This led her to France, the United States, and England. While in
London, she developed her talent and interest in photography and began
working as a freelance photographer for "The Clash", "The Pogues" and
magazines such as: Melody Maker, Sounds, Time Out, and Zig-Zag. In
1986, she returned to Canada to study at the Dawson College Institute
of Photography. She continued her freelance editorial work during her
studies and graduated with honors. In 1990, Rivelli moved to Toronto,
worked as a freelancer for "The Globe and Mail" newspaper (mostly the
Art section), and captured images of dance in collaboration with
prestigious artists such as Serge Bennathan's Dancemakers, Desrosiers
Dance Theatre, Sylvie Bouchard, Learie Mc Nicolls, Julia Sasso, and
Julia Aplin. In 1997, she returned to her native Montreal and began
working with BJM Danse, Le Cirque du Soleil, Cinemaginaire, Flare
Magazine. She also continued her freelance collaboration with "The
Globe and Mail" receiving international awards for her photo

film stills- are Rivelli's favorite photo subjects, her camera is
always ready for any type of work. She thrives on being versatile. With
her cheerful disposition, caring manner and clever eye, Rivelli always
manages to capture on film images that have earned her respect in her
chosen field. It's easy to understand why she is always in demand. Her
