Overview:
Now in her early 60's, Suze Randall has built a pornography empire out of talent, determination and solid business sense. Since first appearing on screen in French auteur Eric Rohmer's 1972 film, Love in the Afternoon, Randall shifted gears and dove headfirst into erotic photography, as both subject and photographer. She has appeared in, or shot for, Penthouse, Hustler and Playboy, even acting as the latter two publications' staff photographer for a number of years in the 70's. Not only has Randall achieved crossover success by photographing album covers for Robert Palmer and New Order's Peter Hook, but her daughter, Holly Randall, is following in her mother's footsteps as both model and photographer. Suze dot net is Randall's main online venture (ably abetted by Suze Video and Suze Classics) and it aims to bring you "world famous photos & videos starring your favorite glamour models and porn stars in sexy centerfolds and hardcore scenes." That all sounds like it'd be a delight to view, so let's make like pork rinds and get crackin'!

At the start of your Suze adventure, the site’s tour page, you’ll see figures like 1200 and 3300 bandied around in regard to the number of videos, and galleries currently held inside the members’ area. Nikki Benz is featured prominently, as are Jana Cova, Andi San Dimas, Lisa Ann, and Uma Stone, making it clear that Ms. Randall is respected by some of the industry’s major talents. Even from this early stage, it’s obvious that Randall works in the ‘glamour porn’ niche favored by most major pornographic print publications – Hustler, Playboy, Penthouse et al – but alternates between solo models and hardcore sex shoots. Everything is always treated with a great deal of care and a discerning eye for feminine beauty. These shots are so attractive, I see no reason not to break down the brick wall of prohibited access and dive headfirst into Randall’s archives. Who’s coming with?

After entering your login details and landing on Suze's main page, you will find, as on most decent porn sites these days, a display showing all of the most recent updates, complete with direct links to photo and video content. Good-sized preview pics give you a taste of what each update entails and a synopsis of the scene fills in most of the gaps. As Randall has been in the business for quite some time, it’s not at all surprising to find that the site’s design is a tad outdated. In its current state, the site looks like it hasn't been touched since 2002, although that's not to say it isn't easy to use. There's a nice menu bar at the top of each page that gives you links to Home, Photos, Videos, Models, Boards, Classics, BPS (Best Porn Scenes), Network, and a few other, less interesting items. As far as the main content archive goes, updates arrive every weekday, occasionally twice a day, which keeps a steady flow of smut heading your way.

The model index is conveniently arranged alphabetically, with a list of the models on the right hand side and a more detailed letter-by-letter breakdown of the talent on the left. The left listing offers a portrait and direct links to the models' updates and official site (if they have one) as well as the ability to see how other members rate them. There's also a search function, photographer index and niche/category index to help you further narrow your search results. If you're only after women with ample bosoms, no problem! Dig on redheads? You got it! Love the work of photographer Matti Klatt? Here you go! After making sure to check out a number of pages of the model index, it's probably a good idea to pull your finger out and have at some juicy content. Let's check out some photo galleries and see if Suze Randall's talent with a shutter and f-stop is all that it's cracked up to be!

Once you've found a model that you desire to see in more intimate, erotic and explicit detail, you just have to give her image a click and you'll land on her profile/update page. Listed here is every single gallery and video your selected babe has made for Suze.net. On the left hand side of this page are a handful of vital statistics in addition to a short spiel that sums up why Suze thinks this gal is such an exceptional component of her site. With photo gallery listings, you'll note that your viewing options are shown directly on this listing page, which makes it very convenient to open a number of galleries at the same time. Slideshows and zip archives are provided for all galleries and the images can also be viewed individually by first clicking on the resolution option you would prefer – small (682x1024), medium (853x1280), or large (1067x1600). After choosing one of these, you're taken to the gallery page proper, with thumbnails arranged for your perusal. Selecting one shot will open it on its own page, complete with navigation buttons that lead you back or forward through the set, and, again, links to download a zip archive or start a slideshow. There's often also a link inviting you to watch a video of the scene that, when clicked, takes you to Suze Video, where you'll have to reenter your username and password before taking in the movie. At the stated resolutions, the photos look marvelous with rich, deep colors, plenty of detail, and a consistent professional sheen that a lot of porn usually shies away from. If you ever had any doubt as to Randall's talents and standards, the nearly 4,000 galleries should definitely put them to rest. 

The 1000-plus scenes of video content unfortunately aren’t as impressive as the photos, generally coming in small (320x180), medium (640x360) and high (720x406) quality options, all of which look below standard for a site of this stature and established professional reputation. Scenes range from softcore stripping and solo masturbation to hardcore fucking, both straight and lesbian. With such a great collective cast of superhot models and pornstars, there's no doubt that the vast majority of members will be satisfied with what they'll find once the videos start rolling.

As a member of Suze.net, you not only get to access to great archives on this site, but also those on Suze Videos and Suze Classics, both of which essentially function as extensions of Suze.net. You may need to enter your password a few extra times during your navigation, but it's definitely worth it. The only other bonus content currently offered falls under the Best Porn Scenes heading and brings you about 120 third-party scenes depicting all kinds of depraved and delicious hardcore fucking starring some of the hottest sluts in the business. Membership to Suze.net will cost you $19.93 per month if you decide on a single month of access. If you're confident enough to select the three or six month memberships, you'll find yourself getting a discounted monthly rate. Before you rush off to do just that, however, be sure to read the following last minute additions to the review because, as Suze Randall surely knows, the smallest details make the piece.

Pros:
- The photo content is of consistently high quality, with great photos and videos.

- Updates arrive at Suze.net at least once a day, occasionally twice.

- There is a fantastic collection of super sexy models ready to be ogled, gawked at and otherwise appreciated while they pose for the camera (and you), both with dick and without.

- With a hefty collection of content at your disposal, you won't run out of glamorous porn for a long time.

Cons:
- The design and navigation of the site could definitely use some modernizing and simplifying.

- There is an almost constant stream of ads on the side of the pages. While these ads link you to some hot sample content, they're still ads.

- Videos unfortunately don’t look as impressive as the photos.

- Sometimes you'll want to check out some pics that don't look overly posed and touched up. This is not the site for that style of photography.

Conclusion:
Suze Randall deserves your respect. Not only has she fashioned a unique career out of photographing nude women (and men) for the predominantly male-run porn industry, but she even roped her daughter Holly Randall into the same line of work. With Holly and a handful of other gifted shutterbugs in two, Randall now brings you her flagship website – Suze dot net. While Randall’s work is impeccably stylish, refined, and, above all, exciting, her website is in desperate need of a makeover. Videos suffer from weak resolution options and the general site design is by no means chic or modern; in fact, it happens to look quite dated. The abundant photo galleries are great and will definitely attract dedicated photo fans to the membership sign-up page, and with a membership price that costs less than $20 per month, I think you may find it easy to overlook some of the flaws within the site.
