Queef Latina Stars in Cabana Fever

January 27, 2020 by Sonya Revell

  Last year we met our bored housewife for the first time, but the story continues… A weary drag housewife, bored by the repetitive nature of her daily tasks, seeks more beauty and excitement in her life.  As she takes her latest drag creation out for a stroll, she gets the call she’s been waiting for! She packs her bags and calls the nanny to look after her drag children while she’s gone. She dyes her hair dark and buys […]

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 […]

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 […]

Conceptual Photography for Walmart World

May 24, 2015 by Sonya Revell

In celebration of Memorial Day, I thought I’d share this conceptual portrait photography assignment I shot last year for Walmart World.  For this shoot, I had the pleasure of working with retired Navy veteran, Ricardo Pinolay, along with his lovely wife and daughter.  Pinolay currently works as the Walmart sporting goods and auto department manager here in Miami and was a complete natural in front of the camera.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
