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 […]

Aldous Bertram | Luxe Style-Maker

November 9, 2017 by Sonya Revell

After a busy summer, (than included dealing with a little hurricane named Irma) I’m finally getting back to the blog! As a regular contributor to Luxe Interiors + Design magazine, I have the good fortune of getting to meet and photograph many talented and interesting artists, designers and curators from Miami to Palm Beach.  That said, I especially love how this recent style-makers spread, of artist/interior designer, Aldous Bertram turned out. For this shoot, we headed up North to photograph […]

Portrait of an Artisan and his Studio

February 13, 2016 by Sonya Revell

Over the past two years, I’ve photographed many artists, designers and craftspersons, from Miami to Palm Beach, for Luxe Interiors + Design magazine.  Some of the studio spaces and materials are especially inspiring.  And some of the people I’m tasked with making portraits of are especially inspiring.  This assignment happened to encompass both. Dan Droney is a ceramic tile artist based in West Palm Beach, FL.  He is not only talented at his craft, but is also one of the […]

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, […]

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 […]

Conceptual Portraits of Boston Red Sox player, Mike Napoli, for Inked Magazine

April 16, 2014 by Sonya Revell

On my recent Inked magazine shoot with Boston Red Sox first baseman, Mike Napoli, I learned two very important things, #1.  Napoli’s beer(s) of choice is Modelo (and/or Bud Light) and #2.  Wearing a beard just may have been the key to winning the 2013 World Series. Mike was kind enough to invite us to his home for the shoot, where we proceeded to set up camp in his back yard.  He was a great sport (pun intended) when it […]

Organic Gardening Magazine, Portrait of Andres Mejides in Homestead, FL

January 18, 2014 by Sonya Revell

Top reasons my shoot with Organic Gardening Magazine test gardener, Andres Mejides, was one of my favorites of 2013 (in no particular order), As a nearly life-long vegetarian, I have really come to appreciate organically grown produce  (don’t panic, it’s organic) I’d rather be outdoors than in and jump at the chance to shoot outside Growing up in Kentucky, everyone I knew had some sort of garden and in the fourth grade (before discovering photography) I decided I wanted to […]

Vintage, Horses, Blonds…OH MY!

December 2, 2013 by Sonya Revell

I grew up in Kentucky.  So like it or not, horse culture is sort of in my blood.  Like a good Kentuckian, I took horse-back riding lessons in the second grade and I make the annual trip home every Derby.  (Although, funny enough, I’ve never actually attended the Derby.  I, instead, go to the Oaks- more of a local tradition.)  And I never miss out on a piece of Derby pie.  So when I was approached to make some portraits […]

Leslie Bradshaw for Cosmopolitan Magazine

November 19, 2013 by Sonya Revell

I had the pleasure of photographing Guide COO, Leslie Bradshaw, for the November Issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine.  Leslie is part of a “Lean In” group, in which her former female colleagues (all of whom are spread across the globe) meet via video conference, once a week, to chat about business and get feedback related to issues they may be experiencing.  To maintain authenticity, we actually set up the photo shoot to take place during one such meeting.  Although I tried […]

A Portrait of Maria Mejia for POZ Magazine

October 11, 2013 by Sonya Revell

One of the many things I love about making portraits, is getting to help relay the diverse stories of so many interesting people.  Maria Mejia, the subject of my POZ Magazine shoot, definitely has a striking story to tell.  Diagnosed with HIV at the age of 18, she chose not to retreat from life, but rather to stand strong, educate herself, and share her story honestly.   Armed with courage, a great deal of knowledge and empathy, she is able […]
