portrait photography of NFL player, Brandon Copeland, with interview for Kiplinger's magazine

Brandon Copeland | Kiplinger’s Magazine

June 17, 2019 by Sonya Revell

I had the good fortune to photograph NFL New York Jets linebacker, Brandon Copeland, for Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine a while back. My assistant and I set up a makeshift studio inside Copeland’s training gym in Weston, Florida, where we made his portrait for this article. We chatted with the expectant father about his baby on the way, flipping houses in Detroit, and his thoughts on concussions (something I have personal experience with). He couldn’t have been nicer or more […]

Portrait of Mia Nygren | Billboard Magazine

January 3, 2019 by Sonya Revell

Have you ever had one of those moments when you realize you’re living out a childhood fantasy? As a music fan, this assignment was one of those for me. In fact, if someone had told my 16-year-old self that I would photograph for Billboard Magazine, I would probably have fainted from excitement. So when the photo editor from Billboard reached out about a portrait assignment, I was pretty elated. My subject: Mia Nygren, managing director of Latin America for […]

Portraits of Phillip Estlund | Luxe

October 24, 2018 by Sonya Revell

A while back I drove up to West Palm Beach to photograph artist, Phillip Estlund, for his ‘style-makers’ spread in Luxe Interiors + Design magazine. Phillip’s work is an interesting mix of furniture making- including wood-working and decoupage, and collage artwork. All of his work seems to have a fun, mid-century vibe, in which he often incorporates botanical images and illustrations, along with raw materials. I got to make some fun environmental portraits of Estlund at both his wood-working studio […]

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 […]

Aldous Bertram | Luxe Style-Maker

November 9, 2017 by Sonya Revell

After a busy summer, (than included dealing with a little hurricane named Irma) I’m finally getting back to the blog! As a regular contributor to Luxe Interiors + Design magazine, I have the good fortune of getting to meet and photograph many talented and interesting artists, designers and curators from Miami to Palm Beach. That said, I especially love how this recent style-makers spread, of artist/interior designer, Aldous Bertram turned out. For this shoot, we headed up North to photograph […]

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 […]

Editorial Tech/Corporate Portrait

February 19, 2017 by Sonya Revell

One of the many things I love about being a photographer is gaining access to interesting places I wouldn’t normally gain access to- the rooftop of the Miami International Airport, for example. This was the location for my portrait photo shoot with Maurice Jenkins, the director of information technology & telecommunications at MIA. I was commissioned to photograph Jenkins for PM Network Magazine and boy was I was thrilled to score such a cool location! Here are the images featured […]

Portrait of Meg Daly, founder and friend of the Underline

January 3, 2017 by Sonya Revell

Upon moving to Miami (for the first time) in 2003, I was bewildered as to how such a large city could have so few parks (and green space in general). I would complain about this to just about anyone that would listen. After all, the much smaller city I had come from, Louisville, KY, has a park system designed by the legendary landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted (designer of numerous city parks including, Central Park and Golden Gate Park). 13 […]

Preserving the Past in Palm Beach

September 24, 2015 by Sonya Revell

Note to self….Don’t knock over the priceless painting! That was my first thought upon entering Barbara Stella’s pristine studio in West Palm Beach, Florida, where she works to conserve and restore art. Did I mention her resume includes the restoration of pieces by master painters, Rembrandt and Veronese? Once I got over my irrational fear of tripping into a priceless work of art, I had a great time photographing the space and collaborating with Barbara on our Luxe Interiors + Design […]
