Using my imaginationI imagine the site's name, Shadow Slaves refers to the dark, hidden inner recesses of desire and I can only imagine that the slaves on this site will be forced to reach their thresholds of both pain and pleasure. 
ShadowSlaves is an amateur BDSM site as far as the design indicates. There's nothing wrong with this, but in entering a member's area, I'm always more inclined to get excited about content if the page appeals to me. Another important aspect is whether the content is easy to find and it is through a basic menu.
What's immediately impressive to me is the number of updates for an amateur site. There were four in the last week, which signals to me that even if there is not a lot of content, there sure will be soon at this rate. It appears that the site was founded in 2003 and while this first year was a bit slow, the site has been increasing the amount since then. Find there's a lot to explore!
Currently, you'll discover 81 sets of photos. Each set is divided into smaller sets, or galleries as the site calls them, but they're basically a continuation of a single one. Picture sizes vary but 1024x780 seems to be the standard for the newer photos and in the video section you will be able to get additional screenshot captures. The still photography isn't spectacular, but amateur lovers will get off on the realistic style, which makes you feel that these are real people engaged in real BDSM scenarios. In fact, reality is something that the site prides on.
One of the terrific things about the movies is that they're all downloadable and you can either receive them as full-length 30 to 60-minute Windows Media files (254k) or as shorter low or high-resolution (788k) clips. There are 46 full movies and if you want reality, then man do you get it! Anyone into hardcore S&M will love the sessions of pain and humiliation that this site appears to specialize in. While there are some rope bondage scenes, I felt the site profiled more pain sluts than other sites I've seen in the niche. Some of the scenarios were more typical BDSM fair, but there were others that really drew out a kind of creative authenticity to how many sessions play out in real-life. This is the aspect of the site I loved most, however the quality was not up to a perfect standard. The sound was great, yet the image in full movies was slightly blurry. Nevertheless, the high-rez clips are worth downloading.
S&M lovers will definitely get off on the everyday pain sluts that populate this site. There is a blend of conventional and creative scenes in the movies, although the site doesn't delve really deep into spectacular edge-play scenarios, although it does come close at times. It would be a fantastic amateur site except for the fact that the quality of the full-length videos is merely average. On the other hand with good quality clips, I'd say this is a terrific amateur site.
