Very clicky. Same small group of people get fpis cos of favouritism. Happy to take your money but suspend your account if you make a simple, genuine mistake. Customer service is absolutely appalling,... See more

Purpleport is an excellent way to connect Photographers and Models. I have been a member for 11 years and find it an excellent point of contact with models who want to work. I always pay models there... See more

Average site of its type, with little competition. Main problems are lack of active members, whatever the "headline" claims of membership. Many models have "rarely replies" "last logged in 2 years ago... See more

I've been using the site as a model on & off for 6 years now. I've had some great success on there, my only gripe is people being pushy thinking I won't stick to boundaries I clearly state on my profi... See more

Purple Port Modelling Site

This modelling site, I find to one of the best around, the models are real and all those I have worked with from this site are very good. The site is easy to use and information is normally up-to-date.

Inspiration

A great site for looking at others photographic images to find new inspiration and to engage in discussions and some forums. I have attended some useful workshops through the site. I make most of my model bookings through the site and there is a wide selection of models to choose from.

Highly recommended!

PurplePort is a very handy tool for photographers to connect with models and make-up artists. You can read references about the models, register for castings and build a nice portfolio through which models can see your artistic talent. Definitely recommended for every photographer, model, make-up artist etc.

My Photographic Home

A great place that I love to call my photographic home. I can easily work between my studio & personal portfolio's. Book models with confidence as I can keep on#line records and conversations in one place. Really is great safe place to work from.

I have been on PurplePort for almost 10…

I have been on PurplePort for almost 10 years. It is one of the best model-photographer sites in the world. They take care to ban the sleazy people who cause un-safe practices and nurture new models. I am on other sites but this, for UK photographers and models is by far the best.

The best online resource for create image makers

A fantastic site for anyone wanting to create eye catching imagery predominantly in the portrait genre. With in depth portfolios, references and a strong emphasis on model safety, this site is the best online resource for Photographers, Models, Mua's, Stylists, Photoshop Wizards and Tutors.

Banned for having an account

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 don't want you.

Avoid at all costs!

A professional and comprehensive website

Purpleport is by far the best models, photographers and studios site around. The whole site is well-designed and there is a lively PP community. The site has a very professional air about it. Site design is not quite perfect: one constant problem is the ability to put links to photos and maps in messages but that's a fairly small irritation. Overall, as a photographer, I recommend this site as the go to site for models and studios.

A professional view

I am a full time professional photographer and have been with Purple Port (as Designer Photography) for ten years.
It is my go to site, with some of the best models and photographers you can find. One or two undesirables seem to crop up from time to time but admin works consistently hard to keep them off.
The site is comprehensive, with features and with what it is able to do but perhaps one or two might find it a little daunting when starting out. However there is a lot of support available from both the site and its members.
I have no hesitation in recommending this site to both models and photographers.

Many Years

I have shown my work on PurplePort for many years now and paid to be able to display an unlimited number of my photographs. The general quality of all contributors is very high, so feedback helps me to monitor my own standards. I have, on occasion, found excellent models through PP for my projects, especially volunteers for my 'Liberated Ladies' book.

My favourite photography site

Of all the photography sites PurplePort is my favourite. I have been with them now for a few years and I have found it to be a really friendly community of a wide range of creatives, who are keen to work together and create beautiful artistic images. The support system is really helpful and encouraging. It is one of the best ways I have found to explore and develop my creativity and improve my skill set and art. There are many features that i still have not used, but I look forward to making use of these in future months. I missed this community so much in the Lockdown and I'm really glad to get back to interacting with people and shooting again. Thanks PurplePort.
