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 […]

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 of Billy Corben | Time Out Miami

September 4, 2018 by Sonya Revell

Whether you live in Miami or not, you’re probably familiar with the city’s storied, drug-fueled past of the late 1970’s and early 80’s (hello Miami Vice). You may have even seen Cocaine Cowboys, a documentary film featuring first-hand accounts of the major drug trafficking and subsequent money laundering operations that took place in Miami during that time. This happens to be one of my all-time favorite documentary films, so when I got the assignment to photograph the film’s director (and local Miamian), […]

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 […]

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 […]

Organic Gardening Magazine, Portrait of Andres Mejides in Homestead, FL

January 18, 2014 by Sonya Revell

Top reasons my shoot with Organic Gardening Magazine test gardener, Andres Mejides, was one of my favorites of 2013 (in no particular order), As a nearly life-long vegetarian, I have really come to appreciate organically grown produce (don’t panic, it’s organic) I’d rather be outdoors than in and jump at the chance to shoot outside Growing up in Kentucky, everyone I knew had some sort of garden and in the fourth grade (before discovering photography) I decided I wanted to […]

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 […]
