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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

The French Horn – Conceptual Portraits

May 13, 2015 by Sonya Revell

Stagnation sucks. As a commercial photographer, I find it so important to continually challenge myself by evolving my style and technique. The best way that I’ve found to keep stagnation from setting in, is to work on personal photography projects as often as I can. For my latest self-assignment, I wanted to create a conceptual portrait within a nightscape. Since I love photographing performers, I approached the amazingly talented gypsy/jazz band, The French Horn, about collaborating. They were open to […]

Dot 51 Gallery for Luxe Interiors + Design

April 17, 2015 by Sonya Revell

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the most recent issue of Luxe Interiors + Design, as it includes a fun photography spread we shot at Dot 51 Gallery, in the Wynwood arts district of Miami. Alfredo Guzman and Isaac Perelman, the owners/curators of Dot 51 were extremely welcoming and easy to photograph. We had a great time working on this all-encompassing shoot, which incorporated everything from the gallery space featuring the art, to portraits of Guzman and Perelman, to the […]

Attorney Portraits for American Bar Association Journal

March 23, 2015 by Sonya Revell

I regularly photograph portrait assignments for the ABA Journal. With many of these assignments, the challenge is to create an interesting environmental portrait, within an environment that isn’t always so interesting looking (read law office). This, however, is not to say that the subjects themselves are uninteresting- they can actually be pretty fascinating. Take University of Miami law professor, Mary Anne Franks for example. When she’s not duking it out over anti-cyberbullying and ‘revenge porn’ laws, she’s kicking butt as an expert practitioner […]
