Russian Tgirls

[Tara Emory]

Yes thats the thing, these are pretty much all STUDIO shots with big source BEAUTY lighting, SMART simple sets and props, Excellent WARDROBE that fits, excellent HAIR and MAKE-UP and good solid EVERYDAY (but not extreme) RETOUCHING. You are seeing professional Playboy, Vogue, Surface, Maxim like glamour photography.

This Russian site does NOT feature rushed amature photography in some crappy motel room with on-camera flash or dumb light placement, little or no makeup, (or even washup), used clothing and straight to to site-slam it up post-production (ie NO retouching) ASAP. Most TS porn sites we are normally exposed to are like this...

Every word right on the money. Co-sign. WORD. What you said. What the fuck ever. You're so absolutely right.

People are so used to looking at crap, badly exposed, badly focussed, badly composed "photographs" taken with inappropriate lenses and abominable lighting, sorry, on-camera twinky flash, that they actually accuse people of cheating when they see a half decent pro job. Jeez!

I've said it before so I'll say it again: most TS photographs you see are utter, unadulterated crap that any self-respecting photographer would be ashamed to admit having taken. And the video work is even worse.

Well, I'll tell you: I used to put my twenty-five or thirty bucks every month towards one of the TS sites. Over the years I've been on quite a few. NO MORE. That's it, finito. I'll go back to pic sharing, even though it does "strangle the porn industry." Why? Because the TS porn industry product is so unbelievably shit it does not deserve any support at all, and if a few of the companies producing it start to feel their financial pips being squeezed they might actually hire some real photographers and give their customers a product worth buying.

I would be ashamed to sell the crap these people sell. If the pornographers get stuffed for selling shite I feel no sympathy for them.

I won't name and shame (though it might get there) but if you want to see TS pics from a photographer with talent who takes some time and trouble over her work, check out Nicole Montero from Latina Tranny. At least she tries.

I've seen a lot of these "russian t-girls" photographs here and there, and here is my assessment:

The girls are real- sort of.. They are real T-girls, and there's nothing that suggests that they are ALL Russian, as if they can't be from anywhere else in Europe (just becuase the site is Russian doesn't mean the girls are supposed to look like they're waiting in bread lines in Siberia!). It's not like Russian pronographers aren't allowed to leave their country. Especially if they could just hop over to the Czech Republic or something.

After looking at a lot of these, if they WERE real G-girls with cocks added, then they must've planned this from the get-go. i.e, they didn't add cocks to exisiting GG porn pix.. Plus, their hands are definitely positioned to be holding cocks, etc.. and the lighting on the cocks matches the models perfectly.. And if they were dildos held to their crotches (with the seams photoshopped out), I'd think that somone would recognize a dildo as being one from their collection. There are only so many realistic dildos out there, and most of them don't look like that.

Now, of course, there IS retouching, but it's very particular and very, very professional. This is Playboy-style lighting, and the sets are top notch.. I'd almost go so far to say that this is the work of one photographer, so he needs reveal himself and take credit for his work.

On the negative side, I do see evidence of some waist trimming.. Take the following picture for example. Notice the rice paper blind to the right of her from her armpit straight down to her thigh, and you'll see it's been cut and pasted and moved to cover her real figure.

So if her waist was shrunk, then it's plausible to believe that she once had more realistic TS-like proportions, meaning that it IS a real t-girl in the picture. I think it's also pretty likely that her nipples have been enlargened as well.

Actually , with that tattoo around her navel, has anyone seen any more pictures of her? She might even be Brazillian for all we know. If the american pornographers get to Brazil, why can't the Russian ones?

Looking back at this entire thread, I'd say the photoshoppery varies from just a little, to some pix that are REALLY tweaked. Whoever is responsible for the pictures has a set "look" they want to achieve, and in some cases, if the girls need more tits, he gives them to her. If she doesn't, they stay as they are. It appears that all of them have some sort of filter that smooths out their skin, but judging by the faces, they're trannies.

Also, seeing as were seeing only a handful of pix from each girl, who knows how many they had to take to get those 3 or 4 awesome shots? When I shoot a set, I'll do like 200 pix, and maybe use 100-150, and even out of that, there might be 5 of them that really really "do it" for me.

I'll fess up and say that I use photoshop, though I've never fakes my waistline.. if I take a picture that makes my waist look fat, I won't use it. I also used to do a lot more with removing wrinkles/shadows, but I've also learned that proper lighting will make it unnessicary.

Personally I'm dying to figure out how to consistently do that "rim light" you see in the nice nice porn , like from Suze Randall.. The sort that highlights the breasts and the ass perfectly.

Photo shopped or not Tara, hands down you are beauty. I'd take you as you are anyday.

Thanks.. I only use as much photoshop as is needed..

I won't make any freinds for saying this , but there are some girls here on HA who use the "blur the whole skin" filter waaaaaay too much, and some of them don't really need to. A few of these girls are very attractive and they draw attention to their skin my making it way too blurry.

I am Russian and Live in Moscow. Some of the posters doubted the existence of Russian TGs, some accused them (and the photographers) in heavy use of photoshop. Most of the pics in the thread were taken at Dosug.nu /http://dosug.nu/servlet/ru/stickers?id_country=50&id_city=1961&id_part=5
I have a long term transsexual friend (MtF) and have been a witness of the 6 years transition, now she is a very known photographer here in Moscow and an author. I personally know some of transsexual people here and some of the girls on the site I met socially.
IMO the girls on the site can be divided into two categories: pretty young gay guys who dress up only for business hours while escorting, some girls are real TSs. They are trying to get some money for surgery and full transition. Some of them are very nice and smart, they have a chance to adapt to the society. I know a girl who was able to work as a female model even before her operation (tape on the genitals), now she has a proper job in the advertisement and publishing. She was smart enough not to appear on the Dosug site while she was escorting part time before the transition. One of the TSs is married to a German person for more than 4 years and I saw her here with her very happy husband and her 2 adopted children.
Some posters on the thread noticed very diverse ethnicity of the girls and suggested that they are not from Russia. Some of them came from the Muslim republics of the former USSR, where they have zero chance to be accepted as they are.
Photography: the girls use several professional studios with very good strobes and props. The "photoshoping" in the mast in the trade: they sell the illusion and fantasy. The photogs sometimes reshape their bodies, smooth the skin , doctor the blemishes. They are able to afford the professional studios because they are cheap ($300 per session). Reportage style photos are not very popular, only extremely beautiful girls can risk undoctored photos.
And there is no Russian Jennifer Paris here, she looks perfect!

Sure, these pictures have been touched up with photoshop, but why should you care? It's not like hardly any of us are ever going to meet these girls anyway. Looking at the pictures is just something to stimulate our fantasies and so why shouldn't they be as hot as possible? It's not just the photoshop that makes them work, there is a highly professional standard of hair, makeup and some very sexy lingerie to make these girls look as feminine and sexy as possible. I've got to agree that where before I was mostly into Brazilian girls, these Russians are something else, if you didn't show pictures of their cocks, I would completely believe they were gorgeous GG models.
So, I'll definitely take the fantasy these retouched and perfected pictures is putting in my head over some poorly produced efforts at reality.
Any more pictures of this incredible hottie?

I love these forums. The diversity of what people like amazes me. Most comments I read indicate the Average Joe who comes here is dismissive of part time girls because they don't look feminine enough. But, they want pics of incredibly hot transexuals with HUGE cocks topping men. But NO PHOTOSHOP. That's taboo. LOL

Like every photo you see in advertising isn't photoshopped.

Me personally. I love pics of part time girls (as long as they shave). They remind me that there are tons of girls out there just like me. I understand their desires and struggles. I love pics of beautiful transexuals. They give me a goal and vision for the future. I don't care if the pics are photoshopped or not. The goal and vision is still there and just as glorious.

I don't care for pics of girls with huge cocks or girls topping men. Not my thing. I hate up close crotch shots that show pimples from where girls didn't shave well. Too much reality for me. I hate untrimmed pubic hair or unshaved balls. Not feminine enough.

These Russian girls are beautiful. Some photoshopping took place. Big deal.
