Famous photographer Annie Leibovitz has published the latest in her long-time series of Disney-themed celebrity portraits. Jessica Chastain, who has starred in films like Zero Dark Thirty and The Help, poses as the fiery red-headed Merida from Disney's Brave.
Chastain joins a star-studded list of Hollywood colleagues that have posed as Disney characters from classic movies. Russel Brand as Captain Hook from Peter Pan, Beyonce as Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and Michael Phelps as a merman in The Little Mermaid are just a few of the other awesome Disney portraits in the series.
Annie Leibovitz's photography is recognized around the world for her powerful and intimate celebrity portraits, began the series after being approached by the Walt Disney Company with the idea of doing the series to promote their “Year Of A Million Dreams” promotion. That promotion is over, but Leibovitz continues to take these wonderful portraits of famous people.
These images are far from being her most famous pictures – far from it. Annie Leibovitz's photo of the most significance is probably the portrait she took of John Lennon and Yoko Ono in which Lennon is lying naked next to Ono and hugging her.
