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 […]

portrait photography of artist Isabel Brinck painting in her studio

Portait of an Artist: Isabel Brinck | Luxe Magazine

May 9, 2018 by Sonya Revell

For my recent style-makers photo shoot for Luxe Interiors + Design, I got to spend some time with Chilean-Born, Miami-based artist, Isabel Brinck. Isabel’s vivid paintings reveal a dream-like world full of bright colors and distorted shapes and figures. The graphic elements in her paintings, along with her artfully arranged studio and materials, created the perfect environment for the reportage photography needed for the Luxe magazine spread. And while Isabel’s studio was incredibly photogenic, she was even more so- which made […]

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 […]

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.

Dot 51 Gallery for Luxe Interiors + Design

April 17, 2015 by Sonya Revell

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the most recent issue of Luxe Interiors + Design, as it includes a fun photography spread we shot at Dot 51 Gallery, in the Wynwood arts district of Miami. Alfredo Guzman and Isaac Perelman, the owners/curators of Dot 51 were extremely welcoming and easy to photograph. We had a great time working on this all-encompassing shoot, which incorporated everything from the gallery space featuring the art, to portraits of Guzman and Perelman, to 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 Jack Brewer for Minnesota Magazine

October 7, 2014 by Sonya Revell

I hate to admit it, but even with a high-profile subject, if a person’s camp is particularly hard to get in touch with (i.e doesn’t return calls/emails, despite previously agreeing to a photo shoot) I get frustrated and start to make assumptions about the subject’s character. Of course this is partially due to the fact that I never want my client to think that I’m not on the ball. That said, scheduling my shoot for Minnesota Magazine, with former NFL […]
