Hi I'm new to purpleport port and just wondered how long it's took some of you models and photographers to get one of your photos on front page images

Thanks

There is no set time, upload an awesome image and it could make fpi this week or it could be 2 years or more before it gains fpi status, if it gains it at all.

My 1st one took just over one year.  My 2nd one was 4 months later.

My 3rd one?  I am not bothered.

It's just 'kudos', it does not mean that suddenly people are banging on your front door, all desperate to offer you payed work.

I've been here years and I've never had one.

Some days I assume it's because my work's crap, other days I assume it's because the judges have no taste :)

I think its in part to how social you are and how much traffic you drive to your pictures. You could be the worlds greatest photographer but if no one ever see's your pictures no one will ever know.

But I've had one FPI and I still sum that up to the model helping drive traffic to my portfolio. I'm not really too bothered if I get them though as my pictures are mainly for me and the models and if anyone else likes them its a happy side effect.

I eventually received the first  after being here for a year or so. Whilst I am extraordinarily grateful to the photographers who made this possible , I never think about FPI's when I choose to shoot - it is enough if the photographer and I are happy with what we have created .
