portB: A visual content portfolio of fashion and beauty brands shot by Brandi Stroud.

Through travel, founder Brandi Stroud realized her strongest inspiration to create is influenced by the beauty and power of water. Brandi noticed being drawn to port cities around the world and as a Baltimore native (port city), and currently a Los Angeles resident, she formed portB. Through finding and connecting to her inspiration, Brandi works with brands to find their authentic connection to their values, inspirations, and customers through imagery and storytelling.

portB also invites partnerships with non-profits and philanthropic fashion brands (or “Give Back Brands”) for projects that use fashion for a good cause.

“A “port” in every sense of the word relates to connections, communication, and collaboration. To create, is to connect–and we all need to tap into what inspires us to create. Connections fuel creativity.” - Brandi
