First Photo Shoot of 2019

January 14, 2019 by Sonya Revell

Within the first week of each year, I like to kick things off by photographing a self-assigned photo shoot for my portfolio. For 2019, I was finally able to pull together a photo shoot that I’ve been wanting to do for several years now. A while back I dreamt up the idea of photographing a story of a 1960s housewife. Since I live in a mid-century modern condo building in Miami, I didn’t have to look far for the ideal […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

Portrait of Peter Gary of Pinnacle Advertising for Adweek

November 13, 2014 by Sonya Revell

My first step with any editorial portrait assignment is always research. I look for pictures of the subject, try to read up on his/her background and if I’m shooting in/around the subject’s office (or a location I’ve never been to), I try to scope that out as well. When Adweek approached me to photograph Peter Gary, CEO of Pinnacle Advertising in Boca Raton, I went right to Google. Between visits to Pinnacle’s website and google images, I concluded that the agency had […]

Portrait of Lt. Colonel Ricardo Roig for GX Magazine

September 4, 2014 by Sonya Revell

Straight out of the gate, my shoot for GX Magazine presented a interesting challenge; while the shoot would take place in South Florida, the images needed to look as if they could have been taken in Iraq. (Hummm!?) Thankfully Lieutenant Colonel Ricardo Roig, the main subject I would be photographing, was on it. He proposed that the shoot take place at the West Palm Beach Armory, where he oversees the weaponry and equipment. With its gravel parking lot, tree-less […]
