A Portrait of Granada Presbyterian for ByFaith Magazine

August 25, 2016 by Sonya Revell

A while back, I got a fun commission from ByFaith magazine, to create portraits of the congregation at Granada Presbyterian Church, for their cover story on diversity.  My assistant, Dragi and I set up a make-shift studio inside Granada’s sanctuary, in Coral Gables, FL and with some help, gathered and photographed as many members as we could over the course of one day.  Everyone at Granada was incredibly welcoming and it was wonderful to meet so many families and individuals, […]

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 Alexander Krivoshiew for Luxe Interiors + Design

April 10, 2016 by Sonya Revell

As an editorial photographer, often times I photograph a story or a profile that I’m really excited to share, but then rather than putting it out into the world right away, I have to wait…for months…until it’s published.  That was the case with metal sculpture artist, Alexander Krivoshiew’s profile for the current issue of Luxe Interiors + Design.  And to add to my excitement even more, the photo editor informed me that rather than running it as the usual four […]

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 […]

New Lifestyle Photography for a New Year

February 3, 2016 by Sonya Revell

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions.  I do, however, like to kick off each new year with a portfolio shoot (which superstition dictates must be completed within the first week of January). Unfortunately here in Miami, 2016 started off with lots and lots of rain.  So while my inspiration was telling me to do a lifestyle shoot at the beach, El Niño seemed to be laughing in my face. Thankfully Laura, my styling cohort and I kept a close […]

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, […]

Essentia Spa Shoot at the Delano Hotel

October 23, 2014 by Sonya Revell

If I had to name my favorite hotel on South Beach, it would probably be the Delano. I still remember my first trip to the iconic hotel as a spry 22-year-old, straight out of Kentucky.  At that time, the Delano, with its promise of glamour, adventure and an unforeseen trip down the rabbit hole (thanks to Philippe Starck’s designs), really embodied for me the larger enigmatic quality of Miami (in general). So when I was approached by Travelzoo to photograph Club […]

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 […]

Portrait of Lt. Colonel Ricardo Roig for GX Magazine

September 4, 2014 by Sonya Revell

Straight out of the gate, my shoot for GX Magazine presented a interesting challenge; while the shoot would  take place in South Florida, the images needed to look as if they could have been taken in Iraq.  (Hummm!?)   Thankfully Lieutenant Colonel Ricardo Roig, the main subject I would be photographing, was on it.  He proposed that the shoot take place at the West Palm Beach Armory, where he oversees the weaponry and equipment.  With its gravel parking lot, tree-less […]
