Photo Finish

  Photo Finish is a famous fashion photographer in Equestria. She is based on the iconic editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, Anna Wintour.

Personality
With her pseudo-German accent, Photo Finish joins the ranks of unplacable foreign-accent ponies. She is quite posh, stuck up, and dismissive of ponies she deems unworthy of her time. She travels with an entourage of servile ponies who never speak and who cater to her every whim, doing things like carrying her around and vanishing the moment she tells them to leave. She always referring to herself as "I, Photo Finish", and she is never seen without her sunglasses on.

History
Photo Finish first appeared in Green Isn't Your Color. She is first mentioned by Rarity during the spa scene, where she mentioned Photo Finish as having been impressed by some of her latest fashion attire. She soon appears in the Carousel Boutique where she holds a photo-shoot of Fluttershy, seemingly fascinated by the pegasus' innocence and simplicity (As she rejected any extra flair that the former had attempted at Rarity's insistence). Photo Finish eventually launches Fluttershy into a modeling career instead of promoting Rarity's dresses, much to Rarity's disappointment. With Photo Finish as her manager, Fluttershy took the modeling world by storm, but grew to hate her fame almost immediately as she did not like the excessive attention, nor did she like being kept away from her friends. Twilight tried to sabotage Fluttershy's latest photo shoot in order to get her out of her contract, much to Photo Finish's horror, but an accidental intervention on Rarity's part made Fluttershy more popular, and Photo Finish sought to promote her more eagerly than ever. However, Fluttershy finally came clean with her dislike of the spotlight with Rarity, and quit modeling altogether, much to Photo Finish's surprise.

Trivia

 * From her looks, Photo Finish is based on Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of the fashion and lifestyle magazine Vogue. Their hairstyle and sunglasses are highly similar. Although many Fans believe that she is based on Lady GaGa an American pop singer-songwriter, for she once had a similar style that matches the Pony in her song Poker Face.
 * In horse racing, a "photo finish" is when competitors finish so closely that a photograph is needed to determine the actual winner.
 * Photo Finish's cutie mark is the same as Twilight Sparkle. This is because Photo Finish was made from Twilight Sparkle's flash model and the visibility of Twilight's cutie mark was likely overlooked during production, although her cutie mark could be attributed to her making "Da Magicks" with her camera.
