AbbyWinters.com Controversy over the identity of Abby Winters

Abby Winters is an Internet persona. ‘Her’ first writings to usenet are from 1996. Abby insists in print interviews that she is a real person, but is now removed from the day-to-day operations of the business.

The site’s official folklore says that it was founded for fun, launched October 14, 2000, by a photographer, Abby Winters (born December 13, 1974), and her web-designer friend, who observed how poor existing sites were and thought that she could do better. Around May 2002 Abby left to “pursue other interests” and Garion Hall became owner and operator of the website. Abby Winters does regular interviews and writings, but only does them in print, and there is no record of her appearing at any trade shows or events.

In the early years of the site, Abby was credited as the main photographer; as of November 2006, she was using a Canon EOS-1D Mark IIN digital camera.

The suggestion that Abby Winters is a woman has been disputed, with some suggesting that the name is in fact a pseudonym of (male) CEO Garion Hall.

Abby’s identity has been a frequent and contentious topic of discussion on abbywinters.com’s own discussion board. Since abbywinters.com’s appearance at the 2008 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, journalists covering the adult industry have published articles which express scepticism about Abby’s identity (often coupled with praise for the site’s content).

These have culminated in the adult news site Fleshbot publishing a photograph of Mr Hall wearing an “Abby” nametag and taking photographs at a 2007 shoot at which “Abby Winters” was the credited photographer. In addition, a model who participated in the photoshoot mentioned Hall by name as the photographer in a post on the website’s forum, although this reference was later removed.

AbbyWinters

The website features female models from ages 18 to 25. Most models have not appeared in pornography before. The site does not feature models with surgically enhanced breasts, models wear little makeup, and often have a full patch of pubic hair.

The women begin the shoots wearing their own clothes and underwear, which they gradually shed, and are photographed in their own homes and bedrooms and/or in outdoor settings. Most appear in both still photos and videos. As of 2009 there were 1200 models featured on the site, with more than 370,000 images and almost 4000 videos. It has been praised for portraying a more realistic depiction of sex than most pornography.

Customers are able to suggest scenarios on the sites forum which are sometimes filmed. After establishing a rough scenario for each shoot the production team then lets the performers decide how fast the scene progresses, and which sex acts they will perform. All scenes are filmed by women, some of whom have previously modeled for the site. Girls are paid approximately $800 for a solo masturbation scene, and $1,400 for a sex scene with another girl.
