Legendary celebrity snapper Annie Leibovitz has issued a statement defending her near nude photo of Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus in the June issue of Vanity Fair Magazine.

“I’m sorry that my portrait of Miley has been misinterpreted,” Annie Leibovitz said in a statement on Monday. “Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together, and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful.”

No way this photograph should be published. A artistic photograph demonstrating an innocent young girl is one thing , however this photograph is a complete and total disgrace, it suggests sex which is way too mature for a CHILD of only 15 years old. As a parent I try hard to teach my children morals and values. To teach them that sex is something not to be taken lightly and here she is obviously NOT taking it lightly looking like a Lolita. What was this photographer thinking? This isn’t beautiful, this is a boudoir photograph, it is sick!

i dont think there is anything wrong with this picture it reminds me of a potrait hanging up in an art museum. its innocent you can tell by the look on her face. shes not trying to pose like a slut shes just posing and i think she looks gorgeous it would be completly diffrent if she was actually posing nude but shes not so why dont you people get a life and leave her alone.

miley’s parents were on site during the shoot. they all saw the picture, as it was taken digitally and was available to be seen instantly. if they opposed the picture, miley and her parents should have objected then, not after clearly, and sadly, getting pressure from her kid-centric cash cow, disney.

[also, jenna, you should be slapped for accusing annie leibovitz of being a sick boudoir photographer. her work is beautiful, classy, and edgy, all at the same time. miley cyrus should feel honored and own up to approving the portrait rather than playing dumb and feeling "ashamed".]

Annie Leibovitz is an incredibly talented photographer who has never taken a bad picture of anyone. Miley admitted that she was honored to do the photoshoot and approved the pictures shortly after they were taken. It’s a shame that now after there’s been “scandal” surrounding it she’s upset about the pictures. The pictures are still artistic and beautiful.
If she’s mature enough to be earning $18 million for a TV show and concert tour, she’s mature enough to pose for art that shows no more than what would show if she were in a bikini.

At fifteen, I know what it’s like to have sexual temptations, but the key is to not give in to them. I’m against what she did, but everyone makes mistakes. She may have more influence on everyday people than you do, but you can’t hate her for what she did. No one’s perfect. I say we give her another chance.

This is one of the most beautiful and sensitive photo portraits I’ve ever seen. When over time all the cackling and tut-tutting is silenced Miley Cyrus (and the rest of us) will still have this beautiful image to enjoy.

Wow this looks like a fashion magazine picture sure yes it might be good for maybey elle magazine or any other magazine but it is not beautiful or fashion like for a young girl ,15 yr old to take a picture nude with only part of her body and revealing her back.Atleast if the photographer wanted to take that kind of picture she should have used an older woman like in 20’s or something instead of miley.
