Advertising Portraits | Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center

May 15, 2017 by Sonya Revell

I’m excited to share the second leg of the advertising campaign I photographed for Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center a while back. Talk about a dream job! I worked with M&C Saatchi LA to produce eight portraits of talent, at various ‘unique to South Florida’ locations, which ranged all the way from Hollywood to Coral Gables. We shot all eight portraits over two days, allowing only about two hours per location. I really enjoyed scouting for the perfect background in each […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Wonderful Machine Does Miami

March 10, 2014 by Sonya Revell

I thought I’d share a recent blog post written by Wonderful Machine’s producer extraordinaire, Karrisa Olsen. It’s a fun recap of their recent meet-and-greet/portfolio-sharing trip to Miami. I have been partnered with WM for many years – first when I lived in California and again when I moved back to Miami. They have been a huge asset to my business, especially when it comes to marketing, estimating, and portfolio editing . We got together for happy hour in downtown Miami to […]

Vintage, Horses, Blonds…OH MY!

December 2, 2013 by Sonya Revell

I grew up in Kentucky. So like it or not, horse culture is sort of in my blood. Like a good Kentuckian, I took horse-back riding lessons in the second grade and I make the annual trip home every Derby. (Although, funny enough, I’ve never actually attended the Derby. I, instead, go to the Oaks- more of a local tradition.) And I never miss out on a piece of Derby pie. So when I was approached to make some portraits […]
