Up Close With Harlow West

This feature appears in the October issue of AVN magazine.

LOS ANGELES—Walking in while still wearing a small green bikini and three-inch heels from a photoshoot she just finished, Harlow West doesn’t mind being nearly naked during her interview. With a cute giggle and an easygoing charm that betrays her small town New Hampshire upbringing, she’s at ease sharing her passion for summer as well as her predilection for creampies.

“Creampies are great,” she said, with a sly smile. “I was always doing creampies until I found out I have a really sensitive PH balance and I’d have to pop boric acid inside me all the time after a creampie and it’s not healthy for me. It’s too bad.”

With true earnestness as she rests her chin on her palm, the 24-year-old buxom blonde gives a quiet sigh as if secretly mourning her creampie days, but the smile is back as she tells of her recent scene that left her and her partner spent. “I had a huge load recently—all the way from England,” she recalled. “It was Clarke Kent. He flew in for my shoot a couple of weeks ago. I guess he stored that load just for me. It was amazing!”

Having recently returned to performing after a two-year break to explore herself further, West is back with a new dedication that aims to fulfill her porn dreams of working with the industry’s top performers and directors.

It was just five years ago that West first thought about entering the industry after growing up in a small town in New Hampshire where the cows and chickens vastly outnumbered the people by seeming a 10-1 margin. Always studious, the petite tomboy was well on her way to becoming one of her school’s top scholars.

By the time she graduated high school, she also was boy crazy. It was in 2019 when she first entertained the idea of adult modeling.

“A photographer found my personal Instagram,” she recalled. “He had said he did nude boudoir photoshoots. That was in November of 2019… After putting it off for a couple of months we did the photoshoot. It was my first paid one, though I didn’t get paid that much.”

She went on to do some lingerie and bikini shoots and eventually graduated to more lucrative nude shoots where her striking looks and inner bad girl earned her the attention of fans and porn producers alike. And just six months after her first modeling gig, she agreed to do her first porn scene, flying to Florida with her bestie who was also interested in doing porn.

“My first porn shoot felt like a hookup because the male talent really liked me,” she said. 

Her bubbly attitude and her free-spirited natural enthusiasm led the 19-year-old newcomer to book more shoots and gain more experience and confidence.

“My Penthouse shoot... I shot that in Florida. It was pretty quick in my career. And I don’t know if it was true, but I didn’t know how rare it was to shoot for Penthouse only being in the industry for three to four months at the time,” she recalled. “Tyler Steele was my male talent… we had a mutual crush and the chemistry was like super off the charts. It was the biggest crew, like ten people there and they did my hair and makeup so I felt like a Barbie Doll.”

West, who by then had moved to Las Vegas, would go on to book a series of taboo-themed scenes as an ingénue or co-ed with a wild streak. That wasn’t much of a reach for the energetic starlet as she starred for such studios as Bang, Cherry Pimps, Digital Sin, Elegant Angel, Evil Angel, Girlfriends Films, Mylf, Naughty America, TeamSkeet and others.

“Stepdaughters are primarily what I get booked for,” she said. “I think the one thing I got booked for that’s not a teen was for Touch My Wife where it’s a cuck scene and it’s Father’s Day and I bring someone over to fuck in front of my husband. It was great.”

As word of her energetic performances and easy-going nature gets around, she is becoming a favorite of some directors and brands.

“Alex Adams recently released one of my scenes. I’ve shot a handful of times for him,” she recalled. “He booked me in Florida in April and a week later, he wanted me again for another shoot.

“He said to me, ‘I booked you because you’re kind, patient and even when you deal with a lot and if a guy gives you problems you’re not going to sit there and complain.’ So that was nice of him.”

With more bookings in the offing—she is signed with Foxxx Modeling—and a stable personal relationship at home, the comely starlet is slowly building her empire with a slew of unique content on her platforms and plans to feature dance and direct and produce in the future.
