Yeah, I'm with you. Style makes it a whole lot better, in my opinion. But to each their own. I think the roots for that (for me) comes from my excitement of watching those old soft-porn movies. Even if the sex wasn't explicit, something about the erotic nature of those movies, even if not as stylish as Kayden scenes, turned me on a lot. Which is something similar to Kayden scenes, but with actual rough explicit sex penetration.
Kayden steps in front of the camera for the next scene ... it's only a GG scene with Riley Steele though ... Not a big fan of her directing personally tbh, but as a performer, she's a legend. Hopefully, we'll see her do a BG scene some time. Even if it's only with Manuel, I would be very happy. It's been a while since their last one.

The only good scene this site has produced so far was Evelin Stone's
The next scene is an orgy with Abigail Mac, Romi Rain, Giannia Dior, Brigitte B & Nikki Delano i believe👍

All I can say is that, Kayden Kross is actually a TERRIBLE DIRECTOR. All these deeper.com scenes are complete shit. Kayden has the unique skill of taking a hot bombshell and then creating some terrible scenes.
I've noticed this from her TrenchCoatX days, which had many poorly created scenes. And the worst ever decision Greg Lansky made was to allow her to shoot Bree Daniels' first ever interracial on blacked. She completely ruined the scene, and doesn't even seem to understand basic cinematography techniques when it comes to using sunlight and shades.
I'm with crazyike. Better for the world if she switches sides of the camera. She's terrible with angles, which made the Abigail showcase pretty lackluster.
^ Again what's wrong with the camera angles and why? For example I don't need obsessive close-up on the genitals as I don't need acrobatic people taking every single position available in nature to fulfill every taste , what I need is something that shows lust and eagerness and she does, moans and faces in my view are way more effective than a close-up on an ass-hole

I specifically mentioned one example about how she doesn't know to use sunlight and shades. Did that just fly right over your head?

Yes, also the brownish film color themes were also off-putting
No but saying that lights and shades are wrong means absolutely nothing if you don't say how they SHOULD be used correctly ,, it's just half thought you've placed unless the other half flew over your head...

I know basic photography to be aware of the sun's direction and its effect. Direction, dude.. direction. She's the "director", not me. As the customer, i can only critique. If you're such a Kayden fanboi, so be it.
^ Unless you think she's blind you have to assume it's on purpose and actually that reverberation of the light DOES NOT cover what should be seen , her face and the sexual action , none of them is covered, thus it's meant like that, it's not a mistake You can even see that the side opposite of such light isn't in shade hence there's a light positioned to counter the reverberation and allowing to see regardless. it's on purpose

^^ If that's a sustained shot then yeah it's a major gaff... but if it was taken while slowly panning horizontally or vertically it can work just fine. Knowing when to allow some flaring is a pretty artistic call, sometimes it works and it's hard to give a +/- on that screenie alone.

I don't find anything interesting in this site that is presented as a "novelty" within a group of companies the truth, just for this reason maybe... I prefer Trenchcoatxxx that seems to apply the main category much better tbh... It's sometimes "funny" how people call "this is innovation and quality scenes" when I only see companies that are associated to resell material under the name of another with more bessiness weight...
Isn't it ironic when a Mindgeek fan criticizes any other company?

It's a nickname Janitor gave me without me being ok with that so I guess I don't have to take care about it when I make my comments, I watch porn IN GENERAL...

Lulubell, your regular MO is to promote Mindgeek companies and criticize others. My options were to identify your bias or deactivate your account. I chose the former. You can always choose the latter.

LOL, just a little off there, buddy.
Turns out it's actually Riley Reid, Gabbie Carter, Vicki Chase and three dudes: "Try Me" trailer
Who are 1 and 2 here at the beginning of the scene?

This website is so boring and a waste of talent, and I'm glad to know I'm not the only one thinking this way considering the dearth of commentary on it
^ Its total hit and miss for me. I couldn;t subscribe because it's so inconsistent. But at least they're making effort with the casting and production, unlike a couple of other sites on the network. Next scene with Autumn Falls and Bunny Colby looks alright.
The latest scene with Brooklyn Gray is the best they've ever done. The terrible framed shots continue however.
It's a recurring problem in all of Kayden's scenes which makes me wonder whether she thinks these are good shots. Keep your main subject WITHIN the frame. How hard can it be honestly. It's porn. Why even bother making the the female talent keep the heels on if you're not gonna show them? Half the time the shorts were 25% wall while the female talent was out of frame....
You can easily suscribe now there is a promo at -70% and figure out how good is their work. It's pretty funny to criticize without having paying for.
Anyway, could next one be Ariana Marie? Now she's under contract, Deeper is the last studio in VixenGroup she hasn't shot for yet. I can see her through the blur...
Right now they have their twins gimmick, the reason they get to shoot a lot of scenes, but how long will it last if they stay as uninterested in every scene moving forward?

Jfc, another Angela White feature? How many showcases for one woman? I guess everyone is unaffordable or won't do certain acts yet into their career, so this is what we're stuck with.

Not always it doesnt.
IF you want style to work in porn you need a Good pornstars performing well with good direction.
Lansky these days is just Pure Style and no substance bar a few scenes here and there
His scenes are boring. The best Directors can get average pornstars in hot scenes. Lanssky has worked with some of the hottest and theyve been huge letdowns
Eva Lovia Showcase is a prime example. It sucked. Which is a shame because he had her tied down to a shitty contract.
The whole thing is available right now on adultempire (and elsewhere).
Besides the last scene which is gay/ts which I skipped this is one of the best features in porn ever imo. Kayden's quickly becoming one of my favorite directors. I agree some of her scenes are hit or miss. But when she hits it's for homeruns. When the style the story and the sex all click together it's as good as porn can get imo.

All of these deeper / Kayden Kross scenes are either in a too dim/dark setting or on the other end where it feels like when you're driving with the sun in your face. I'm really not a fan of her style.
Hope they do more scenes like they did to Brooklyn grays

I have caught up with the last 15 scenes and Angela's showcase. Deeper takes itself so seriously it's hilarious to watch. The only decent scene I have seen from this site remains the Evelin Stone/Manuel one
This thread is pretty much dead and it's understandable considering the poor content of the site, but the next scene seems to be quite an interesting and intense one. Any guesses?
