Not sure how or why, but I created an account to start taking my photography and post photo editing hobby a bit more seriously. And I find after a couple of weeks away I am banned as I am a fake account? Tried to resolve it and find it is absolute... despite going through their induction verification, they deemed me a fake...
I see now what other reviews are saying, they have their favourites and unless you are female and prepared to be naked, they dont want you.
Avoid at all costs!
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.
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
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
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,
PurplePort is the first place I go to look for models and studios to suit my projects.
Some of the best in the business are here.
People post events and tours regularly which is great for finding new people to work with too.
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 joined this site almost 3 years ago and I have nothing but praise for it as I have never had any problems. I have met some amazing models, photographers and worked in some fabulous studios. Highly recommended
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.
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
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.
PurplePort is an extremely comprehensive resource guide for amateurs and professionals in the photographic and modelling industry offering valuable networking opportunities.
I find this good networking site with the forums, competitions etc.
I've not had any issues with models and simply select based on references.
As I'm just starting out I've not had any issues people on the site readily give advice if requested, If you don't like NSFW just leave filters on. I've never turned them off as I just want to normal type shoots.
From what I see if people get banned generally they've posted or done something wrong such as pushed levels.

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.
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.
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.
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.
I use both PP and Model Mayhem. If anything PP is easier to use and I certainly get many requests for photoshoots. It is mainly UK and Europe based so might not particularly suit US based people. I am based in UK and Asia and get most shoots in UK through PP and MM for Asia. Very useful for me.
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.
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
