The Photograph

CNN reports that teen queen Miley Cyrus, aka Hannah Montana, is involved in a 'Vanity Fair' photo controversy.  The photo in question , shows Cyrus holding a  blanket, with her bare back visible.  The photograph was taken by acclaimed photographer, Annie Leibovitz, who was recently in the news for her untraditional portrait photos of the Queen of England.  Leibovitz has defended her photo of Cyrus by saying, "I'm sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted... The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful."  I agree.  The portrait is composed beautifully, and doesn't appear to be intentionally provocative.  In the article, even Cyrus says, "I thought, this looks pretty, and really natural. I think it’s really artsy.”  This matter is up to subjective debate, and it appears the media is sensationalizing it.  Either way, I believe Hannah Montana will continue to be Disney's top show.
