Teresa Weintraub | BC Law Alumni

September 7, 2019 by Sonya Revell

Teresa Weintraub—international wealth advisor, mother, Cuban expat, Miami resident, and much more—has a full life, to say the least. And back in May, I had the opportunity to photograph this busy Boston College Law Alum at her home in Coral Gables. Mrs. Weintraub is an inspiring figure who has overcome the odds not just to survive, but to flourish. Her family fled Cuba and lost a considerable amount of wealth in the process, settling as one of the many […]

Synovus Bank | Advertising Portraits

July 11, 2019 by Sonya Revell

A few months back I was invited to collaborate with Fitzco, an Atlanta-based ad agency, to photograph a regional advertising campaign for Synovus bank. For this project, my team and I got to hop is a big blue cargo van and take a little road trip around South and Central Florida, during which, we photographed seven Synovus bankers, in six cities, over six days. Since Synovus’s slogan is “The Bank of Here” the goal was to make environmental portraits of these […]

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 […]

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 […]

Advertising Portraits | Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center

May 15, 2017 by Sonya Revell

I’m excited to share the second leg of the advertising campaign I photographed for Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center a while back. Talk about a dream job! I worked with M&C Saatchi LA to produce eight portraits of talent, at various ‘unique to South Florida’ locations, which ranged all the way from Hollywood to Coral Gables. We shot all eight portraits over two days, allowing only about two hours per location. I really enjoyed scouting for the perfect background in each […]

At Home with Zak the Baker | The Kitchn

March 23, 2017 by Sonya Revell

For my first assignment with The Kitchn, I took a little drive over the causeway to the beach town of Surfside. Once there, I met up with my writer/friend, Jesse (who also happened to put me up for the assignment). We were welcomed into the home of Zak Stern and Batsheva Wulfsohn- the couple behind the wildly popular Miami destination, Zak the Baker- a kosher bakery/cafe located in the Wynwood arts district. Jesse and I were there to capture how the […]

Editorial Tech/Corporate Portrait

February 19, 2017 by Sonya Revell

One of the many things I love about being a photographer is gaining access to interesting places I wouldn’t normally gain access to- the rooftop of the Miami International Airport, for example. This was the location for my portrait photo shoot with Maurice Jenkins, the director of information technology & telecommunications at MIA. I was commissioned to photograph Jenkins for PM Network Magazine and boy was I was thrilled to score such a cool location! Here are the images featured […]

Portrait of Meg Daly, founder and friend of the Underline

January 3, 2017 by Sonya Revell

Upon moving to Miami (for the first time) in 2003, I was bewildered as to how such a large city could have so few parks (and green space in general). I would complain about this to just about anyone that would listen. After all, the much smaller city I had come from, Louisville, KY, has a park system designed by the legendary landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted (designer of numerous city parks including, Central Park and Golden Gate Park). 13 […]

Senior Lifestyle Portraits for Vi Living

December 7, 2016 by Sonya Revell

My great-grandmother lived to be nearly 102 years old and she was one of my first portrait photography subjects. She could recount stories from five generations! Her stories were fascinating and so was she. Maybe it’s because of her that I have such an affinity for those that are older and wiser than I. And it’s no secret that South Florida is a mecca for retirees and seniors seeking year-round sunshine. So when the marketing manager of Vi Living, a […]

New Advertising Campaign Photography for UM Health System/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, in Collaboration with M&C Saatchi

October 11, 2016 by Sonya Revell

Earlier this summer, (while in Italy actually) I got the email from M&C Saatchi that I’d been waiting for- confirming that we’d be moving forward and photographing the new advertising campaign for the University of Miami Health System/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center. I immediately got in touch with my producer, Spike Molina, who had been waiting for the green light, while also in Europe. We both hopped on planes and headed back to Florida to kick off the production. Spike and […]
