Portrait of Jan Verleur | Forbes

April 11, 2017 by Sonya Revell

I’m not a fan of cigarette smoke. For me, a mere whiff typically means an instant headache and nausea. My mom smoked when I was young. (She’s going to love me for outing her like this.) I would often wait until she wasn’t paying attention and stamp out her resting lit cigarette. I was such a brat. So when Forbes called me to make a portrait of Jan Verleur, CEO of the e-cigarette company, VMR, I mentally prepared for a […]

Portraits of Alan Faena for Forbes

July 8, 2016 by Sonya Revell

After an amazing work/sight-seeing trip to Europe (more on that to come) it’s time to play catch-up with my blog…. I’m really excited to share this editorial shoot with Alan Faena, at the Faena Hotel, on Miami Beach, which was commissioned by Forbes back in April. Alan is an Argentine hotelier and real estate developer, not to mention quite the snazzy dresser. (If you do a Google search for him, as I did in preparation for the shoot, you’ll see that […]

Portrait of Lou Mosca and George Cloutier, of American Management Services, Forbes Magazine

Portrait Photography for Forbes Magazine

March 17, 2016 by Sonya Revell

I met up with George Cloutier and Lou Mosca, of American Management Services, at George’s home office in Palm Beach, FL. I had been commissioned by Forbes to make a portrait of Lou and George just after Christmas. Since the house was decorated for the holidays, we opted to shoot in the outdoor space overlooking the ocean…not bad. The only caveat to shooting outside, was having mother nature cooperate. Within a matter of minutes the weather shifted from bright sun to […]

Wayne Chaplin of Southern Wine & Spirits for Forbes Life Magazine

July 25, 2013 by Sonya Revell

Back in April I was asked to photograph Wayne Chaplin, President and COO of Southern Wine & Spirits for Forbes Life magazine. The editor at Forbes was looking for a shot with a lifestyle-y feel. With this information in mind, I picked a spot on the FIU campus, just outside of the new School of Hospitality & Tourism- A brand new building bearing Chaplin’s name. The finishing touches were just being applied inside the large building, which was funded largely […]

Michael Dezer and his Car Collection for Forbes Life Magazine

May 19, 2013 by Sonya Revell

It may not be obvious by looking at me, but I sort of fancy myself a race car driver- that is to say that I not only like to drive, but like to drive really fast. (Just an irrelevant fact I thought I’d share since I’ll be talking about cars.) Okay, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, I can get to the real point of this post- photographing the real estate billionaire, turned car collector, Michael Dezer […]
