Working on the behest of the Disney company Annie Leibovitz did a series of photographs combining famous celebrities and classic fairytale scenes. Here we see Scarlett Johansson as the young Cinderella escaping from the ball. In the context of the story the lighting here is all wrong. Cinderella leaves just as the clock strikes midnight, and yet the sky in this photograph is more reminiscent of early dawn. And yet the soft blue sky and the foggy glow covering the castle in the distance really tell a story. The castle hidden in the mist speaks of a far of fantasy, a better life. The soft blue hues in the picture accentuate Cinderella's dazzling flowing gown. It focuses the viewers attention on Cinderella, the star of the photograph, and just ties the whole thing together.
