There’s a whole lot of talk about Miley Cyrus and her controversial picture.  All this talk however gives Annie Leibovitz free advertising if she needed to be more famous which honestly she doesn’t need. 

In sense, I do not deny the fact that took the pictures for Art’s sake as she is truly an artist.  Even John Lennon’s naked picture with Yoko Ono was artistically done.  And although she is only 15 years-old the picture that Leibovitz took on an artistic level was quite good.  Whether or not it was morally correct to have used a 15 year old model for young kids for such an evocative picture is not the issue that I’m trying to bring forth.  All I am saying is that same picture was very well done and Leibovitz has surely used numerous actors and actresses to create the photographic art that she does. 

In Miley Cyrus’ picture the color contrast – the blackness of her hair in contrast to the whiteness of her skin – creates a beautifully gothic-like picture of a young girl.  Miley looked like a young vampire even.  But then that’s not how most people see it….

Just so that you can appreciate more of Leibovitz artistic talent, here are some more of the pictures that she has done….
