except for the newest
Site is a pain to get around
Mostly couch scenes
Download managers are not fully suported
Bottom Line:
The price for this site makes it would a look. It is possible to download the zips in a batch download for you picture lovers. This makes download all 3000 zips pretty easy. The speeds are not bad either, I saw 40 MBit/s.
Be careful with download managers. They work to download the content once it is in queue, but if you use the manager to scan the site you will be locked out for browsing too many pages too quickly. This is not a huge issue though because they reset the lockout list every 15 minutes.
The videos vary on size and bit rate, but the newer half at least is 640x480 and around 1000 KBit/s. There are some that are half that, but those are older and that is usually to be expected.
The newest photo set, March 23, as about 100 photos in it and they are 1600x1067. They look nice, but of course the older ones are smaller 683x512.
A good portion of the videos are "audition" videos, then some masturbation videos. There is not a lot of G/G and some B/G, but not much. Some of the videos make you open separate browsers even when clicking the download link, and there are other things that make the site navigation a little of a pain.
They also claim to be the first to shoot Amy Reid, I am a big fan of her! :)
If you are bored on day and want a site that does not cost an arm and a leg, and do not mind less than perfect content then this site would be recommended. But if you want top rate photos and well planned scenes then you should look elsewhere

Pros:
- Tons of content, upwards of 3,000 picture sets and 1,000 videos
- Many known pornstars before they were stars, many amateurs that I wish went on to a career in porn as well.
- Though quality on picture sets does vary, all sets are available in zips
- Exclusive content
- New site design from when I was a member a few months ago, download speeds have increased for me.
- Great TBP price of $14.95
Cons:
- Video quality could be improved, but I like this site for the exclusive pictures moreso than the videos.
- Picture quality could be better, but it is advertised as amateur site, so it isn't that bad.
- Not a lot of hardcore
- Older sets have a quality dropoff from new sets
Bottom Line:
Matt's Models reminds me a lot of the ATK sites. If you're here just for the videos, you probably won't like it as much. One of my favorite parts of the site is the "before they were stars" content. My original reason for joining was to get some really great older content of Eva Angelina, pre-implants, with glasses too. Just a few other recognizable models are Erica Campbell, Shay Laren and a personal favorite Addisson Rose.
Looking through the more amateur models that have yet to go pro, or for that matter, may never go pro, adds value to the site since some of these girls haven't been seen before. Cassandra Colegra is another favorite here, she has her own site now, but isn't as well known as most pro models.
Picture quality can throw you off some. I've downloaded different sets from different years and overall, I would call the resolution average just above average for the entire site. The newer sets are better, as expected. The videos I have downloaded are around 500 on the high end of the resolution scale, downloadable in full scenes, which is a plus over the aforementioned ATK sites.
Overall, this isn't a site that I would tell a new porn customer to check out. I get a lot out of this site, because they have plenty of material from some of my favorites, but it still isn't a site to introduce someone to online porn with. On the other hand, if you've never tried Matt's, I would give it a recommendation, especially with the $14.95 price. Recommended!
Well I am only going to critique his video solos. Thats all I ever watch...not into pics, hardcore ect.
I have talked with matt about his video work in the past via his forum. He doesnt seem to be interested in my opionion and pretty much told me hes doing fine the way it is.
You can tell matt is a photo guy. He moves way too much for video. Almost to the point that its sickening to watch. I mean from frame to frame. Once he finds a good shot (which sometimes can take 1/2 the video) its only there for a sec or 2 then hes moving somewhere else....shaking ect.
He does have a lot of good solo videos. Newer concepts (for websites that is) with the introduction of the magic wand. Im glad hes not going into the sybian like a lot of others are. If he would hold his shots steady.....find good angles...good framing....stop moving shots so much..concentrate on what hes doing...instead of leaving his patrons asking "I wonder why he did that?" then he would be his proclaimed king. From a solo video standpoint that is.
All in all...still needs a lot of work on the solo videos....think its about time for him to contract out.
But is still a site I would recommend if for nothing else the chantelle video (which is probably the best solo video I have found yet). Its been sometime since I have signed up but did so lastnight. He did get some other nice shots in there....that wasnt a shot of the back of the vibrator...or a close up of the models face while shes cumming.
