Great Site .. Well Presented ...The only place to meet New People to work with..
As a Photographer its the only place I show off my Work ...

I have successfully worked with creatives using this site. I find the blog posts relevant and engaging. The site is user-friendly, and promotes content creation. I enjoy viewing the inspirational front page images feature on the homepage to spark creativity.

I run an established and reputable fetish photography site that's been in operation for over 10 years.

After several years of paid membership and 100+ photo shoots, the PurplePort Admin team banned my account without warning.

There was no indication of anything untoward, and nothing but good reviews from everyone I'd worked with up until the day my account was indefinitely suspended.

When I asked their support team if there'd been some mistake their responses were short and baffling. "Too many reports" they said.

Apparently *one* report must be too many, because at no point was I notified of any complaints whatsoever.

When I asked what I'm alleged to have done, they cited confidentiality and wouldn't tell me.

When I asked if the report came from someone I'd actually worked with, they wouldn't tell me.

When I asked what investigation they did to verify if there was any truth behind the report, they wouldn't tell me.

When I asked what safeguards they had in place to prevent trolls and bad actors from making false reports they wouldn't tell me.

After a dozen emails, they FINALLY admitted that my use of the none-sexual term "Point of View" (to describe a closeup camera flyover) had been taken to mean a request for "sexual services"

Needless to say I have NEVER solicited sexual services through their site and have always strived to be as professional and courteous as possible as I hoped my 100% positive references would attest.

They refused to investigate any further or verify with any of the models I've worked with that I try to create as safe and professional environment as possible, so needless to say it's left a bit of a bitter taste in my mouth regarding the way the site is run.

In many respects it's a great site. However it's run by a clique of 1 star muppets who'll ignore reports about the site founders, and unfortunately a number of model friends have also mentioned that complaints made against those who run the site fall on deaf ears or have lead to their own accounts being banned.

Also whilst they allow models and photographers to advertise for "adult" photoshoots, occasionally you'll be banned for discussing it, even if your conversations are entirely professional and their reasons for doing so appear to be poorly defined and arbitrary.

The fact they'll ban you without warning for inconsistent reasons and then refuse to investigate when you've worked for multiple years to maintain as professional a working relationship as possible is highly annoying.

Use MadCowModels or AdultFolio instead.

I've been on Purpleport for some seven years now and it has been a very worthwhile seven years. It's great to get the casting calls of foreign models coming to Holland, and they have resulted in many great shoots. Also, posting on the site is easy and worthwhile as platform for models that can see what kind of pictures I make before deciding if they want to work with me

I have been a member of purpleport for over a year and I love it my subscription pays for itself and my modelling has really taken off since its now my full time job. I have met the best photographers and other creatives and would highly recommend this site to anyone

I am a photographer and student from Wolverhampton uni and been doing photography over 2 years, found purple port to be great for help and advice and even helping to report urgent matters to them they have been amazing, I will continue to use purpleport as I feel safe and also I can check reviews on models and feel this is great platform for photographers and models

I’ve been member on Purple Port for over 6 years now, it’s an excellent modern easy to use website. Purple Port is the place go if you’re looking for talented models, MUAs, studios and other creatives. I have used many other portfolio hosting sites, and without doubt purple port is the best by far.

This is a fab site for photographers and models of all levels to net work and meet other creatives.
highly recommended by me.

Purpleport is an interesting environment, value for money and a safe place in these troubled times.

When I joined purpleport I was just starting out as a model.I find it great for displaying your photos and meeting other models and photographers. Also you can get ideas from others photos and a great way to make new friends.

I've been a member here pretty well since the start and I have to say, for me, this is the outstanding freelance industry site with its best feature being an awesomely accurate and very flexible member search which I have used to great effect over the years.

BTW please ignore the review below that is highly critical. He really does not understand the benefits of the site.

Seeking the perfect site for interacting with fellow creatives? Look no further than PurplePort. The help and support from peer groups is amazing, as is the access to local, national and international models, photographers, editors etc. 100% recommend - and it's free to give it a go!

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.

I am happy that I have a purpleport account. The price is reasonable and it has many features that are useful to me as a model. I met a lot of photographers in my area and arranged photo shoots using this platform. It is a good website if you want to meet other professionals. However, I am not giving them 5 starts because the interface is a bit confusing and it has a lot of room for improvement. Apart from that, it is a good platform.

I’ve been on many portfolio hosting sites including all the social media’s and purpleport is without doubt the most inclusive, intuitive and friendly site out of them all.

I love Purpleport . Been on there for a long time and it’s great xx

Found the site to be user friendly and a great choice of friendly models from novice to experienced. PP I have found to have the edge on other similar sites I have used.

PurplePort is an excellent site for models and creatives to meet, the site is well managed and constantly strives to improve and offers a superb sevice.

Until I joined Purpleport I would never have considered model photography. However Purpleport is more than a website it is a community who look out and support each other. Because of this community I have improved as a photographer, been published but most importantly meet like minded people and mase some good friends.
