Nikki Lee Photo

This is a photograph by Nikki Lee. The interpretation that I get from this picture is that the woman kneeling down to pose with the dog is a celebrity or wealthy person and Nikki Lee is her personal assistant. They are in front of an upscale-looking store, and Lee is holding the dog's leash in addition to carrying shopping bags. The woman also carries a small bag, so maybe they are just friends that are shopping together. Lee's photographs are very realistic, and I feel like some of them, (such as the pictures in which she portrays a skater, girlfriend of a redneck, etc.), play on stereotypes of specific groups of people.
