South Beach/Travel for AAA Living Magazine

January 24, 2013 by Sonya Revell

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. Below are some additional Miami/travel shots that were also being considered for the article. I had a great time shooting in Little Havana’s famed ‘Domino Park’ on Calle Ocho, where I encountered some very colorful characters. Lincoln Road Maximo Gomez ‘Domino’ Park in Little Havana Maximo Gomez ‘Domino’ Park in Little Havana Maximo […]

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 […]

Playing Catch Up

December 14, 2012 by Sonya Revell

After a looong break from this blogging thing, I’ve decided to re-visit it. A lot has happened since my last blog entry…for one, I moved all the way across the country from Oakland, CA back to Miami, FL (where I lived previously from 2003-2006). I’m still traveling to CA frequently, in fact I’ll be there at the end of December for a shoot, but I’m now calling Miami home. And speaking of moving/travel… I love maps…I like to look at […]

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 […]

White Christmas in the Bluegrass

February 3, 2011 by Sonya Revell

How many people can say that they grew up on a Christmas tree farm? Taylor Swift and Me. That might be it. Okay, okay, I’m sure it’s not that rare and I didn’t really grow up there. I did, however, spend a lot of time running and playing, building fires and roasting marshmallows, learning the names of all the flowers and trees, and creating amazing memories on my Grandparent’s 265 acre farm in Wolf Creek, Kentucky. Back in December, I […]

Lions, Tigers, Performance Artists, OH MY!

October 13, 2010 by Sonya Revell

So I’ve been slacking (more than a little) on this whole blog thing. Therefore I’ll be playing catch up over the next couple of days. Below is my tear sheet from Issue #21 of JPEG Magazine, which came out a few months ago. I made this image back when I lived in Miami and get asked about it often. No, that is not a statue. It is, indeed, a monster of a performance artist. The story of how this image […]

Who will be the next Mayor of Oakland?

October 13, 2010 by Sonya Revell

I hadn’t been paying very close attention to the local election campaigns until a couple of weeks ago, when I had the opportunity to photograph Oakland Mayoral candidates for the cover of the East Bay Express. The issue is on news stands now and the cover features front runners, Rebecca Kaplan, Joe Tuman, Jean Quan, and Don Perata. I photographed city councilwoman and fellow Virgo, Rebecca Kaplan, at her 40th birthday party down in Jack London Square. It was definitely […]
