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 […]

Organic Gardening Magazine, Portrait of Andres Mejides in Homestead, FL

January 18, 2014 by Sonya Revell

Top reasons my shoot with Organic Gardening Magazine test gardener, Andres Mejides, was one of my favorites of 2013 (in no particular order), As a nearly life-long vegetarian, I have really come to appreciate organically grown produce  (don’t panic, it’s organic) I’d rather be outdoors than in and jump at the chance to shoot outside Growing up in Kentucky, everyone I knew had some sort of garden and in the fourth grade (before discovering photography) I decided I wanted to […]

First Shoot of 2014

January 5, 2014 by Sonya Revell

To start the year off right, I always like to have a portfolio shoot lined up during the first week of January.  This helps me set the tone and photographic direction for the new year.  For this one, we headed up to the Hollywood boardwalk and found the perfect stretch of empty beach. This shoot also gave me a chance to play with my new toy-  a GoPro, which will definitely be capturing some behind-the-scenes action in 2014!

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 […]

Leslie Bradshaw for Cosmopolitan Magazine

November 19, 2013 by Sonya Revell

I had the pleasure of photographing Guide COO, Leslie Bradshaw, for the November Issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine.  Leslie is part of a “Lean In” group, in which her former female colleagues (all of whom are spread across the globe) meet via video conference, once a week, to chat about business and get feedback related to issues they may be experiencing.  To maintain authenticity, we actually set up the photo shoot to take place during one such meeting.  Although I tried […]

A Portrait of Maria Mejia for POZ Magazine

October 11, 2013 by Sonya Revell

One of the many things I love about making portraits, is getting to help relay the diverse stories of so many interesting people.  Maria Mejia, the subject of my POZ Magazine shoot, definitely has a striking story to tell.  Diagnosed with HIV at the age of 18, she chose not to retreat from life, but rather to stand strong, educate herself, and share her story honestly.   Armed with courage, a great deal of knowledge and empathy, she is able […]

Carlos Martinez, Miami’s Public Defender, for ABA Journal

October 2, 2013 by Sonya Revell

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Carlos Martinez, Miami’s lead public defender, for the October issue of ABA Journal.  Mr. Martinez was extremely gracious and I have the utmost respect for the work that he does.  Here is a link to the article,  Miami-Dade’s overburdened PD’s office may decline new clients, Florida court says and some images from the shoot.

Wayne Chaplin of Southern Wine & Spirits for Forbes Life Magazine

July 25, 2013 by Sonya Revell

Back in April I was asked to photograph Wayne Chaplin, President and COO of Southern Wine & Spirits for Forbes Life magazine.  The editor at Forbes was looking for a shot with a lifestyle-y feel.  With this information in mind, I picked a spot on the FIU campus, just outside of the new School of Hospitality & Tourism- A brand new building bearing Chaplin’s name.  The finishing touches were just being applied inside the large building, which was funded largely […]
