NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (UPI) -- A New York celebrity stylist is suing Annie Leibovitz for $400,000, claiming the famed photographer failed to pay her for work she did on a Disney ad campaign.

Nicoletta Santora and Leibovitz collaborated on a series of ads that featured celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Lopez and David Beckham as iconic Disney movie characters.

The New York Post reported Wednesday Santora's company, The Art Department Creative Services, filed a lawsuit in Manhattan this month against Leibovitz, demanding the photographer pay her what she allegedly promised.

The company said it has sent numerous invoices requesting payment for $515,000. However, Leibovitz has, thus far, paid less than $130,000.

The Post said its call to a Leibovitz representative seeking comment was not returned.
