Synovus Bank | Advertising Portraits

July 11, 2019 by Sonya Revell

A few months back I was invited to collaborate with Fitzco, an Atlanta-based ad agency, to photograph a regional advertising campaign for Synovus bank. For this project, my team and I got to hop is a big blue cargo van and take a little road trip around South and Central Florida, during which, we photographed seven Synovus bankers, in six cities, over six days. Since Synovus’s slogan is “The Bank of Here” the goal was to make environmental portraits of these […]

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 […]

GoFundMe Heroes Campaign

November 18, 2018 by Sonya Revell

For the GoFundMe Heroes Campaign, I had the honor of photographing Luis Garcia, a retired paramedic, and firefighter who spent $40K of his own savings on Narcan. While attending and documenting his class, which is free to the public, I learned a lot about this life-saving Nasal spray that can literally bring people back from the dead after an opioid overdose. (I even received my own dose, which I hope to never have to use.) After Luis’ class, we had […]

SB Architects | Portraits & Corporate Culture

April 2, 2018 by Sonya Revell

As a self-employed person, SB Architects is possibly the only office I’ve ever walked into and thought, I want to work here! I didn’t know exactly what to expect upon taking the assignment to photograph portraits of SB’s principal architects and corporate culture, but I certainly didn’t expect to like the vibe so much! As a photographer, I’ve visited many businesses and offices in Florida. But I must say that SB Architects fosters a culture that is pretty unlike any of the other businesses I’ve seen in Miami. Their Coral Gables office feels dynamic, creative and collaborative, […]

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 […]

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, […]

Portrait of Lou Mosca and George Cloutier, of American Management Services, Forbes Magazine

Portrait Photography for Forbes Magazine

March 17, 2016 by Sonya Revell

I met up with George Cloutier and Lou Mosca, of American Management Services, at George’s home office in Palm Beach, FL. I had been commissioned by Forbes to make a portrait of Lou and George just after Christmas. Since the house was decorated for the holidays, we opted to shoot in the outdoor space overlooking the ocean…not bad. The only caveat to shooting outside, was having mother nature cooperate. Within a matter of minutes the weather shifted from bright sun to […]

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 […]

Art/Design/Architecture – Portrait of a Miami Design Team

November 23, 2015 by Sonya Revell

With Art Basel 2015 just around the corner, Miami’s art scene is abuzz in anticipation. For this month’s Luxe Interiors + Design I was given the extraordinary task of photographing one of Miami’s preeminent art/design/architecture teams- Rosario Marquardt and Roberto Behar, of R & R Studios. Over the last few years I’ve made portraits of many of South Florida’s most talented artists and designers. However, working with this husband-and-wife team felt a little extra special. I was already quite fond […]
