Style-Makers Portraits | Luxe Magazine

April 4, 2019 by Sonya Revell

For the past four years or so I’ve had the great pleasure of being a regular contributing photographer to Luxe Interiors + Design Magazine.  The section that I regularly photograph is called ‘Style-Makers’.  The article features a 4-6 page spread, highlighting the work of a local artist, designer, gallerist, or artisan.  The assignment always includes capturing an environmental portrait of the subject, along with reportage-style coverage of their studio, artistic process, and materials.   Recently, I was interviewed by Wonderful Machine […]

First Photo Shoot of 2019

January 14, 2019 by Sonya Revell

Within the first week of each year, I like to kick things off by photographing a self-assigned photo shoot for my portfolio.  For 2019, I was finally able to pull together a photo shoot that I’ve been wanting to do for several years now. A while back I dreamt up the idea of photographing a story of a 1960s housewife.  Since I live in a mid-century modern condo building in Miami, I didn’t have to look far for the ideal […]

Portrait of Mia Nygren | Billboard Magazine

January 3, 2019 by Sonya Revell

Have you ever had one of those moments when you realize you’re living out a childhood fantasy?    As a music fan, this assignment was one of those for me.  In fact, if someone had told my 16-year-old self that I would photograph for Billboard Magazine, I would probably have fainted from excitement.  So when the photo editor from Billboard reached out about a portrait assignment, I was pretty elated.  My subject: Mia Nygren, managing director of Latin America for […]

GoFundMe Heroes Campaign

November 18, 2018 by Sonya Revell

For the GoFundMe Heroes Campaign, I had the honor of photographing Luis Garcia, a retired paramedic, and firefighter who spent $40K of his own savings on Narcan. While attending and documenting his class, which is free to the public, I learned a lot about this life-saving Nasal spray that can literally bring people back from the dead after an opioid overdose. (I even received my own dose, which I hope to never have to use.)  After Luis’ class, we had […]

Portraits of Phillip Estlund | Luxe

October 24, 2018 by Sonya Revell

A while back I drove up to West Palm Beach to photograph artist, Phillip Estlund, for his ‘style-makers’ spread in Luxe Interiors + Design magazine.  Phillip’s work is an interesting mix of furniture making-  including wood-working and decoupage, and collage artwork.  All of his work seems to have a fun, mid-century vibe, in which he often incorporates botanical images and illustrations, along with raw materials. I got to make some fun environmental portraits of Estlund at both his wood-working studio […]

Portrait of Billy Corben | Time Out Miami

September 4, 2018 by Sonya Revell

Whether you live in Miami or not, you’re probably familiar with the city’s storied, drug-fueled past of the late 1970’s and early 80’s (hello Miami Vice).  You may have even seen Cocaine Cowboys, a documentary film featuring first-hand accounts of the major drug trafficking and subsequent money laundering operations that took place in Miami during that time.  This happens to be one of my all-time favorite documentary films, so when I got the assignment to photograph the film’s director (and local Miamian), […]

Men’s Style | Welcome to the Jungle

July 21, 2018 by Sonya Revell

TESTING, TESTING, 1.2.3…. It is truly a great thing that I get paid to create photography.  But even if I didn’t- even if the whole ‘career’ thing never worked out, I’d definitely still be dressing people up and asking them to sit in front of my camera to have their picture taken.  But as with many other things, my enthusiasm for the work comes and goes, so it’s important that every now and then I plan a photo shoot that […]

portrait photography of artist Isabel Brinck painting in her studio

Portait of an Artist: Isabel Brinck | Luxe Magazine

May 9, 2018 by Sonya Revell

For my recent style-makers photo shoot for Luxe Interiors + Design, I got to spend some time with Chilean-Born, Miami-based artist, Isabel Brinck.  Isabel’s vivid paintings reveal a dream-like world full of bright colors and distorted shapes and figures.  The graphic elements in her paintings, along with her artfully arranged studio and materials, created the perfect environment for the reportage photography needed for the Luxe magazine spread.  And while Isabel’s studio was incredibly photogenic, she was even more so- which made […]

SB Architects | Portraits & Corporate Culture

April 2, 2018 by Sonya Revell

As a self-employed person, SB Architects is possibly the only office I’ve ever walked into and thought, I want to work here!  I didn’t know exactly what to expect upon taking the assignment to photograph portraits of SB’s principal architects and corporate culture, but I certainly didn’t expect to like the vibe so much! As a photographer, I’ve visited many businesses and offices in Florida.  But I must say that SB Architects fosters a culture that is pretty unlike any of the other businesses I’ve seen in Miami.  Their Coral Gables office feels dynamic, creative and collaborative, […]

portrait photography of Naeem Khan

Portrait of Naeem Khan | Wine Spectator

February 6, 2018 by Sonya Revell

A few months back, I was invited to the Miami pied-a-terre of renowned fashion designer, Naeem Khan, for a photo shoot with Wine Spectator magazine.  (You can see the article here, http://www.winespectator.com/webfeature/show/id/Wine-Design-Fashion-Mogul-Naeem-Khan)  I didn’t have to travel far, as Khan’s penthouse apartment is located just a mile from my condo.  (Of course, his home and my home are a world apart in terms of scale and furnishings. 😉 Khan is known for his colorful and ornate designs, that have attracted the likes of […]
