PurplePort

A well designed ship with a dysfunctional captain and crew.
They taint the site with personal involvement very much like all the popular failed modelling sites before them. I was a member in the early days... I eventually called the owner a C... for not only buying a competitors. Com domain name but also my. Com after I left the site in a bad cloud. Yes they routed it to purpleport as a joke I presume. There's a nasty core in pp full of favouritism and sexual impropriety with models that goes right to the top and ridding of perfectly respectable photographers with cheap gossip. It's there way or the highway... let's all hope they hit that iceberg real soon.

After trying other similar sites I personally found PP to have the edge being user friendly and friendly models of all levels

I opened an account hoping to show off my photography and recruit models. I uploaded small images to get a feel for this site. Within days they closed my account with a message stating that my images do not meet the minimum guidelines of dimensions. What a sham. I am an amateur photographer with some schooling and can safely say this place is to be avoided.

If you register, they first spam your email, and then if you bother starting using their site they will ban you for no reason at all. A bit waste of time.

PurplePort is a great alternative to expensive webcam sex sites. Many of the models offer remote nude photo shoots for as little as £10 for an hour. It is of course, artistic.

Purpleport is a great networking site for Photographers, models and studios and the more you use it the better it becomes. Purpleport is more like a community who support and encourage people to achieve their aims. It is easy to use ans well regulated to keep everyone safe. Top marks

I have been a Purple Port member for six years, as designerphotography.
It is an excellent site with great photographers and good models. Because of its excellent reputation the site has grown considerably over the years, so occasionally you might find someone masquerading as someone they are not. However, admin do a brilliant job weeding these non desirable's out.
The site has a lot of functions and analytics so you need to take time to get to know how the site works and would always recommend a newcomer gets advice on how to make the site work for them.
One of the most important aspects of the site is its peer review system allowing you to see the reviews left for photographers or models by others on the site who have already worked with them.
Highly recommended

Lies, overpaid amateur models with no contract of works, faked professional models paid in cash to hide the hobby of rich pensioners to their wives thanks to purpleport.
This sort ofcwebsoted should be shut down for respect of taxpayers andpeople paid fairly in the modeling industry

Lies arrived up to trustpilot

After hastily signing up I went back and read the reviews, then proceeded to cancel my pending approval. I deleted my images and received an almost immediate email stating I didn't have an images uploaded. I commented that I wish to withdraw my application. Received another email "sorry to see you go". Then came the third email:

We're sorry to say that your application to join PurplePort.com was rejected.

Your images and your account have been deleted from our systems.

You can apply again at any time. It's likely that your application was rejected for one or more of the following reasons:

Not good enough portfolio notes.
Images that were too small or of too low quality to be useful.
Images that were inappropriate for PurplePort.com.

I withdrew because of the negative reviews and feedback I was getting about them. As I stated, a joke.

I used the site regularly for years, but was recently banned when casting for models the same way I'd always done. They allow you to ask for NSFW shoots and Adult but then ban you when you say the shoot would incorporate an adult theme.

I was on purpleport a few years and met arrogant people who get job thanks to their lies. Pensioners on purpleport can advertise themselves like the new helmut newton and housewives working naked in their bedroom can advertise themselves like the new sofia loren asking up to £300 a day! Payments in cash and no contracts of work thanks to the casting advertised on the website. Nobody there tells people to fill their tax debts with the governmemt and young girls are encouraged to travel abroad or work naked with no safety advices with these old men never met before. The admins are going around, (receiving favours from the owner of the website for that), sharing lies include 4 stars feedback on trustpilot. If a model has a problem with someone who is in the grace of the owner and his gang, usually does not share it otherwise she is treatened to be banned. People think thanks to purpleport they can become famous but in reality can ruin their career. Purpleport is a platform who ruins people most of the time encouraging prostitution, easy earning compared to normal and respectful jobs, tax evasion and lies. It exhists because based in England. In any other country would have been banned

At first I was dubious about a company like this, that had models/photographers/muas/etc meeting after the warning of don't meet strangers off the internet' from my parents, but Purpleport have done something fantastic here, bringing together likeminded, creative individuals to make some amazing pieces of art. I am completely satisfied and happy with the safety that this company has brought in to protect everyone, with all their articles on how to keep safe, and showing references on pages! Recently bought my VIP membership and can't wait to expand my portfolio more and work with even more great people!

I left this site, agast, as the site moderators allowed for members to display their hatred towards a certain religious group. This clearly demonstrated a double standard view and totally contradictory to accepted values we all should hold, tolerance to all.
I could state more on other negative aspects of the site, however, this has already been mentioned by other reviews.

Had high hopes for joing this site, its not something Ive done very much of but am keen to do, amateur photography with models etc.
I 'applied'which consisted of sending 4 photos and ticking a few boxes.
Application rejected within 24 hours.
Innocuous photos of things round the house.
Hmm
Applied again as allowed, this time accompanied by 4 very high quality glam photos
That ticked a few NSFW boxes and were declared to be such, thinking this was maybe more their bag. I KNOW these shoots were good they cost around 4oo pounds time and are totally unique using professional paid models.
Rejected again.
No explanation.
Theres no pleasing.
Only other time Ive dipped a toe in this scene was some Models Organisation Union
Run by a woman, and boy rolls eyes they were difficult to work with too.

With reference to the other review many decent photographers no longer want to be associated with the site and have left leaving an even higher proportion of skill-less pervs.

If you join as a model you will be hassled by them. If you join as a photographer you will be assumed to be one of them. You can't win either way and I doubt I will be there much longer. Activity on the site seems to be fading probably as a consequence of the above although it remains the largest site of its kind serving the UK.

I joined a while ago and I must say that the website itself is very well designed and user friendly.

However, my problem is with the community there. It is quite toxic and the forums are full of angry people fighting each other or fake people who are just pretending that everything is amazing.

Also, a thing that contributes to the anger is the Front Page Image system. At first, I thought that it was a good way to promote the website and get the best images on the front page. But I just see the same profiles getting on the front page over and over again while there are other photographers who have also amazing pictures (I mean pictures that could be a perfume commercial or a magazine cover) and they never get that recognition. Which makes them feel frustrated and get angry on the forums. It seems to me that it is a small group of people just nominating each other and voting each other to get into the front page and MAYBE occasionally someone else gets on the front page, but it is quite unusual.

Also, it is true that there are a few of amazing professionals on the website but there are also too many GWC that are into photography for the wrong reasons and just want to see naked women. The review system works ok but I would recommend models to DM other models to ask for private references about photographers.

It is a good website if you just want to meet the professionals that are in your area and choose who you want to work with. But I would not recommend engaging too much in the forums or worrying about not getting on the front page.

PurplePort is an extremely comprehensive resource guide for amateurs and professionals in the photographic and modelling industry offering valuable networking opportunities.

Purpleport is a website for amateurs
Everyone can join the website and starts to declare to be a professional model or photographer
Escort models ask 30 /50 pound per hour to show tits and bums
In spitfire studio of swindon an unknown model asked 150 pound per hour to shoot nude in april 2019
Payment outside the website. Cash in hands
Another example
There is a kniwn british model who comes every month from sweden. Two weeks of photoshoots with pensioners of the countryside. At the end she goes back to sweden with the wallet full of pound without declaring taxes
She is british and must pay her taxes
Everyone on that website behaves like that.
Purpleport must be shout down by the authority

Banned from the site after paying to use it for 6 years. Why? I've no idea. Their claim is "too many reports", but as far as I'm aware, I never had a complaint made against me and all my feedback was 100% positive. At one point the site operated on a warning / suspension / ban system, but for whatever reason in this case they've decided to ban outright.

I asked what it was I've been accused of, and whether they had an issue with my communications, my content, or something about my conduct in person. (I've always tried to be professional as I know what kind of reputation the glamour industry has) obviously I'd want to refute anything that's untrue or submit evidence if needed, but they refuse to communicate, and all I get back is single line none-responses.

If I sound disgruntled, I am! I couldn't be any less gruntled if I tried!

They've sent an automated message to everyone I've corresponded or worked with informing them that I've been removed from the site and my former portfolio page now "strongly suggests" not to work with me!

As they seem perfectly happy to attempt to mischaracterize me as something I'm not, with no investigation, no facts, no evidence, and no apparent reason, I'm perfectly happy to portray them as something they are:

A decent selection of some really great models, a few hugely talented photographers, and a whole bunch of creepy unprofessional idiots, not least the muppets that run the place.

Good luck if you use it. It's one of the largest modeling / portfolio sites out there, but their unprofessionalism has me looking forward to their inevitable successor.

I used PurplePort as a means to gain some portfolio images, but, it's image has been tarnished by certain individuals, and the fact that, after my request, that an offensive article won't be removed, because it wasn't deemed offensive. Maybe not by those not of that minority group, but certainly the abusive language following up as multiple members found a means to vent their anger at this particular minority group.

The article, was mean't as an April Fools joke, but if very, very bad taste, mocking a particular religion. Further posts by the original auther, and others who commented, grew more and more foul in their language used.
Despite my efforts by writing a comment to end the article, it was met by hostility. Told by the author not to question their freedom of speech and that I've no right to comment.

Here's my comment;
"Can we please have respect and end this article.
April the 1st was two days ago now"

Of course, I reported this to the website admin, but they couldn't find fault with the article, despite me stating how prejudice the article was and how such an inclusive industry as performing arts can allow this.

I since wrote an article myself, not against the offending article, nor it's author directly, but demonstrating how we, in the 21st centry, have been working hard at tolerance to others, no matter their gender, ethnicity, language, disability and religion/belief.
This article was locked, because "it was a statement".
So you see, there still are intolerances, but anyone who questions it will be given a hard time and the offender is let off. And this is a repeated story.
How can society change for the better?

The best site by far for photographers and models, I am both, I have been on the site for five years and had exceptional service and worked with many photographers and models to produce many scintillating images,

This is the site to be part of for all photographers and models of all levels, to be able to net work, learn and be part of the photographic community. Highly recommended by me.

Great site and great community allowing you to gain valuable feedback from others with the same interest
