The French Horn – Conceptual Portraits

May 13, 2015 by Sonya Revell

Stagnation sucks.  As a commercial photographer, I find it so important to continually challenge myself by evolving my style and technique.  The best way that I’ve found to keep stagnation from setting in, is to work on personal photography projects as often as I can. For my latest self-assignment, I wanted to create a conceptual portrait within a nightscape.  Since I love photographing performers, I approached the amazingly talented gypsy/jazz band, The French Horn, about collaborating.  They were open to […]

Dot 51 Gallery for Luxe Interiors + Design

April 17, 2015 by Sonya Revell

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the most recent issue of Luxe Interiors + Design, as it includes a fun photography spread we shot at Dot 51 Gallery, in the Wynwood arts district of Miami.  Alfredo Guzman and Isaac Perelman, the owners/curators of Dot 51 were extremely welcoming and easy to photograph.  We had a great time working on this all-encompassing shoot, which incorporated everything from the gallery space featuring the art, to portraits of Guzman and Perelman, to the […]

Attorney Portraits for American Bar Association Journal

March 23, 2015 by Sonya Revell

I regularly photograph portrait assignments for the ABA Journal.  With many of these assignments, the challenge is to create an interesting environmental portrait, within an environment that isn’t always so interesting looking (read law office).  This, however, is not to say that the subjects themselves are uninteresting- they can actually be pretty fascinating. Take University of Miami law professor, Mary Anne Franks for example. When she’s not duking it out over anti-cyberbullying and ‘revenge porn’ laws, she’s kicking butt as an expert practitioner […]

Cover Shoot for Where to Retire Magazine – Lifestyle Portraits

January 11, 2015 by Sonya Revell

When I got the email from the photo editor at Where to Retire magazine, to shoot their feature story on Delray Beach, I really hadn’t spent much time in the ocean-front town just north of Fort Lauderdale.  Since I wasn’t too familiar, I decided to drive up and do some pre-shoot scouting.  Upon arrival in Delray Beach, I was quite struck by just how charming and photogenic the town really is.  I was also looking forward to meeting my subject, Joanne Sinchuk, […]

Hello 2015, Goodbye 2014!

January 7, 2015 by Sonya Revell

Happy 2015! In looking back at 2014, I’m happy to share a selection of my favorite images from the year… In 2014, I got the chance to work with some amazing new clients: PayPal, Keller-Williams Realty, Luxe. Interiors + Design, Inked Magazine, Calik Denim, Prevention Magazine, Northwestern University/Kellogg School of Management, GX Magazine, and University of Minnesota, just to name a few. And while it’s nice to see how far I’ve come in the past year (because sometimes I forget), it’s […]

Portrait of Peter Gary of Pinnacle Advertising for Adweek

November 13, 2014 by Sonya Revell

My first step with any editorial portrait assignment is always research.  I look for pictures of the subject, try to read up on his/her background and if I’m shooting in/around the subject’s office (or a location I’ve never been to), I try to scope that out as well. When Adweek approached me to photograph Peter Gary, CEO of Pinnacle Advertising in Boca Raton, I went right to Google.  Between visits to Pinnacle’s website and google images, I concluded that the agency had […]

Essentia Spa Shoot at the Delano Hotel

October 23, 2014 by Sonya Revell

If I had to name my favorite hotel on South Beach, it would probably be the Delano. I still remember my first trip to the iconic hotel as a spry 22-year-old, straight out of Kentucky.  At that time, the Delano, with its promise of glamour, adventure and an unforeseen trip down the rabbit hole (thanks to Philippe Starck’s designs), really embodied for me the larger enigmatic quality of Miami (in general). So when I was approached by Travelzoo to photograph Club […]

Portrait of Jack Brewer for Minnesota Magazine

October 7, 2014 by Sonya Revell

I hate to admit it, but even with a high-profile subject, if a person’s camp is particularly hard to get in touch with (i.e doesn’t return calls/emails, despite previously agreeing to a photo shoot) I get frustrated and start to make assumptions about the subject’s character.  Of course this is partially due to the fact that I never want my client to think that I’m not on the ball. That said, scheduling my shoot for Minnesota Magazine, with former NFL […]

Portrait of Lt. Colonel Ricardo Roig for GX Magazine

September 4, 2014 by Sonya Revell

Straight out of the gate, my shoot for GX Magazine presented a interesting challenge; while the shoot would  take place in South Florida, the images needed to look as if they could have been taken in Iraq.  (Hummm!?)   Thankfully Lieutenant Colonel Ricardo Roig, the main subject I would be photographing, was on it.  He proposed that the shoot take place at the West Palm Beach Armory, where he oversees the weaponry and equipment.  With its gravel parking lot, tree-less […]
