Photographer Report - Annie Leibovitz (Disney Series)

I had the chance to see an Annie Leibovitz gallery in Balboa a couple years ago, and was mesmerized by her work. Most of her images seemed to focus on celebrities and pop culture in general - to me, there were a lot of sensationalized images.


As a big Disney fan, I was surprised to find out that 1) Annie Leibovitz was going to doing a series of images combining celebrities and classic scenes from Disney animated films, and 2) I even knew who Annie Leibovitz was. Really, it made me feel cultured, if even only a little bit.

On the surface this is consumerism in its prime, but me being biased towards Disney, I find the charm in the series. I think there's something otherwordly about them - two worlds that really shouldn't exist in one, yet they do. They are jarring, yet somehow natural.
