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 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

I've been with Purpleport for many years now and I'm still addicted to it. I've met and shot with so many models - professional and amateur. A great site both for networking and for inspiration.

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

Scam
July 15, 2021

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!

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

A joke
March 7, 2021

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.

One of the best
December 20, 2020

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.

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.

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 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.

The titanic
April 29, 2020

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.

Very easy to use
January 22, 2020

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.
