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 […]

The image below, of the Colony Hotel on Ocean Drive, was shot for an article on Miami travel, featured in the Jan./Feb. issue of AAA Living Magazine.

Jack Dorsey wants to Square Up & I want to Catch Up

December 14, 2012 by Sonya Revell

Since I’m playing catch up with my blog, I’m going way back in the archives for this post. This is an assignment I shot for SQUARE back when I was still living in the Bay area. Square, started by Jack Dorsey, (who is better known as the founder of Twitter) is an awesome mobile payment service which utilizes a credit card reader that plugs into your smart phone or tablet…it allows small businesses (like me) or individuals to accept mobile […]

The Watcher in the Woods

February 5, 2011 by Sonya Revell

So lately I’ve been trying to reference more of my childhood influences in my work. And oddly enough, I’m beginning to realize just how much I was influenced by a hand-full of scary children’s movies released in the early 80’s.The two that top the list are Something Wicked This Way Comes, based on the novel by Ray Bradbury and The Watcher in the Woods, staring an older Betty Davis and Kyle Richards (Paris Hilton’s aunt). I’ve asked around to see […]

Editing Your Own Work for a Portfolio Can be Tricky….and I Need Help!

August 11, 2010 by Sonya Revell

I often develop an emotional attachment to certain images, while growing tired of others after staring at them for so long. I also sometimes have trouble connecting the dots and creating a cohesive flow from one image to the next, especially in a printed portfolio. I’ve gotten some great advice and help with editing already (which is how I got this far) but its still not quite finished. So since I need to stop procrastinating and get this new version […]
