Simmons Delegation Portraits

December 4, 2019 by Sonya Revell

“While studying journalism, I noticed an absence of Black stories, an erasure of the richness and complexity of Black life.  When stories about blackness did appear, they featured depictions of violence, disadvantage, and the occasional success story implicating Black accomplishment was somehow surprising.  The lack of narrative diversity created a subconscious internalization: Black journalists must be as absent as Black stories.” – Maya Valentine Simmons University sent its first delegation to the National Association of Black Journalist Convention, in Miami.  […]

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 […]

New Advertising Campaign Photography for UM Health System/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, in Collaboration with M&C Saatchi

October 11, 2016 by Sonya Revell

Earlier this summer, (while in Italy actually) I got the email from M&C Saatchi that I’d been waiting for- confirming that we’d be moving forward and photographing the new advertising campaign for the University of Miami Health System/Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.  I immediately got in touch with my producer, Spike Molina, who had been waiting for the green light, while also in Europe.  We both hopped on planes and headed back to Florida to kick off the production. Spike and […]

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, […]

Portraits of Alan Faena for Forbes

July 8, 2016 by Sonya Revell

After an amazing work/sight-seeing trip to Europe (more on that to come) it’s time to play catch-up with my blog…. I’m really excited to share this editorial shoot with Alan Faena, at the Faena Hotel, on Miami Beach, which was commissioned by Forbes back in April.  Alan is an Argentine hotelier and real estate developer, not to mention quite the snazzy dresser.  (If you do a Google search for him, as I did in preparation for the shoot, you’ll see that […]

Quiet Portraits of a Family

September 12, 2015 by Sonya Revell

I was recently commissioned to make some portraits of the Tavakolis, a terrific family with whom I’ve collaborated in the past.  I’ve always had a great experience photographing this lovely family, as they have a shared enthusiasm for the craft, an openness to ideas, and well… they’re just all-around good people. For this shoot, we met up at the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa, where my assistant, Dragi and I set up a make-shift studio in the Tavakolis’ room. […]
