To me, the image is very shock art. Most people may not recognize the symbolism of the picture, but it is of Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie from Sex and the City. In the series Carrie was known for her fashion choices, but with this picture by David LaChapelle, Carrie is shown to be on a crowded subway completely in focus while all the other passengers are blurred. For most people, the first thought upon viewing the image would think that it was completely rude but when connected to the Sex and the City series it makes more sense, she is selling herself, her fashion to make a statement. The lighting in the picture is coming from the front of Sarah Jessica Parker and from the subway lights on top give it multiple angles of light exposure. Over all i really enjoy the picture, and as a Sex and the City fan it does justice to Carrie.
