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 […]

At Home with Zak the Baker | The Kitchn

March 23, 2017 by Sonya Revell

For my first assignment with The Kitchn, I took a little drive over the causeway to the beach town of Surfside. Once there, I met up with my writer/friend, Jesse (who also happened to put me up for the assignment). We were welcomed into the home of Zak Stern and Batsheva Wulfsohn- the couple behind the wildly popular Miami destination, Zak the Baker- a kosher bakery/cafe located in the Wynwood arts district. Jesse and I were there to capture how the […]

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 […]

Senior Lifestyle Portraits for Vi Living

December 7, 2016 by Sonya Revell

My great-grandmother lived to be nearly 102 years old and she was one of my first portrait photography subjects. She could recount stories from five generations! Her stories were fascinating and so was she. Maybe it’s because of her that I have such an affinity for those that are older and wiser than I. And it’s no secret that South Florida is a mecca for retirees and seniors seeking year-round sunshine. So when the marketing manager of Vi Living, 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 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 […]

Portrait of Rory Babich CEO of Florida Panthers with hockey puck at BBT Center

Portraits of Florida Panthers CEO, Rory Babich

December 17, 2015 by Sonya Revell

The last time I went ice-skating I was 13 years old. It didn’t go well. I rented a pair of ill-filling skates, my ankles buckled and I held onto the railing for dear life for most of the session. I blame the skates. As I was preparing for my photo shoot with Rory Babich, CEO of the Florida Panthers, I replayed my last attempt at ice-skating over and over in my mind. I had been commissioned by Penn Law Journal […]
