Queef Latina Stars in Cabana Fever

January 27, 2020 by Sonya Revell

  Last year we met our bored housewife for the first time, but the story continues… A weary drag housewife, bored by the repetitive nature of her daily tasks, seeks more beauty and excitement in her life.  As she takes her latest drag creation out for a stroll, she gets the call she’s been waiting for! She packs her bags and calls the nanny to look after her drag children while she’s gone. She dyes her hair dark and buys […]

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.  […]

Lifestyle Portraits | Compass

November 2, 2019 by Sonya Revell

In Miami, real estate is Queen! (Or King, depending on your preference 😉  My partnership with Compass has lead me to photograph some of the top real estate agents that live and work around sunny South Florida.  And we’ve produced some fun lifestyle and portrait photography that highlights the neighborhoods, listings, and agents’ personalities all at once.  Here are a couple of my recent favorites with a few queens of Miami real estate… Marcy and Lori in the Upper Eastside- […]

Teresa Weintraub | BC Law Alumni

September 7, 2019 by Sonya Revell

Teresa Weintraub—international wealth advisor, mother, Cuban expat, Miami resident, and much more—has a full life, to say the least.  And back in May, I had the opportunity to photograph this busy Boston College Law Alum at her home in Coral Gables.   Mrs. Weintraub is an inspiring figure who has overcome the odds not just to survive, but to flourish. Her family fled Cuba and lost a considerable amount of wealth in the process, settling as one of the many […]

Synovus Bank | Advertising Portraits

July 11, 2019 by Sonya Revell

A few months back I was invited to collaborate with Fitzco, an Atlanta-based ad agency, to photograph a regional advertising campaign for Synovus bank.  For this project, my team and I got to hop is a big blue cargo van and take a little road trip around South and Central Florida, during which, we photographed seven Synovus bankers, in six cities, over six days. Since Synovus’s slogan is “The Bank of Here” the goal was to make environmental portraits of these […]

portrait photography of NFL player, Brandon Copeland, with interview for Kiplinger's magazine

Brandon Copeland | Kiplinger’s Magazine

June 17, 2019 by Sonya Revell

I had the good fortune to photograph NFL New York Jets linebacker, Brandon Copeland, for Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine a while back.  My assistant and I set up a makeshift studio inside Copeland’s training gym in Weston, Florida, where we made his portrait for this article.  We chatted with the expectant father about his baby on the way, flipping houses in Detroit, and his thoughts on concussions (something I have personal experience with).  He couldn’t have been nicer or more […]

Portrait of Mia Nygren | Billboard Magazine

January 3, 2019 by Sonya Revell

Have you ever had one of those moments when you realize you’re living out a childhood fantasy?    As a music fan, this assignment was one of those for me.  In fact, if someone had told my 16-year-old self that I would photograph for Billboard Magazine, I would probably have fainted from excitement.  So when the photo editor from Billboard reached out about a portrait assignment, I was pretty elated.  My subject: Mia Nygren, managing director of Latin America for […]

Portraits of Phillip Estlund | Luxe

October 24, 2018 by Sonya Revell

A while back I drove up to West Palm Beach to photograph artist, Phillip Estlund, for his ‘style-makers’ spread in Luxe Interiors + Design magazine.  Phillip’s work is an interesting mix of furniture making-  including wood-working and decoupage, and collage artwork.  All of his work seems to have a fun, mid-century vibe, in which he often incorporates botanical images and illustrations, along with raw materials. I got to make some fun environmental portraits of Estlund at both his wood-working studio […]

Portrait of Billy Corben | Time Out Miami

September 4, 2018 by Sonya Revell

Whether you live in Miami or not, you’re probably familiar with the city’s storied, drug-fueled past of the late 1970’s and early 80’s (hello Miami Vice).  You may have even seen Cocaine Cowboys, a documentary film featuring first-hand accounts of the major drug trafficking and subsequent money laundering operations that took place in Miami during that time.  This happens to be one of my all-time favorite documentary films, so when I got the assignment to photograph the film’s director (and local Miamian), […]

Men’s Style | Welcome to the Jungle

July 21, 2018 by Sonya Revell

TESTING, TESTING, 1.2.3…. It is truly a great thing that I get paid to create photography.  But even if I didn’t- even if the whole ‘career’ thing never worked out, I’d definitely still be dressing people up and asking them to sit in front of my camera to have their picture taken.  But as with many other things, my enthusiasm for the work comes and goes, so it’s important that every now and then I plan a photo shoot that […]
